Reﬁ ll instructions Lexmark No. 31 | No. 33 | No. 35 | No. 43

Please carefully read these instructions, before starting reﬁ lling a cartridge. In order to avoid any soiling, always place a protective mat underneath the cartridge before starting the reﬁ lling process, and keep a dampened cloth at hand, to remove any contamination straight away. These instructions apply to the cartridges mentioned above only. The syringe and injection tools as well as the ink must be kept away from children. We shall not be held liable for damages caused by inadequate or wrong handling. The reﬁ lling of cartridges is made at your own risk. The reﬁ lling process has to be carried out before the cartridge is totally empty. Please note however, that ink cartridges with built-in print heads can not be reﬁ lled repeatedly.

The ink tanks provided need to be turned into syringes in order to complete the reﬁ lling process. For this purpose, open the cap of one of the provided ink tanks. Place the included blunt needle by screwing it down the tank’s opening. Hold the base of the syringe with thumb and foreﬁ nger and twist the injecting devise onto it, counter clockwise.

First remove the label from the upper side of the cartridge und bore reﬁ lling holes. To do so, use the supplied tool to enlarge the 3 existing openings.

Now insert the syringe inclined into each opening. Slowly and carefully squeeze the ink into each ink chamber, until just under the openings. If some ink emerged from the nozzles, simply draw up a small quantity of ink from the chamber into the syringe. To make sure that you inject the right colour into the correspondent colour chamber while reﬁ lling, start to identify each colour chamber, inserting a toothpick through the openings. Replace the label afterwards.

Finally clean the area around the nozzles with a tissue, until these are clearly visible. You may now insert the reﬁ lled cartridge into the printer.

Additional information: If your printer is using more than 3 colours, you are required to mix photo ink for every colour. The proportions are as follow: 3/4 of the syringe ﬁ lled with the Photo & Cleaning Fluid provided in our reﬁ ll set, and 1/4 with the required colour of ink. Finally mix the solutions by shaking vigorously and proceed to ﬁ ll the mixture into the respective ink chambers.

Should the cartridge print in streaks, please start a cleaning cycle with your printer software. If the problem remains, dab the nozzles with a dampened cloth or leave them to settle in warm water for few minutes.

You can moreover use an empty syringe without needle to press air from above into the openings and by doing so produce a slight over pressure within the ink chambers. By doing so, ink will ﬂ ow out of the nozzles and has to be dabbed away immediately with a tissue. This trick allows pressing sealed air bubbles out of the nozzle chamber.
