***IMPORTANT NOTICE*** Do not try printing with your cartridge completely out of ink, you could damage the printhead. Inkjet printers work by heating up a resistor inside the printhead, which heats up the ink before it is sprayed onto the paper. If there is no ink to keep these cool, it is possible to fry them.

Always refill before you are completely run out of ink.

Instructions: Wear old clothes and use newspapers or paper towels.

1. Turn the cartridge upside down. Scrape off the plastic film and push the steel ballbearing in with a ball point pen.
2. Screw the needle on to the syringe and draw some ink into it. Fill the cartridge with about 30 ml of ink, or until it starts to come out of the fill hole.
3. Squeeze the sides of the cartridge and push the green plug into the fill hole. This can be removed and replaced each time you refill.
4. Set the cartridge on something (ie: block of wood) that will allow the printhead to hang off the edge, allowing any excess ink to drip onto a paper towel. Let it sit until the vacuum stabilizes and the cartridge stops dripping. Do not allow the printhead to touch the paper towel because the ink will be wicked out.

Replace the cartridge and run 1-3 cleaning cycles as per printer instructions.


If necessary, leave the cartridge in the printer for up to 24 hours.

A Refill Kit should include Ink plus the following:
1 Syringe/Blunt Needle
1 Plug
