Inkjet cartridge refill - tips and hints

Avoid letting your inkjet cartridge dry out. Once it has dried out it is almost impossible to get it back to the state that you bought it. Most ink cartridges contain a sponge and when empty the sponge becomes hard and difficult to remoisten if left for too long. For best results you should refill the cartridge before it becomes empty.

Refill ink for your inkjet cartridge is generally purchased in kit form. Depending on the brand, in the kit you should find a set of instructions specific to your printer model. Your kit will also include a bottle and a syringe for inserting the ink and of course the ink.

Refilling an inkjet cartridge can be messy. Ensure that you use gloves as ink can be stubborn to remove. Refill the inkjet cartridge over newspaper or a sink to avoid staining any surfaces.

Ensure that when you are refilling a color inkjet cartridge that you insert the correct color ink into the correct chamber. To check you can insert a pin into the chamber and check the color that appears on the pin.

Refilling your inkjet cartridge may seem difficult at first but once you get the hang of it, it will become an easy process. It will not only save you money but also save the environment.
