Instructions for refilling refillable cartridges for CANON, HP printers. General instructions for refilling refillable cartridges Epson, Canon, HP Instructions for refilling refillable cartridges hp 178

For different printer models there may be differences in the appearance of the cartridges, but the refilling and installation technology is identical!

	1. Preparing for refueling For refilling you need to prepare syringes with a volume of 10 ml. and napkins (you may need them during the refueling process)
	2. Replacing the chip (for PCB models without chips) If your slam-shut valves are equipped with chips, skip this step. To work, you will need to swap the chips from original cartridges to refillable ones. Rearrange the chips one by one, ensure that the colors of the cartridge chips match, each chip is responsible for its own cartridge, for its own color. At first carefully remove the chip from the original cartridge; this can be done using a utility knife or a screwdriver with a flat sharp tip. Then install the chip into the slot of the refillable cartridge. To fix the chip, you will need to solder the plastic holders on which the chip is attached; this can be done with the same screwdriver, having previously heated it with a lighter or soldering iron.
	3. Fill the syringe with ink
	4. Refilling the cartridge Take a cartridge with a sticker of the corresponding color. Each cartridge has two holes on top: an ink hole and an air hole. Insert the nozzle of the syringe (without a needle) tightly into the filling hole: as shown in the figure. Smoothly fill the ink to about 90%. If ink suddenly spills out through the air hole, use a syringe to pump the ink back out and blot it with a napkin. After refilling, the syringes can be rinsed with plain water and dried to be used the next time you refill.
	After filling with ink, firmly insert the rubber plug (included in the kit) into the filling hole.
	5. Installation in the printer ATTENTION: The air hole must remain open during printing. During long periods of inactivity without printing or transporting the printer with cartridges, it is necessary to tightly close the air hole with a plug (i.e., both holes must be closed). After refilling all the cartridges, carefully remove the orange stands and insert the cartridges one by one into the printer. Do not touch the bottom flap as Ink may bleed.

Actions to take if printing deteriorates.

Do a nozzle test.
If 1-2 nozzles are missing, then do not take any action. Let the system sit for 1-2 hours. Then do the nozzle test again. All nozzles must be restored.
If more nozzles are missing, then run the cleaning using the utility on your computer once. Then let the system sit for 30-40 minutes. In 90% of cases, the nozzles will be restored. If you have not recovered, run the cleaning again, and again wait 30-40 minutes.

Prevents clogging and drying of nozzles.
Keep the mouthguard (head parking space) clean. Wipe it regularly. Ink that leaks while the head is parked can get back inside the cartridge. If this does happen, then when printing you will find a color mismatch; on the nozzle test you will immediately see this (for example, instead of blue there will be raspberry). Pull out the cartridge and carefully use a syringe to pump out some ink through the bottom rubber valve and insert the cartridge back.

Application of ink.

For reliable CISS operation, use only high-quality ink. Don't try to save money on them. This saving can result not only in printing problems, but also in failure of the printer’s print head.

CISS refueling technology.

When the ink level in the containers reaches about 2cm, refilling is necessary. To do this, remove the filters from the air compartment and tightly close the holes with a rubber plug. Open the ink compartment plug, install the funnel, carefully fill in the ink (they should be the same as they were filled in earlier and do not forget to shake them first), do this operation for each color in turn. Remove the ink funnel, close the ink compartment with a plug, and only then open the air compartments and insert the air filters. The air compartment must be empty.

Refillable cartridges are an excellent alternative to original ones, which can only be used once. Instead of spending a lot of money on purchasing another cartridge, you should try installing refillable cartridges for HP on your printer or multifunction printer.

Externally, refillable cartridges do not differ from the original ones; they have identical dimensions and a similar design. The main difference is the ability to use the cartridge body to refill ink an endless number of times. Non-original HP cartridges are equipped with special chips that can be reset before each refill. This zeroing helps the HP printer or multifunction printer perceive the cartridges as original and work with them without problems. The presence of refill holes in the cartridge body and the transparent body allows you to see how much ink of which color needs to be added to the container.

Complete kit for comfortable installation of HP shut-off valves

Lucky Print not only cares about helping you save on original supplies. Our specialists compile a complete set of everything necessary for installation and operation of the shut-off switch.

Included with the cartridge itself you will receive detailed instructions that will help both in installing and operating the cartridge, as well as a refilling kit for HP cartridges. The installation of cartridges for hp inkjet printers is carried out directly inside the device, in place of the original cartridge. The parameters are identical to the original ones and do not require changing the internal structure of the printer or multifunction device to install the shut-off switch. The lightweight body of such a cartridge helps maintain the functionality of the carriage in which it is located and the print head for a long time. HP (Hewlett Packard) color cartridges have a shorter ink life than CISS, but are more convenient to use. Since they are placed inside the device, they do not take up additional space on the desktop.

