Answer 1

Look at the bottom, there should be a little plastic cover with a hole in it.. Use some electrical tape to cover that hole.

Drill a small hole in the front left or right corner of the top cartridge, being careful not to touch the plastic bags inside.
(if you drill a hole in the middle you will rupture the plastic bags and you will have a cartridge that will not stop leaking) Especially avoid that little white vent, I know it is tempting to want to fill there.

Inject 40 ML of ink.

Seal hole with hot glue. MAKE sure you have a tight seal or you will have a mess on your hands.

Remove the electrical tape from the bottom cover. It is covering a little hole called a maze hole.

This is the tricky part, you will want to use a blunt syringe (no Needle) to remove 2-5 ml of ink from the bottom of the cartridge. This will re-pressurize the cartridge and prevent it from leaking.

Turn the cartridge right side up, make sure no ink is leaking from the bottom. If so remove a couple more ML of ink from the bottom.

When you finally have the right pressure the cartridge will not leak. It is then safe to re-install.

Run a couple print head cleaning then you are ready to start printing again.

Ur Hp cartridge has one hole at the top of it below the label of Hp cartridge no.Slightly remove that cover then u will find that small hole is there for refilling of ink.My personal advise for u is that don't fill cartridge urself.Fill cartridge with knowledge of a person who allready done that.Since if ur cartridge leack when u put that in printer then it can damage ur printer.Fill the ink in some limit.Do not fill over limit.

Not familar with your printer or printer ink cartilage, but most ink cartilages has a small circular groove at the top of the cartiage. The refill kit should have came with a small drill bit that you will use with your hands to make a hole.

If there is no circular groove, then at the top center of the cartilage, use the plastic drill bit and make a hole there. You just need a hole to get the ink down into the sponge. Don't drill too deep or you will have a ink cartilage that won't stop leaking.

Answer 4

Your refill should have come with a little drill and instructions on where to put the hole in the cartridge.

Here are some instructions on how to fill the cartridge:

They may not help if your kit is different, but maybe they will give you a general idea of what you are supposed to do. There are pictures in the instructions so maybe that will help.
