OK i am sick of paying $80 for my printers cartridges. so i bought to refill kit. OK i get that you put it in the hole on the top under the sticker. and there is a sponge like thing inside. instructions say you push threw the sponge and then back up a tiny bit. i got that far and it's very hard to squeeze the container. i am not sure if i am doing this right. anybody successful with this have advice. thank you.

it is really hard to add. if i squeze to hard it will over flow. i hate the printer companies they are purposely making this difficult to do so we will have to buy their over priced cartridges. I have ink all over my hands and i still had to go out and buy a new color one. the black was easier to fill. somewhat. hard to really know when it is full. there has to be a better way.

have a look here for tips and tools.

One 'tiplet' i found worked Using a very long needle and LeurLock (see link) syringe, push in, pull back, twist the 'twist' makes sure the needle end is clear.. Then, connect a large syringe and no plunger, sqirt your ink in.leave to gravity fill, avoids air bubbles in cart.Generally, takes a few mins.
Then again, I gave up on refilling, went to a Continuous Ink Supply System...its the answer to a maidens prayer, no fuss...cheap. See CFS on the link.

Hi. That's basically it. Just push slowly but firmly so the sponge can absorb the ink.

Sounds like your doing okay. I do it often...or whenever need more ink.
