Flip the Inkjet cartridge on it's side and drill a small hole,
so that you can fill the cartridge with new ink.

I messed up on making the hole, you have to drill it close to the 'front' of the cartridge.

Now you need to fill the cartridge

Lay down a paper towel then,
Fill your syringe with 10ml ink and fill your cartridge.


Seal the Deal

Cut a piece of tape 1 inch long and tape the hole shut.

Put the cartridge back in your printer

After your printer has stopped calibrating itself, you'll need to test your handiwork.


Print the attached file, if it comes out completely black, with no fading, you are good

if you have fading across the page, you need more ink.





Enjoy!
