1. The filling holes are located under the plastic cap. Use a thin flathead screw
driver or knife to remove the cap. Important: Do not to damage the sensors on
the back of the cartridge.
2. Connect the needle to the syringe and fill with ink.
3. Insert the needle into the matching hole of the color to be refilled, (see diagram
above) and push into the cartridge. Note: You will feel a slight pressure because
the cartridge contains a sponge.

4. Inject about 8 ml. of ink, per color, into the cartridge until the ink
begins to bubble at the top of the sponge. Important: Do not overfill.
Keep the sponge inside the cartridge white.
5. Rinse the needle and syringe with water and dry between each color
refilling or store for future use.

1. The filling hole is the same hole as the hole that connects to the printer.
2. Note: The cartridge is lined in a delicate Mylar bag and it is very important not
to insert the needle more than 3/4” or it is possible to pierce or tear the Mylar
bag. Fill the syringe with the correct color ink and carefully insert the needle
into the filling hole and slowly inject approximately 90 ml. of ink into the
cartridge.
3. Hold the cartridge upright with the filling hole at the top. Using the syringe,
remove any trapped air in the cartridge by only inserting the tip of the needle
and pulling up on the plunger 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.

1. Peel back the label from the top of the cartridge to expose the refill
holes of the cartridge. (If the illustration on the right differ from
your cartridge model, use 3 toothpicks and poke each hole to determine
its color)
2. Fill the syringe with 15 ml of black ink (5 ml for each color on
color cartridges).
3. Insert the needle into the cartridge (corresponding with the correct
color ink) and fill. If to much ink is inserted, pull back on the
syringe handle to pull 1 ml out.
IMPORTANT: When refilling, only puncture the top of the sponge
in the cartridge, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Puncturing to the bottom
may cause leakage in the cartridge.
4. The cartridge will function better keeping the label off the top of
the cartridge, allowing air to enter the cartridge from the top and
thereby allowing ink to flow better through the cartridge. Keep the
top of the cartridge exposed to air (do not put tape over the holes).
Make sure to keep the cartridges up right when transporting them
back to the printer
5. Rinse the syringe with water and dry between each color refill or
store for future use.
6. Reinstall the cartridge and run 1 - 3 test pages as per printer instructions.
If necessary leave the cartridge in printer for up to 24
hours to allow ink to flow to the print head.
NOTE: Cartridges that are not refilled right away may and can dry
with time. For the best results, refill right after the cartridges are depleted
NOTE: If your cartridge is part of Lexmark’s recycle
program, then the refilling holes might not be
viewable. In this case you can drill a hole in the
same area’s indicated above to refill the cartridge

LEXMARK 100A

Items needed: gloves, hand-drill, cartridges, paper towels.
Note: You will need the Lexmark 100A version.
Lexmark offers for sale two different versions of the same cartridge: The regular version
(#100) is not refillable. It is the “Return Program” or “Rebate” cartridge. Supposedly,
when you buy this cartridge you agree to return the empty cartridge to Lexmark. In
return, Lexmark gives you roughly $5 off the retail list price of the cartridge. The “A”
version (#100A) can easily be refilled. However, the price of the cartridge is roughly $5
higher than the regular version, so most people unknowingly buy the regular version. If
you want to refill, you will need “A” version cartridges.
1. Put the cartridge on some paper towels in an area where you can tolerate a spill.
2. Fill the syringe with 12 ml. of black ink or 5 ml of Color Ink .
3. Pierce with the needle into the label where black meets white. (You can rub your
finger over the label and feel the hole underneath.) See illustration.
4. Push the needle at least half way down into the sponge and Very SLOWLY inject ink
into the sponge.
5. When finished, leave the pierced hole open (this will just be a vent hole).
6. Replace the cartridge and run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as per printer instructions.
Or print the following pages:
For best results, leave cartridge in printer for 8 hours after refilling so the ink can saturate
the entire sponge.

Hi, Good post on regarding refilling using the syringe but we are printer ink dealers in chennai and we know that refilling can cause damage to the printers. So we always suggest on purchasing genuine and new ink.
