Introduction: Re-Fill Printer Cartridge

Everyone has an inkjet printer, and everyone hates buying ink, because it is so dang expensive!

With this instructable, you can save about $100 every year!
(not to mention saving the environment)

Step 1: The Tools/Supplies

A few tools are required..


Tools:
Drill
Small Drill Bit
Scissors
Syringe

Supplies:
Electrical/Duct tape
Ink Re-Fill kit
Empty Ink Cartridge
Paper Towels

(optional) gloves

Step 2: Drill

Flip the Inkjet cartridge on it's side and drill a small hole,
so that you can fill the cartridge with new ink.

I messed up on making the hole, you have to drill it close to the 'front' of the cartridge.

Step 3: Fill Er' Up

Now you need to fill the cartridge

Lay down a paper towel then,
Fill your syringe with 10ml ink and fill your cartridge.


Step 4: Seal the Deal

Cut a piece of tape 1 inch long and tape the hole shut.

Step 5: Test the Cartridge

Put the cartridge back in your printer

After your printer has stopped calibrating itself, you'll need to test your handiwork.


Print the attached file, if it comes out completely black, with no fading, you are good

if you have fading across the page, you need more ink.





Enjoy!
