compaq ink refill instructions

1. The filler holes of the cartridge are located under the top.  Remove the top before refilling.
    You may use either of two methods:
  1. Gently clamp the cartridge bottom in a vise or similar device. Grab the top with a large wrench or set of pliers and crack off the top. This will likely break some plastic, but this is generally cosmetic damage.
  2. Lay the cartridge on a solid surface and put the edge of a sharp knife at the intersection of the black and colored plastic. Hit it sharply with a hammer. Then pull off the top.

Important: Be very careful not to damage the sensors on the back of the cartridge.

2. Insert the filling needle into the filler hole of the color to be refilled, (see diagram above) and push downwards all the way into the cartridge. Note: The cartridge contains sponge and a slight resistance may be felt.

3. ) Inject the ink very S-L-O-W-L-Y and watch until the sponge is saturated. (Some colors will not be empty, so don't expect the sponge to absorb the entire amount. Inject up to 6cc. of ink until the sponge is saturated.

Important: The original color of the sponge is white. In order to avoid overfilling the cartridge do not change the color of the sponge to the color you are filling.  When the ink just begins to surface where the needle is inserted, stop filling, the cartridge is full.

4. After refilling the top can be refitted and fixed with adhesive tape.

5. Replace the cartridge and run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as per printer instructions.
Or print the following pages:

For best results, leave cartridge in printer for 8 hours after refilling so the ink can saturate the entire sponge. (Allows ink to flow to the print head).
