ReFilL!!

Well..Here's a very simple guide on how to refill your PG-40/PG-830 or CL-41/CL-831 ink cartridges and not making a mess..
Here's what you need:
1.Buy the ink refill..(black,cyan,magenta,yellow)
2.prepare tissues and newspaper..(the more the better)
3.Plastic gloves..(So that your hands wont get ink-ed)
4.Some patience and time
5.Ready to make a move when something goes wrong
6.I prefer to not wear a shirt to avoid it to get dirty..You could be like a crazy person like me or just wear your old shirt or a shirt you seldom wear..
6.This guide that was made by me..:D

READ THIS GUIDE CAREFULLY FOR 1 TIME BEFORE TRYING TO REFILL

Okay..thats all..Let's get to it..Here are the steps..
1.Lay down a few sheets of newspaper on the floor..We dont want that nice clean floor to get dirty..

2.Remove the ink refill from the ink refill..Some ink refills provide the drill,glove and the sticker..the rest in them are useless..Okay..so put the refills,drills and stickers where you can see them..you really cant afford lose them..
3.Switch on your printer and remove your ink cartridge..You dont need me to tell you how and see where is the head..IMPORTANT!!..NEVER TOUCH ANYTHING ON THE CARTRIDGE EXEPT FOR THE PLACES WHERE IT IS MADE OF PLASTIC..

4.Lay the cartridge down on your newspaper where the plastic side is down..Remove the sticker of the cartridge as the refilling holes are under them..

5.Put on your plastic gloves as now it will sometimes get messy

6.Take your drill and drill only one hole at a time until the drill reaches the bottom where you can feel you have drilled through some kind of a sponge..

7.Take your ink refill of either black,cyan,magenta or yellow and insert it into the drilled hole..Make sure the colour the you are putting in is the right hole..(XDXD)..
8.when You feel its full..remove the refill and close it immedietly to avoid accidental spills..
CAUTION:IF INK OVERFLOWS ONTO THE CARTRIDGE..WIPE IT IMMEDIETLY WITH THE TISSUE..BUT DONT TOUCH THE PRINTER INK HEAD..IF IT SPILLS TO YOUR NEWSPAPER..DONT WORRY ABOUT IT..
9.Take the sticker that is usually provided and stick it onto the hole..when you have done that..hold the sticker and shake the cartridge..

10.Repeat the same steps when refilling other colour's hole..

11.When you are done refilling everything..lightly shake the cartridge to make the ink flow to the head..

12.Switch On your printer and put back the cartridge to their respective slots and do a quick maintenance on the printer..E.G.Do a printer head alignment,Cleaning,Deep cleaning..If you keep doing cleaning and deep cleaning for a long time and the print result is not satisfactory..leave your printer alone for a few minutes..In the mean time..Go Facebook and play Friends For Sale and buy me..XDXD..haha..After that,try doing it again..If it still cant..then keep doing it..It will eventually heal by itself..So Enjoy the backpain that you may have after doing all of this..:D..which always happen to me:(..


For other ink cartridges..Google search on how to do it..:D

GOOGLE IS YOU FRIEND WHO CAN GET OLD AND SLOW..USE IT WHILE IT'S STILL YOUNG!!..XDXD

Remember though the concept 'CAYG'..
Clean
As
You
Go



As a reward to myself for doing this..I'll eat this bowl of pork leg rice in my head..MMmmmmm...XDXD
