If you have ever purchased an OEM printer cartridge then you know that the cost can be quite considerable. The price of an ink cartridge can be as much as the printer itself.

Using a refill kit is easy and most printer cartridges can be refilled. Ensure that you buy a refill kit specifically suited to your brand and model of printer. Universal kits, which claim to suit all brands of printer, are available, but our advice is to avoid these wherever possible. You should always use printer ink that has been designed specifically for your make and model of printer. Anything else may damage your printer.

Most refill kits include a bottle of printer ink and a syringe to insert the ink into the printer cartridge. Instructions are always provided but after you have done it once you probably won’t need to refer to them again.

Although refilling a printer cartridge is easy there are a few hints that will help to make the process easier. When injecting the ink into the printer cartridge do it slowly to prevent bubbles forming within the cartridge. Once filled, tap the cartridge a few times to release any bubbles that may have formed. Also, ensure that you don’t wait until the cartridge is completely empty before filling it as you will have fewer problems if the cartridge still contains about a quarter of printer ink
