Nothing can blow holes in the household budget faster then running out of ink in the computer's printer. The staggeringly high price of each cartridge can make you seriously consider breaking open a bunch of Bic ballpoints and pouring the contents of each pen into the cartridges plastic casing. The things might as well be filled with liquid gold. It is especially irksome when you get to the store and discover that you can buy a printer for less money then you will spend on the ink cartridge, a printer that normally comes with a color cartridge and a black cartridge.
Before you spend the week’s grocery money on a new Epson Inkjet cartridge stop and think about getting a printer cartridge refill kit instead. By following simple Epson ink refill instructions you can save a lot of money. You can normally find the refill kits hung on the stores end caps, kept just a little separate from the brightly packaged print cartridges. These handy kits come complete with ink to inject into the empty cartridge (this ink might be black, or if you’ve selected a color kit a vial each of cyan, magenta, and yellow ink), needles for inserting the ink into the empty cartridge, a tool to bore a hole into the empty cartridge, and a plug to seal the hole when you are finished.
When you read the directions on the outside of the package the process sounds simple and straight foreword. However if you have never tried to replace the ink in one of your printers be prepared, the first few times you do this the process seems unnecessarily complicated, messy, and doesn’t always end with positive results.
Epson Ink Refill Instructions
By following these simple instruction refilling your Epson ink cartridge should be a pain free experience.
The first step is to read the direction carefully. While the ink refill kit is universal the method for filling the cartridges is not. Each company’s cartridge has it own set of instructions. Read the instructions for your particular inkjet cartridge over and over again. The better you understand the simple instructions the smoother the process will be.
Using the boring tool included in the kit drill a hole through the casing in the spot indicated on the directions. Be very careful that you don’t make the hole to large.
Attach the needle to the syringe. Be careful while handling the needle. Accidents can happen, even with a dulled needle.
Fill the syringe with the amount of ink indicated in the directions.
Carefully insert the tip of the needle into the hole you bore into the cartridge. Depress the syringe and fill the cartridge with ink.
When the cartridge is full fill the whole with the rubber plug that should have been included in the refill kit.
Gently swab some rubbing alcohol on the cartridge head to clear away any dried ink that might block the flow of the ink when the cartridge is used.
Clean up any spilled ink immediately so it doesn’t stain.
Install the print cartridge into your printer and you should be ready to print your documents.
A successfully refilled inkjet cartridge will only cost you about five dollars when all is said and done. That same cartridge might cost you as twenty to thirty dollars at a retailer and I have paid forty dollars for a brand new color inkjet cartridge at one retailer.
There are a few things you have to consider before you rush out to buy an inkjet refill kit. One; the old inkjet cartridge can not lay around you house empty for very long. If the sponges inside the cartridge dry the refill will fail. The second thing you have to consider is your brand of printer. Do you have an Epson printer? Before you can refill an Epson Inkjet Cartridge you must go online and buy a chip resetter. After you do that, following these Epson ink refill instructions will be the best thing you can do for your wallet and your printer!
