1.Peel the label back on the top of the cartridge, as shown above and make a  3 mm ( 1/8" ) hole in the top of  the  cartridge.  Make the hole on  the  reservoir  side  which  is  the  side  opposite  the sponge.

2. Assemble the syringe and filling needle and fill with the correct colour   ink. 

3. Slowly inject up to 5 ml. of  ink  into  the  filling  hole  until  the chamber is almost full. Unused ink may be returned to the bottle. 

4. Seal the filling hole with the plug  provided,  ensuring  that  the plug   is   fully   seated   into   the   cartridge.

Additional Note:   In some cases when the  cartridge is  old  the sponge cannot hold the ink and the  ink  will  leak  out  the  outlet hole.   This  is  caused  by  deterioration  in  the  sponge.   If  this happens an alternate method of refilling is to drip  ink  on  to  the sponge until saturated.  ( Your total page output will be less than a complete  fill ).

5. Clean the syringe  with water and dry  for  future  use,  or  use with  a   different   colour   ink. 

6. Replace the cartridge and run a priming  cycle  as  per  printer instructions.
