Then work the drill in a circular motion to make the hole bigger. If it passes through cleanly, the hole is big enough. If you find it easier you can also use a power drill to make the hole. Be sure to use a thin drill bit, no larger than the circle on the cartridge, and stop drilling once you break the surface of the plastic.
If you're working on a multicolor cartridge, poke through each of the 3 circles. Poke a needle into each hole to confirm the color for multicolor cartridges. Take a long needle that will reach the bottom of the cartridge chamber. Insert it through the hole until it touches the bottom and rub it around.
Then pull it back out and see which color ink should be in that cartridge. Part 3. Fill the syringe with the correct ink. Dip the tip of the syringe into the correct ink bottle. If your syringe has a pump, squeeze that to fill the chamber. If it has a plunger attachment, pull on this to fill the syringe.
Check the manual for your cartridge size, and fill the syringe with that volume of ink. Inject the ink through the hole in the cartridge. Insert the syringe into the cartridge and slowly fill it with ink. Do not squirt the ink out quickly or the cartridge could overflow. Stop filling if ink begins welling up through the hole.
Wipe off the cartridge. Use a rag or paper towel and make sure there is no ink left on the cartridge. Also use a paper towel with some rubbing alcohol to wipe off the sensor on each cartridge. If any ink is on the sensor, the printer may not read it. Put tape over the hole you drilled and poke a hole through it. Cover the entire top of the cartridge to prevent ink leaks.
Then take a needle or toothpick and poke a small hole through the tape over the hole you drilled. This provides a vent for the cartridge. Scotch or electrical tape works well. Duct tape would be too sticky. Insert the ink cartridges back into the printer. Take each cartridge and reinsert it into the slot you removed it from.
Depending on your printer type, you may have to press down until you hear a click. This lets you know the cartridge is in place. Run a test print. Check your work by making sure your printer works after replacing the cartridges. You can print anything, but a specialized test page will check all the colors on one page.

Yes No. Not Helpful 11 Helpful What do I do if my cartridge is a combined three color type and I know where the holes are, but not which color is which? You can try pushing a small needle in and out, then wiping it on a tissue paper to check the ink color. I did this with my cartridge which has the same setup. Not Helpful 5 Helpful Follow the instructions as explained in this article. Refilling ink cartridges is not for everyone, you must have a little bit of common sense to be successful.
Some people are safer just buying new cartridges. Not Helpful 4 Helpful There are two types of ink: pigment based and dye based. Canon uses both kinds across its range of printers, so the best thing to do would be to search on the internet with your cartridge number and see what kind of ink it uses. Once you figure out if it's pigment or dye ink, any brand of the correct kind of ink will work just fine. Over time, the ink nozzles of the cartridge will dry up. You can unclog the print head using the printer's own cleaning program, as well as using other methods like soaking the print head in warm water, or alcohol.
However, at a certain point in the life of the cartridge some of the nozzles will clog up for good, reducing the quality of your prints. As long as you are not using your printer for high quality applications, this should not be an issue. Not Helpful 1 Helpful 7.
