***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. |

Black & Color Cartridges
1. Peel the label back on the top of the cartridge, as shown below and make a hole in the top of the cartridge using the Thumb Drill included. Make the hole on the opposite side of the sponge which is the reservoir side.
2. Attach the needle to the syringe and fill with the correct color ink.
3. Inject approximately 5 ml. of ink into the filling hole until the chamber is almost full. Unused ink may be returned to the bottle.
4. Use the screw included to seal the filling hole, making certain that the screw is completely sealed into the cartridge or you can seal the hole with the aluminum tape provided.
Additional Note: In some cases the sponge has deteriorated and it cannot hold the ink and the ink will leak out the outlet hole. If this happens an alternate method of refilling is to drip ink onto the sponge until it is absorbed, however, your total page output will be less than a complete fill.
5. Replace the cartridge and run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as per printer instructions.
If necessary leave cartridge in printer for up to 24 hours.
6. Rinse the syringe with water and dry for further use.
Note: Immediately refill any empty cartridges.
