Instructions
Step 1
Wash the straws with soap and warm water inside and out. After that, they must be left for a short time on the battery so that they dry out, and the condensate completely evaporates from the inside.
Step 2
Flush the cartridges. It doesn't matter if the ink is dry or the cartridge is new, you still need to run water through it. To do this, put on gloves and fill it with water using a syringe. If there is a branded cartridge, then additionally open the valve located in the nozzle. Rinse until the escaping liquid begins to lose its color.
Step 3
Place newspapers on a table to avoid staining it, and disassemble the cartridges. Clean the inside thoroughly by removing and rinsing the foam pads. Disassembly is the removal of the top cover, not disassembly to a screw. It must be removed very carefully so that the mounts remain intact. After flushing and disassembling, dry all parts of the cartridge.
Step 4
Insert the tubes into the cartridge filling holes, which are located approximately in the middle of the top cap. If the tube is too big and won't fit, take a Phillips screwdriver and carefully poke a thicker hole. You need to stop when the tube is difficult, but begins to crawl into the hole. Do this for each color.
Step 5
Insert the tubes about 4-6 mm and glue them to the body for maximum tightness.
Step 6
Collect the cartridge. To do this, insert the foam rubber into place and glue the lid with the tubes. If the cartridge is color, glue it to seal each individual ink compartment as much as possible.
Step 7
Go to the printer and remove the hold-down bracket from the carriage and reinstall the cartridge in place, securing it with a cable tie.
Step 8
Supply ink to the cartridge and fill the hose. Use a syringe to do this. Take ink into it and fill it into the tube, first raise it above the printer. Close the hole in the tube as soon as ink enters the cartridge.
Step 9
Dip the ends of the tubes into matching paint cans. Pre-make another hole in each jar for air.
