1. Put a piece of tape over (Aerator “B”) on the bottom of the cartridge. This aerator mustbe sealed tightly to prevent leaking. - See diagram.
2. Aerator “C” is located in the center of the top of cartridge. DO NOT STICK THE
NEEDLE IN THIS HOLE.
3. If you have a cartridge that has a ball bearing in the top corner of the cartridge then
simply push in the ball bearing with a pointed object such as a screwdriver.
4. If you have a cartridge that does not have this ball bearing; a hole must be made in the
top corner of the cartridge- see diagram. Use the hole making tool included in the kit
or an exacto knife or a drill bit to make this hole. This hole must be made perfectly
round.
5. Remove the Hole Making Tool from its packaging then remove the cover from the tool
to expose the blade. CAREFUL! Blade is sharp. Firmly hold the handle of the tool and
begin twisting the tool into the top corner of the cartridge. Continue twisting until it
pierces the plastic cover. Once the plastic to is pierced, making the rest of the hole will
go very quickly.
IMPORTANT: Do not make a hole as big as the tool itself. The plug provided must
fit tightly in order for a perfect air tight seal.
6. Connect the needle to the syringe and pull back on the plunger to fill with cartridge
and printhead cleaner. Inject approximately 2 ml of cleaner. It is not necessary to seal
the cartridge. Let the cartridge sit for about 2 minutes. To remove the cleaner, turn the
cartridge over and let it drain out of the filling hole.
7. Now turn the cartridge upright on a paper towel and fill with 20 ml. of ink through the
filling hole on the top corner of the cartridge.
8. Squeeze the sides of the cartridge while sealing the hole with the plug included. Optional:
To insure that it is sealed airtight, cover the plug with a piece of electrical
tape.
9. Rinse the syringe with water and dry for future use.
10. Now remove the tape over (Aerator “B”).
11. If the cartridge continues to drip ink, Insert ONLY the tip (no more than
1/8 inch) of the needle into (Aerator “C”), hold the cartridge over a sink or
paper towels. Pull back on the plunger of the EMPTY syringe to 2 ml and
push down on the plunger to pump 2 ml of air into cartridge. Important: Do
NOT insert the needle more than 1/8 inch into aerator C as you will damage
the cartridge.
12. Ink will now drip from the nozzles. Blot the nozzles with the tissue until ink
stops dripping.
13. Reinsert cartridge into printer and run several test cycles until print quality
is restored.
Note: Allow the cartridge to sit outside the printer overnight to restore print
quality. Note: Immediately refill any empty cartridges.

1. The plastic cover must be remove to reveal the filling holes. Carefully pry it off
with a thin metal blade, such as a thin flathead screwdriver. Or lay the cartridge
on its side with the plastic cap off the edge of a table holding it firmly
then break the seal by striking it with a blunt object. Important: Make certain
that the sensors on the back of the cartridge do not get damaged.
2. Connect the needle to the syringe and fill with the correct color of ink.
3. Insert the needle into the hole of the color to be refilled, (see diagram above)
and push directly down into the cartridge. Note: You may feel a slight pressure
due to the sponge inside the cartridge.
4. Slowly inject approximately 7 ml. of ink, per color, into the cartridge. Stop
when the ink begins to surface. Important: The sponge inside is white. And
in order to prevent overfilling the chamber, the color of the sponge must
remain white. As soon as the ink starts to bubble near the needle then stop
injecting, the cartridge is full.
5. Rinse the syringe and needle with water and dry between each color refilling or
store for future use.
6. The cover can be reconnected with a piece of adhesive tape.
Note: Immediately refill any cartridge that has become empty.

1. Turn the cartridge upside down and using a peel back the plastic film covering
the stainless steel ball bearing as shown below.
2. Using a screwdriver push the ball bearing into the cartridge.
3. Connect the needle to the syringe and fill with the correct color ink. Important:
Do NOT insert the needle more than 1 inch into the cartridge as you may
purchase the bag inside the cartridge.
4. Inject 20 ml. of ink into the hole.
5. Squeeze the sides of cartridge while sealing the filling hole with the included
plug, make sure that the plug is seated flush against the cartridge.
6. Allow cartridge to sit with the print head down for at least 2 minutes to draw
out any excess ink and equalize the pressure in the cartridge. Important: Do
not leave the cartridge resting on a paper towel. This will cause your cartridge
to slowly empty itself..
7. Rinse the syringe with warm water and dry between each color refill or store
for future use.
8. Reinsert the cartridge and run a priming cycle as per printer instructions.
Note: Immediately refill any empty cartridges.

button on the printer in for 5 seconds (This procedure may not work for all
printer models)
Note: This cartridge has a chip that knows its manufacturer date. It
lets the cartridge operate and be refilled for two years then it will stop
working. If the cartridge sat on a shelf for 6 months before you bought
it, you only have 18 months to use it and refill it as much as you want

