how do you refill the ink cartrige for tri color?

Question

i bought the refill ink where you drill a small hole and put the ink in .. i did the black one but thats because it was only one color of ink .. on one site it said dont mix the three colors , on another one it said drill holes at the top .. but there isnt one more clear than the drilling hole one.. thing is that hole leads to one place.. can any one help me out because it seems like the only way i can put the ink in is mix the colors

Answer 1

In a tri-color cartridge the carts are divided into 3 inside, so you need to drill a hole into each subsection and refill each subsection separately.

Thats where I learnt from. But, a couple of 'wrinkles' .. you will find that each tank (there will be 3) has a breather hole for that tank. to be sure waht colour ink to use, push a thin cocktail stick into your drilled hole, check the colour. When you go to fill, push your needle deep in, twist 1/4 turn then allow the ink to gravity fill (I used a syringe with no plunger for this move) Only put in enough ink to 1/2 fill, in case there is ink left. The logic behind this 'gravity fill' is that you do not want air bubbles.
Having said all this, I gave up refilling carts, found even cheaper option,

Wonderful system, worth throwing your current printer in the bin, you save so much on ink its cost effective to get a new printer and get a CFS.

Why might you desire to? maximum printers have a putting in properties to apply basically the black ink or to print gray scale. in case you place black ink interior the colour cartridge you will possibly get some very unusual outcomes in case you tried to print something yet text fabric.
