***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 to work over.

 

 

1. Enlarge the vent hole on the top of the cartridge using the thumb drill provided. (Do not remove the top.)
2. Fill the syringe with 10cc. of ink, insert the needle into the vent hole and push down into the center of the cartridge. Slowly inject up to 10cc of black ink into the cartridge.
3. Set above a paper towel for half an hour as a drip precaution.Expect a few drips. Do not allow the cartridge to touch the paper towel at this point, since the towel will draw out the ink.

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