What should be taken note of before refilling?
The instructions are simple to follow so long as you read them carefully. Many problems are overcome by reference to these instructions. Sponge If the cartridge inside contains a sponge, you have to push the needle to the end, then pull back 3mm and refill SLOWLY. This reduces the amount of air trapped in the cartridge while refilling while preventing the refilling needle from being blocked by the sponge. You need to fill slowly because the sponge needs time to absorb the ink. If you refill too quickly, the sponge cannot absorb the ink and ink will leak from the printhead or overflow from the filling hole. Reservoir After refilling a cartridge without a sponge, the pressure equilibrium inside the cartridge has changed and needs to be equalized. Follow the instruction sheet carefully.
