How to Fill the Ink Cartridge?

Ink cartridges refer to the parts used in inkjet printers to store printing ink and finally complete printing. In the old days, it refers to the writing utensils used by people to hold ink. The ink cartridge has a very important position for the entire inkjet printer.

Refilling ink is one of the ways to extend the life of ink cartridges.

The refilling method of the black and white ink cartridge is as follows. When the black ink cleaning lamp of the printer is on, take out the black ink cartridge and suck 7ml-8ml of ink with a disposable syringe. Raise the ink outlet under the ink cartridge and tilt it to 45 degrees to prevent ink from flowing out of the balance hole on the upper part of the ink cartridge when the ink is almost full. Just inject the ink in the disposable syringe into the ink outlet. Pay attention to the front fast and the slow back. Wipe up the ink near the ink outlet with paper, and put it in the printer immediately. Finally, after one or two cleanings, you can use it.

The ink filling method of the color ink cartridge is as follows. If you want to add color ink, the operating procedure is similar to the above, but it is just more cumbersome in comparison. Because you have to use three disposable syringes for three operations, and the amount of ink injected may be different. (When the color ink cleaning lamp is on, it is not that all the three-color ink cartridges are used up. The ink volume is about 5ml.)

The ink filling method of the printer cartridge is as follows. There are two common types of ink cartridges with nozzles. The ink filling holes (that is, the vent holes) are on the side and on the top. The ink filling hole is used for adding ink during production. There is a small hole on the sealing plug as a vent hole, which is used to maintain the internal and external pressure balance. The structure and ink filling method of the two types of ink cartridges are basically the same.

Refilling the ink cartridge is a very simple process. The process of refillable ink cartridge is divided into different steps.

Steps to Fill the Ink Cartridge

First, you buy a high-quality ink kit for the printer from a retail store. These kits are high quality, expensive and effective. After that, please collect the kit, paper towels and tape before starting the operation.

A needle or sharp pencil is used to properly pierce the perforation. Then you refill the ink. Finally you connect the ink cartridge to the ink cartridge part of the printer.
