If your printer has run out of a cartridge, it is not at all necessary to buy a new one or pay money to the service center for refilling. Having the necessary knowledge, you can easily complete the simple procedure of refilling a cartridge for an HP printer on your own, having previously found out which printer model you have and what type of cartridge is installed in it. The instructions below are suitable for most HP inkjet printers.
Instructions
Step 1
Remove the cartridge from the printer, grab a computer cleaning cloth, and gently wipe the nozzle plate, the outer part of the printhead of the cartridge. Now take a clean cloth and place the cartridge on it with the print head down.
Step 2
Remove the sticker from the cartridge cap and prepare a fine refilling syringe filled with ink of the desired color. The color of the ink should match the color of the hole you are pouring it into. There are three holes in total - according to the number of three ink colors. Fill each color in turn by inserting the needle into the hole.
Step 3
Refill the cartridge with ink until you see an excess of ink in the fill port. After that, the syringe must be taken out, the needle must be thoroughly rinsed and dried, then another ink must be collected and the tank filled with the next color.
Step 4
Make sure that the ink does not mix in the cartridge - wipe and rinse the syringe, wipe the excess ink on the cartridge itself.
Step 5
After finishing filling all the holes with the desired colors, seal them tightly with a sticker or tape. Then take a thin needle and stick the tape over each hole.
Step 6
Check for ink on the nozzle plate and print head. Clean the remaining ink with a tissue, make sure the cartridge is clean and ready to use.
Step 7
Insert the cartridge into the printer, turn it on and check that it prints correctly.
