Basically, all modern users of information technology work with peripheral devices. Scanners, faxes and printers have become part of our life and now it is difficult to imagine an office or study without this technology. Almost every printer owner has had difficulty refilling a cartridge with color or black ink. By following simple tips, you can easily independently, without the involvement of specialists, carry out this simple action.
It is necessary
Sharp needle, syringe, ink, paper towels, cleaning fluid (water can be used)
Instructions
Step 1
Printer cartridges from global manufacturers always have a different shape, but they rarely differ in structure. Each has an ink reservoir, refill port and nozzle ports.
Step 2
Locate the refill port on the cartridge. It can be easily identified by the sticker located on the flat side of the cartridge. Below there is a small hole for filling with paint. Peel off the sticker slowly. Remember that you do not need to completely tear it off, it is enough to peel off only a certain part in order to be able to use a syringe with a needle.
Step 3
Draw the required amount of paint into the syringe. It is recommended to use no more than 5 ml of liquid to avoid overfilling the cartridge. Insert the needle into the threading hole. Pierce the polyurethane layer that protects the ink from bleeding. Dispense the required amount of liquid from the syringe, then pull out the needle. Place the decal in place.
Step 4
Be sure to check the correctness of the cartridge refilling. To do this, it is enough to press it with the back side to a flat surface on which there are several napkins. If the action is successfully completed, you will see clear black lines that remain after pressing. If refilling was done with colored ink for cartridges, respectively, the trace will be colored.
Step 5
Provided that the print has appeared, feel free to use the cartridge in the printer for subsequent work. Do not despair if the paint mark is indistinct or smeared - this is not yet an indicator that it is damaged. You will most likely need to do the normal cleaning of the nozzle, which is sometimes clogged with dried ink. Wipe the outside of the print head with a damp cloth or cleaning fluid. If this does not help, it is recommended to leave the cartridge with the nozzle part in a small bath of water. After cleaning, check the cartridge again to make sure it is properly refilled.
