HP Black and Color Cartridge
14
PLEASE NOTE: If you have tried printing with your cartridge completely out of ink, you may have damaged the printhead. Inkjet printers work by heating a resistor inside the printhead which heats the ink before it is sprayed onto the paper. If there is no ink to keep the resistors cool, you stand the chance of frying them.

Always refill before you are completely out of ink.
Instructions:
Important:
Wear old clothes and work over newspapers or paper towels.


1. Seal the outlet hole(s) with the aluminum tape provided.
2. Fill the syringe with 10 ml. of black ink or 5 ml. of color ink. Push needle through the label into the sponge of the correct filling hole. On the color cartridge the inks from left to right are, CYAN - MAGENTA - YELLOW (You can double check the ink colors by looking at the outlet ports before putting on the tape).
3. Very S-L-O-W-L-Y inject ink into the sponge until the cartridge is full. A little ink might come out of the top when full, so cover up the other two holes while filling one.
4. When finished, seal the Filling Hole(s) made in the top label with tape. If the holes are not sealed properly the cartridge will leak.
