Looks as if your Dell has 'Lexmark' cartridges. Here is a link to instructions for Lexmark

My personal experience with printer carts & ink First, define your printer with reference to Continuous Ink Supply kits... Link...

then, get your printer and contunuous ink supply kit.
Financially, incredible. Quoting from my Epson experience, Cartridges (13ml ink) £7:00 each
Refil ink, 600ml £20:00 = 46 cartridges = £320
Got my continuous ink supply on E-Bay, cost £40:00 including 600ml ink.
By the time I used the ink, I'd saved enough to buy my printer twice over, and no more refilling carts, just squirt more ink in the bottle next to the printer. Pls contact if you need more info.

Most dell cartridges do not need to be opened, as there are holes under the sticker at the top. I found that a company called Inktec offers the best refill kits for Dell ink cartridges.

My steps where something like:
- Remove catridge from printer
- Find the little hole that is closed by a little metal ball
- Use the special tool from the refill pack to push in the little metal ball
- Squirt ink into cartridge via this little hole
- Cover the hole in the cartridge. The refill kit has something for this.
- Oh, and try not to make a mess, the ink is hard to clean up :-)

Take it from someone with experience, DO NOT REFILL INK CARTRIDGES. It's a huge mess, your printer gets screwed up because the chip on the cartridge, which contains the level, does not match up, and your printer will simply not print. Also, if you try to buy a generic cartridge it will clog up your printer and ruin it. I've got a broken printer to prove it.
Trust me, I've tried it all, so either buy a new cheap printer everytime you run out of ink (That's what I do) or buy the genuine cartridge (I wish I would've done that for my $150 printer thats now sitting useless). Too bad there's not a better shortcut....
Good Luck!

not as long as they were re-crammed awesome. i exploit the inexpensive top off kits from WalMart each and every of the time on my HP Printer. Saves money! even though it really is in ordinary words reliable for about 3 refills. Then I even ought to purchase new ink cartridges.

It should tell you with the instructions of ink refill kit. I did refill two different lexmark inks. They were different per instructions. Make sure you have the right refill kit for your printer. Good Luck!!

I don't have your answer. I just wanted to say that your name sure is funny, Ms. McPretty.
