Instructions
1. Put the cartridge on some paper towels in an area where you can tolerate a spill.
2. Peal off the top label.
3. Fill the syringe with 7 ml. of color ink.
4. Very S-L-O-W-L-Y inject ink into each chamber until the
sponge full. A little ink might come out of the top when full, so cover up the other two
holes
while filling one.
5. When finished, replace the top label or leave it off (it will make no difference in the printing).
6. Replace the cartridge and run 1 - 3 cleaning cycles as
per printer instructions.

For best results, leave cartridge in printer for 8 hours after refilling so the ink can saturate the entire sponge.
Note: Some of the newer Lexmark cartridges have very small holes and the needle will not fit into it. In that case just use the thumb drill provided and drill the holes larger.
- Lexmark offers for sale two different versions of the same cartridge:
- The regular version (#23, #24, #28, #29, #41, #42) is not refillable. It is the "Return Program" or "Prebate" cartridge. Supposedly, when you buy this cartridge you agree to return the empty cartridge to Lexmark. In return, Lexmark gives you roughly $5 off the retail list price of the cartridge.
- The "A" version (#23A, #24A, #28A, #29A, #41A, #42A) can easily be refilled. However, the price of the cartridge is roughly $5 higher than the regular version, so most people unknowingly buy the regular version.
If you want to refill, you will need "A" version cartridges.
