Black & Color Cartridges
1. The filling hole is the same hole as the access port. The printer draws the ink from this port. Shown in the picture below is the location of the filling hole / access port in the front of the cartridge.

2. Note: The ink is contained in a delicate mylar bag and it is very important not to insert the needle more than 5/8" or it is possible to puncture the mylar bag permanently damaging it. Fill the syringe with the correct color ink and carefully insert the needle into the filling hole / access port and slowly inject approximately 25 ml. of ink into the cartridge. Unused ink may be returned to the bottle.
3. Hold the cartridge upright with the filling hole on the top. Use the syringe to remove any trapped air in the cartridge by only inserting the needle 5/8" and withdraw any air in the cartridge until all air is removed.
4. Remove the syringe and rinse with water and dry for future use, or to use with a different color ink.
5. Reinsert the cartridge and run a priming cycle as per printer instructions.
Note: Immediately refill any empty cartridges.
NOTE: It is not necessary to disassemble the cartridge to refill it and we strongly recommend you do not. We have included a picture of the inside of the cartridge to satisfy your curiosity.
