Re: Nobie advice on refilling cartriges

2008-03-09 by Roger

I would ask Inksupply.com tech support for help.

What do you need?  You need the 10cc syringes and needles- one for 
each shade of ink.  They are reusable- just be sure there's no air in 
them before sucking from the bottles and filling the cartridge.

The bottom fill adapter is useful to suck ink out of the bottom after 
you fill to get good nozzle checks.  I have one and rinse it out.  
You fill the cartridges through the top by taking out the plug.

You need a chip resetter unless you have auto reset chips.
