work area with newspaper or other scrap paper to protect from accidental
ink spills.
2. Remove depleted color print cartridge from printer
according to printer manufacturer's instructions.
3. Lay cartridge on its side. CAREFULLY using the razor knife provided
in the kit, work the blade into the joint between the green cap and black
cartridge body on all four sides to pry off cap. See Fig. 1.
