The instructions below describe how to fill and use refillable cartridges, in general terms. Color managed work flows are not discussed here, nor
are instructions for using Piezography inks. Filling and using these cartridges is easy, provided you are prepared before you begin and follow the
instructions below. Additional ink bottles are available from www.inkjetmall.com. For further information on ConeColor inks, visit
www.conecolor.com, or Piezography visit www.piezography.com/PiezoPress. Printer specific info for Piezography K7 ink shade placement is
located on page 2 of these instructions, please refer to it before filling the cartridges with ink.
*Inspect cartridges for damage and make sure chips are secured flat to carts before filling with ink.
*Test your printer with Epson carts to make sure it works perfectly before installing any third party inks/carts, even if
using a brand new printer.

Piezography ink users: Clean color ink off points in print head. Using Q-tips and PiezoFlush or distilled water, carefully wipe each point in a
circular motion with a moist Q-tip, then absorb remaining liquid using dry Q-tips (see photo above). This is to avoid color staining in your B&W
cartridges and prints.

Filling Procedure:
1. Place empty cartridges, ink bottles and syringes on a work surface. Choose filling area and clothes you wear carefully, as accidents can
happen, and pigment ink is permanent. Have glass cleaner and paper towels handy in case ink is spilled, and wear rubber gloves when
working with ink.
2. Select the correct bottle of ink for the cartridge, and shake it gently. Unscrew the cap, and remove the silicone plug or cut around the foil seal
to open the bottle.
3. Fill a syringe with 15ml of ink using a blunt needle to draw ink out of bottle. Make sure to fill each cartridge with the correct ink; if mis-filled
with the wrong ink, cartridges can not be cleaned and must be replaced.
4. Remove fill hole plug from top of cartridge.
5. Leaving needle attached to syringe, insert needle into cartridge fill hole. Hold cartridge at an angle with fill hole up then gently push syringe
plunger to slowly refill cartridge with ink. Tap side of cartridge with your knuckle to release trapped air and allow ink to settle, then continue
filling.
6. Once cartridge is filled with ink, remove needle from cartridge and insert rubber plug securely back into the fill hole. For accurate ink level
tracking, cartridges must be totally filled (a small air bubble is ok, but too much air can cause the cart to empty before the printer gives
warning).
7. Gently tap filled cartridge a few times exit valve down on a folded paper towel to force air up and ink down. Remove air vent plug from the
cartridge, making sure vent hole is fully OPEN. Do not remove top or side labels.
8. Install cartridges into printer (make sure they snap firmly in place for proper instillation), wait 10-15 minutes to allow ink to settle, then run
1-3 cleaning cycles and print a nozzle check to verify all positions are fully printing. Now you are ready to print! Syringes and needles can be
rinsed out with water, air dried and reused many times.
