How to Refill Your Inkjet Printer's Ink Cartridges?

• Inkjet printer replacement cartridges are obnoxiously overpriced and sometimes a hassle to acquire, especially for older printers. The good news is you can refill them yourself at a fraction of the cost. Here's how...

Get an ink refill kit appropriate for your printer

• If your printer is not color, this task is very easy. Walmart and other such stores sell black ink replacements in a very nice kit - see picture attached to this step
• If your printer is color, it's likely it has a black ink cartridge as well as one for cyan, magenta and yellow. If your local store doesn't carry these (as mine didn't), you can pick the kit displayed in the picture dirt cheap on ebay
• Many color printers have an extra large black cartridge (or sometimes more than one) along with smaller color ones. In this case, it's handy to purchase the black ink locally and get the others online. This was the option that made the most sense for us
• Keep the replacement ink on hand so you can react quickly when your printer runs out of one

Prepare your work area by laying out old newspaper

• No matter how careful you are and no matter how many times you've done this, some ink will find its way onto your work area. Lay down a newspaper over your work area
• Keep a few spare tissues nearby to quickly clean any ink that gets on your hands or on the outside of the cartridges
• Although not required, I typically put a latex glove on my left hand since it comes in the most contact with the ink

Gain access to your ink cartridges

• You may have to refer to your printer's manual to see how to do this. On my Cannon printer, I only have to lift the cover and the printer moves the cartridges to an accessible location, as shown here
• If you no longer have your manual, it's common that these manuals can be found online somewhere. One way or another, experiment until you gain access to your cartridges

Remove the cartridges

• Carefully remove each cartridge and place it onto your newspaper. Your printer's manual should give details on exactly how to remove these. Typically this is a pretty straight forward process

Insert the bottom refill plug

• As shown in the picture, there will be a plug in your refill kit that should fit into the ink cartridge's dispensing hole
• Press firmly until it slips into the hole - this will prevent your ink from running out as you're refilling the cartridge

Create the refill hole, if necessary

• You will only have to do this the first time. Typically there will a spot for refilling on your cartridge which will have some sort of obstruction in it. Use the little tool shown in the picture to first screw into and then pull out whatever is in this hole
• This step can be a bit of a hassle but thankfully you only have to do it once
• In the picture shown here, the tool is shown on the left. In this case, the obstruction did not need to be removed since this was done years ago
• Remove refill plug, if not doing this for the first time:
• Carefully pry up on the plug until it pulls out. Place to the side

Refill the ink

• As shown in the picture, carefully insert the end of the refill tube into the cartridge and squeeze until it fills up

Replace refill plug

• Re-insert the refill plug removed earlier, pressing firmly until it sets back into its original position
• Most refill kits include these plugs if you're doing this for the first time
• It's very important that you get this plug in all the way as failure to do so will create some wasted ink (and a mess) in the next step.

Put cartridges back into your printer

• After ensuring you've securely replaced the refill plug in the previous step, remove the larger plug (used in step 5) and re-insert the cartridge into your printer
• Repeat for each of your cartridges...
