1. Seal the outlet hole(s) in the base of the cartridge with tape. A separate piece over each hole is preferred.
2. Fill the syringe with 10 ml. of black ink or 5 ml. of color ink. Push needle through the label into the sponge of the correct filling hole. Very slowly inject ink into the sponge until the cartridge is full.
3. Seal the holes(s) made in the top label with the aluminum tape provided. If the holes are not sealed properly the cartridge will leak.
4. Unused ink can be returned to the bottle. Clean the syringe with warm water and dry for future use, or use with a different color ink.
5. Replace the cartridge leaving the aluminum tape on the outlet hole(s). (This is correct you need to leave the tape on the bottom of the cartridge. The tape will be punctured by the printheads. If you take the tape off you may have a big mess to clean up.)
6. Run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as per printer instructions. If necessary leave cartridge in printer for up to 3 hours. This allows the ink to flow to the bottom of the cartridge.
