I have a Canon MP780 printer and I use BCI-3 black. The whole ink was used so I bought ink to refill. When I inject 4ml or more the ink tank leaks. Does anybody know how to refill ink tanks without problems?

The ink leaks at the bottom where the ink comes out to print.

I don't recommend refilling cartridges or buying remanufactured cartridges. Studies show that they are 33x more likely to fail than original manufactured ink cartrdges. Also, many times they can end up ruining your printer.

Ink Refill Kits Are Good Alternative To Buying New Catridges, but often are really messy, I too often purchase these kits, therefore, i advise you to take to precautions while refilling, 1) never refill the catridges with haste while using the syringe, otherwise it just squirts out from the other side even upon filling the catridges with just 4ml. 2)always Tilt the needle Little towards the left or right and fill.

Try and find a buisness in your area that refills printer ink cartridges. Trade in your empty cartridges for a new one for about 2/3 the cost of new. The one I goto fills the catridges all the way. Most of the cartidges new are only filled up about halfway. Filling catridges on your own can be too much of a hassle.

Poor idea....
It has a hole in the top.... that is for air ....
Just keep your tank upside down .. Insert drop by drop ink from the spnge type outlet where ink comes wile printing...!!! use your mind sir... It works fine... I refilled 100's of ink tanks like that...
Make sure not to insert any pin ... also not to damage the sponge type outlet...
Good luck

I recommend that you not use ink refills. The syringe might have excess ink remaining. No wonder refills are cheaper. Get new tanks.

cover the ink port (the hole on the bottom) with electrical tape. Removed the tape only after you have sealed the hole you made in the cartridge in order to fill it.

Your cartridge sealing is bad. It's not secured enough. Use electric tape to seal filling hole. You can get one in any hardware store.

Never had success with re-fill kits, I always purchase new cartridges.