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. For high capacity cartridges (designated with the suffix “XL” such as the
HP 60xl) fill the syringe with 15 ml of black ink or 5 ml for each color
on color cartridges. For standard capacity cartridges (such as the regular
HP 60), fill the syringe with 7.5 ml of black ink or 3.5 ml for each
color on the color cartridges. It is always best to under fill rather than
overfill a cartridge.
3. Be careful to inject the ink slowly, and if you notice that the cartridge
is getting full, don’t overfill it. Some cartridges may hold less ink than
others due to factors such as the wear and tear on the internal sponge
and the capacity of the cartridge itself.
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. Stick the label back in place, if the label has been destroyed, use duct
tape or electrical tape. (Try keeping the label size when using tape)
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.
HP 701
1. Peel back the label from the top of the cartridge to expose the vent hole of
the cartridge.
2. Fill the syringe with 15 ml of black ink (5 ml for each color on color cartridges).
3. If the vent hole is to small, use the provided drill to increase the width. Be
sure to only drill through the plastic and not the sponge. Then insert the
needle into the cartridge and fill slowly. 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. Stick the label back in place, if the label has been destroyed, use duct tape or
electrical tape (Tape is optional).
5. Rinse the syringe with water and prepare it for storage.
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.
HP 564 and 920
1. Use electrical or duct tape to seal the Air Vent found on the top of the cartridge.
Note: Make sure tape is completely covering the vent.
2. Remove the label partially, only to expose the ball bearing underneath. Then use a screwdriver
or an L tool to push the ball bearing into the cartridge. This will give access to the
filling hole.
3. Connect the needle to the syringe and fill with ink.
4. Use your finger as a plug by covering the outlet port. Keep your finger on the outlet port
until you have finished refilling and the refill hole is plugged. If you let go any time earlier,
ink may and can spill out of that outlet.
5. Inject about 10 ml. of ink into the filling hole or until the ink chamber is full. Be sure to
leave enough room in the ink chamber for the silicon plug, it will create pressure when
inserted.
6. Put a silicone plug in the refill hole to seal it, make sure it is air tight. If extra silicone from
the plug is sticking out, you may trim it down to a practical size. Be sure to leave enough
to make it easy for you to remove the next time you wish to refill the cartridge.
7. Remove your finger from the outlet (small drops may leak out, but once the cartridge pressure
stabilizes itself, it will stop) and remove the tape from earlier off the vent.
8. Rinse the syringe with water and dry for future use, or use with a different color ink.
9. Reinsert the cartridge and run a priming cycle as per printer instructions.
Note: If the cartridge continuously leaks, place the cartridge on its side until the dripping
stops. Also, check the seal on the cartridge to make sure it is airtight.
Method 2. If you feel that the first method of refilling is not something you’d like to try, you can place ink into the cartridge via the nozzle. By turning the
cartridge over so that the nozzle (Outlet Port) points up, you can slowly drip ink into the nozzle. This procedure may take long and no ink will go into the ink
chamber, but the sponge will retain some ink for you to use and continue the use of your cartridge. You may usually use about 3-4 ml of ink at a time in the
sponge.
C1806A, C1807A, C1808A, C1809A
1. Remove the Mylar ink bag from the cardboard covering. Note: (This Mylar
ink bag is very delicate and must be handled with care).
2. Use both hands when holding the top of the Mylar bag and use both thumbs
to pry the hose cap off of the connector. (Pop off the connector the same way
you would pop off the cap of an aspirin bottle. Be very careful not to damage
the connector.) Make certain not to misplace or damage the O-ring. It must be
in the same position shown below before the hose cap assembly can be reinstalled.
3. Connect the needle to the syringe and fill with ink.
4. Hold the bag upright and inject up to 60 ml of ink or until 3/4 full. Do not
fill completely because you need room to install the hose cap assembly. Note:
(After filling do not squeeze the Mylar bag as this will cause ink to squirt out
of the connector.
5. Hold the top of the Mylar bag and using both thumbs reinstall the hose cap
assembly. You can grasp the block at the base where the assembly is installed
into the Mylar bag. Make sure the hose cap assembly is firmly attached to the
connector. You will feel two clicks when reinstalling the hose cap assembly.
6. Put the Mylar bag back into the cardboard covering and install into machine.
7. Rinse the syringe and needle with water between each color refilling and dry
for future use.
Note: Empty cartridges should be refilled immediately.

the cartridge top as shown below right. Do the procedure that is easier for you.
Use the hole making tool included in the kit, drill each filling hole on the top
of the cartridge wide enough to fit the needle as shown below left. Or use a flathead
screwdriver to pry off the top.
2. Connect the needle to the syringe and fill with the ink. Note: All 3 filing holes
must be refilled in the black cartridge.
3. Insert the syringe through the filling hole and push all the way into the cartridge.
Note: You may feel a slight pressure because the cartridge contains a
sponge.
4. Slowly inject up to 6 ml. of ink, per chamber, then seal the filling holes using a
piece of tape.
