***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.The filler holes of the cartridge are located under the top. Remove the top before refilling by carefully prying it off with pocket knife.
2. It's a good move to check the color chambers with a tooth pick before putting in ink. The chambers are somewhat dry and you might have to push the tooth pick in far to get ink on it.
3. Insert the filling needle into the filler hole of the color to be refilled.
4. Slowly inject up to 8ml. of ink until the sponge is saturated.
Important: When you take off the color cartridge cap, you will notice that the sponge is white. Fill the individual colors until the color just begins to show in the white sponge.
5. After refilling the top can be put back on with scotch tape.
6. 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.

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


If necessary leave cartridge in printer for up to 24 hours. (Allows ink to flow to the print head).

A Refill Kit should include Ink plus the following:
1 Syringe/Sharp needle per color
