you just not refill it without proper knowledge... you need a specific ink a specific needle a specific tubes and other things which i dont know.. i suggest do try it without proper knowlege and proper equipment coz it will break your printer...

wrong kind of ink might proke your printer head... :);)

I think all the neccessory cadget come together with the refil ink. U need to make a hole and refil it. U need to refil before the ink is totally empty. If not, the ink will not come out after refil.

yeh...just buy a refill package, which came with needle and ink container (usually two of them, full of 40ml black ink; or smaller if they are colour ones)
in hp catriges you sometimes need to make small hole in casing- do it with a hot needle or something, but be aware not to make a hole in internal "air-bag" (which makes pressure to ink), and when refilling, try to not explode this bag too ;) or you will be a very black guy for a while ;) all the instructions should be inside the set, sometimes some can be find in internet too. if you have any problems, feel free to ask, I can help in such stuff :)

and remember- no matter, what thay say: "it's hard" or "don't do it", "it's impossible" - human landed on Moon already, so refilling ink can't be that hard, can be? ;)

cheers

i used to work for an ink refill place...we used different ink for just about all cartridges and we didn't like it when people used generic refill kits, as the ink is of poor quality.

If memory serves me correctly under the sticker is a breather hole and we used to fill them up from there.

exactly- good memory then :)

and i agree- generic inks are not best, becouse ink spiter gets destroyed too quickly if ink is of different consistence, that it should be. i meant refill set, but dedicated to printer type.
