Remove the orange rubber plug from the air port. Take the
syringe you used to fill the cartridges with ink, remove the
needle, and push a tapered end adaptor onto the end of the
syringe. Gently push the tip of the tapered adaptor through
the hole in the film and into the rubber seal in the ink exit port.
Now pull on the syringe plunger to extract air from the
cartridge until you get a flow of ink into the syringe, as in this
picture. Remove the syringe and adaptor from the cartridge,
and return any ink in the syringe to the appropriate color ink
bottle.
Replace the orange rubber plug over the air port before
moving the cartridge. You can now top up the cartridge with
ink again as in step 2 above, if you wish. Wash out the syringe
and adaptor using water under a faucet. The cartridge is now
ready for use. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 with any cartridges you
want to fill and use at this time.
INSTALLING AND USING THE CARTRIDGES
You install and use the cartridges in the machine just like normal cartridges. Just remember to remove the
orange rubber plug from the air hole before attempting to install the cartridge in the printer. As mentioned
above, whenever you remove a cartridge or cartridges from the printer for refilling, always close the cartridge
bay door after you have removed the cartridges. This ensures that the chips will read correctly when you re-
install the cartridge or cartridges. The bridge chips on the refillable cartridges show as permanently full on the
printers display. The best way to use the refillable cartridges is to regularly open the cartridge door on the
printer to visually check the ink levels in the cartridges – the transparent design makes it very easy to check
inks levels.
Every time you install a refilled cartridge or cartridges in the printer, it is advisable to perform a nozzle check
print on scrap paper to ensure that all the printer jets are firing. This is not normally necessary but it is a good
habit to get into in case some air has got into the print head during refilling. If you do need to perform any
head cleaning, we recommend using the manual clean and manual nozzle check functions in the driver
utilities, as opposed to the auto nozzle check function. We find the auto nozzle check does not work as well as
the manual functions, and just wastes ink!
The refillable cartridges will eventually wear out and need replacing. We have refilled cartridges dozens of
times without issue, and the useable life of the cartridge is dependent on how well the rubber seal on the ink
exit/filling hole holds up. There two ways of telling if a cartridge needs replacing.
