How to Refill an Ink Cartridge
There are many ways to save money on printer ink, from conserving with draft quality settings to searching out the lowest prices online; but the largest savings possible come from refilling used ink cartridges. However, refilling your own ink cartridges can be intimidating.
For this reason, our website features an instructional video on the product page of each refill kit. These videos will give you the specific, step-by-step guidance that you need to make your refill as safe and successful as it can be.
Refill Kits by Brand
The general instructions for refilling an ink cartridge are the same for most brands and styles.
- First, a refill kit is purchased with the necessary tools and supplies for the refill. This includes ink, something to pierce the ink chamber with, an injection tool for adding new ink, a plug or clip to keep ink from spilling out, gloves, and instructions.
- The work area should be covered with something that you won’t mind getting ink on and gloves should be worn.
- Next, the cartridge is punctured to allow new ink inside
- Then, an injection tool (usually a syringe) is used to slowly deposit compatible ink into the empty cartridge
- Finally, the cartridge is re-sealed with the provided material
