Here we show some of HP's little cartridges. They are haft the size they use to be. Some of these cartridges only hold 4 or 5 mls of ink.

They all use the same refilling method. Under the label of the cartridges there are holes that you will refill the cartridge through.

All cartridges are dated and some printers will not let you use the cartridge if it is out of date. You will need to look very closely at the cartridge to find the date.

You can see from the photo we cut open a color and black cartridge. The biggest rip-off is the color cartridge because if you run out of one color then you must buy a new cartridge. HP use to state how many mls of ink there where in the cartridges, but they no longer do.

Their new # 60 color and black cartridge have a false bottom and holds even less ink. If you own a printer that uses anyone of these cartridges then you need to learn how to refill them. If not, you better take out a loan at the bank.

Our Snap & Vac tool is supplied with our refill kit. This amazing tool can prime the color or black cartridge after refill. This is very important should you run the cartridge out of ink.

Insert the tip of the syringe into the bottom of the snap & vac. Now pull back slowly and you will feel a small amount of resistance. You should see some ink being drawn into the syringe. Draw the plunger to about 8 to 10 cc mark and hold it there for about 15 to 20 seconds. Slowly let the plunger return.
 

 Install the Black or Color Cartridge on to the refill clip.

We include with our refill kit a new refill clip. They are great to store the cartridge (s) until you are ready to use them. Our clips stop ink from leaking out while you are refilling. Now there is no need to get ink on your hands.

Press the print head down into the black sponge and then push forward to snap the cartridge in.
Under the top label there are filling holds.
Using a tooth pick push it into any hole and then pull it out to see what color the chamber is. It does not matter on the black cartridge.


 

For very stubborn clogs or old cartridges we have supplied a soaking tray. Fill the tray with the printhead cleaner and let the cartridge sit for about one hour. Then clean the printhead with a paper towel. Use the Snap & Vac to draw out the ink.
 

 Never put a dripping over filled cartridge in the printer. If the printhead on a cartridge is leaking ink then it will not print. Over filling of the cartridges can cause poor print quality.
