Here's something minorly stupid

Thanks!

I begin to understand your username. :smiley:

Do you manage to do it OK without creating an enormous mess?

Maybe things have changed since I last looked at inkjet refill kits, but way back then, they consisted of a stubby syringe of ink that you had to press down hard into a valve at the same time as depressing the plunger to charge the cartridge. I just knew that if I ever tried it, I’d slip and end up looking like a member of the Blue Man Group.

The best kits have bottles with 2 inch blunt needles on the cap.
Like this They don’t show a picture of their kit but they are nice kits.

When I refilled the first time, I made a HUGE mess, fortunately the ink is water washable so it cleaned up.

I have since learned the tricks and now refill the cartridges without even taking them out of the printer, in about a minute for all the colors.
I wear a rubber glove and have a damp paper towel in my other hand.

If you print a LOT you can get a continuous ink system , I have one on one of my photo printers, they are still kinda buggy and prone to problems, at least on Canon printers.
