How to Refill Ink Cartridge Using Limited Resources?

By Simon Giles


When ink in the cartridge gets completed, there is no need to start hunting for a new cartridge out in the market. Instead, a simpler option of re-filling the liquid is abundantly available these days. In particular shops, ink refilling service is provided and they can replenish your used cartridges for a price.

Re-filling of cartridges can be done in the comfort of your own house without going to the stores. A refilling kit should have a complete instruction booklet to show you how to refill the ink cartridge. Many people are still unaware of this due to poor advertising and often go to the stores and waste money for this job.

There are two versions of ink re-filling kits. One being a universal ink refill kit that can be used to refill any model. The other is a refill kit that caters to only a specific model. The refill kit supplier will include thorough instructions on how to do this properly.

The directions issued in the kits are very clear and precise. On following them correctly, refilling of ink would be done without having ink falling on you or on other areas. The actual procedure would be very easy and is not time consuming if you've followed all the directions. However, a few safety measures need to be kept in mind.

A very important matter is that the cartridge should not be completely empty and ink chamber and the printer head should not be allowed to go completely dry. The printer should have been in use regularly to avoid such drying out. The refill kit consists of a refill clip and injection syringe containing ink, injection needle, ink suction syringe, and instruction for refilling.

The process of refilling is initiated by keeping the cartridge in the clip and the plastic shield of the ink at the inlet must be taken out. Next the injection needle must be connected to the container and ink is ejected into the syringe by means of the needle. Lastly, by forcing down the piston of the syringe, ink is filled into the cartridge.

The final step is to draw a little ink into the nozzle of the syringe for the purpose of cleaning it. Replace the cartridge into the printer. Soft tissue should be used to clean and remove excess ink. This is how to refill ink cartridge and complete the process.
