How Do You Refill A Canon Ink Cartridge?
Canon ink cartridges are different than those used in most other manufacturers’ printers. You fill a Canon cartridge with a syringe bottle, as you would most others. But finding the filler hole to the chamber, or where you have to create a hole, varies greatly depending on what type of cartridge you have. Check the label for the type of cartridge your Canon printer uses before you try to refill it with ink. Locate the filling hole on the cartridge and push in the sealing ball bearing with a pen or similar pointed object. Older cartridges have this hole on the bottom; newer ones, on the top. The newest cartridges, however, have no hole, so drill a 1/8-inch hole near the right-hand edge of the cartridge bottom. Fill the syringe bottle with 5ml of ink of the right color. Each cartridge contains only one color; the label will note which one. Inject the ink into the cartridge. Seal the cartridge with a small plastic plug. Most refill kits should have the exact type of plug that will work. U