The quality of prints obtained using PZK remains at a consistently high level, and when using pigment ink it becomes indistinguishable from the original one. At the same time, the cost of a refillable cartridge is significantly lower than the original one, and the subsequent purchase of ink for refilling will not entail serious printing costs. When a cartridge's lifespan comes to an end, thanks to a simple scheme, everyone can handle refilling on their own: reset the chip and add ink into the special holes on the cartridge.

Although in appearance HP cartridges are very similar to Canon cartridges, the method of operation and, accordingly, refills for these cartridges are different. This manual explains the correct way to fill the Pacxodka HP178 and Pacxodka HP655 slam-shut valves. Correct refueling and compliance with some of the rules that will be discussed are the key to the correct operation of the slam-shut valve and the printer as a whole.

1. Preparing to refill the cartridge.

Refilling the Pacxodka HP178 and Pacxodka HP655 PZK is done with ordinary medical syringes; no special tools or devices are required.

New cartridge HP178, HP655 with protective tape still installed, in a refill clip.

Before refilling, you need to remove the yellow tape that seals the air hole of the cartridge; the tape is glued to the cartridge body and can be easily removed.

In rare cases, the air hole of the cartridge, after removing the tape, remains closed by glue residues, or by a part of the tape that has not come off; it is very important for the normal functioning of the cartridge that the hole allows air to enter the cartridge. Please make sure this is true:

The easiest way to make sure that the hole is not blocked by residual glue and protective tape is to pierce it with the needle of the syringe that you will use to refill the cartridge:

The cartridge is ready for refilling, all you have to do is remove the plug from the filling hole and you can start refilling:

The cartridge is refilled through a hole initially closed with a stopper, a mandatory rule that must be followed; the stopper limits the free access of air into the cartridge chamber, which creates a slight vacuum in it, which in turn prevents the free flow of ink from the cartridge.

Important: The cartridge plug should not open if the cartridge is not installed in the refill clip (orange in the photo), and must be closed before removing the cartridge from the refill clip.

Through the filling hole you can start refilling the "Pacxodka HP178" and "Pacxodka HP655" cartridges with ink:

The Pacxodka PZK uses a high-quality filler that instantly absorbs ink; the photo shows the process of ink absorption by the cartridge filler

The cartridge is refilled when the foam is saturated with ink and no longer absorbs ink:

Important: The filling (compensation) compartment of the cartridge must be empty. Otherwise, the pressure in the cartridge will not be stabilized, and you will get blots on the paper and poor print quality. The cartridge is refilled until the filler absorbs ink; after the filler is completely saturated with ink (it stops absorbing ink from the filling chamber), ink filling must be stopped. If more ink was added, some ink remains in the chamber; it must be pumped out with a syringe.

The cartridge is refilled and ready for use, the ink in the compartments is filled correctly, the filling hole is closed:

Important: Do not rush to install it into the printer immediately after refilling the cartridge. Let the cartridge sit for half an hour to equalize the pressure and distribute the ink evenly across the filler fibers. This note is important only when refilling the cartridge for the first time. Repeated and subsequent refills do not require settling of the cartridge.

A correctly refilled cartridge will not leak ink after refilling, the cartridge is guaranteed not to flood the printer mechanisms with excess ink, and will print perfectly:

The cartridge is ready to be installed in the printer. All cartridges are refilled in the same way.

Repeated and further refills are carried out in the same way as the initial refill, with the exception that the cartridge can be installed in the printer immediately after refilling.

Tip: Prepare the ink before removing the ink cartridge from the printer. Then, over time, you will spend no more than 15 seconds refilling the cartridge. The syringe can be reused after filling, sterility is not required when filling, the main thing is after filling with ink, rinse the syringe and dry it.

3. Working with cartridges

If your kit does not have an “autochip” installed, the printer will print the cartridge as a standard one and then indicate that the cartridge is out of ink and needs to be replaced.

When, according to the printer, the cartridge is empty, you must disable the ink control in the printer, otherwise the printer will block operation on “empty” cartridges. This is done in the printer menu or settings on the computer if the printer does not have a display.

Disable ink control in HP printers. Allows you to print on an “expired” cartridge.

After disabling the cartridge chip control, your printer will not show the approximate ink level, but it will not block the printer from asking you to install a new cartridge.

The user’s task is to monitor the ink in the cartridge; Pacxodka PLCs are made of transparent plastic, which allows you to visually monitor the ink level and not miss the moment when the cartridge runs out.

Attention!!!
Before using the safety switch, you should make sure that the printer is working properly. Print a nozzle test using original cartridges. If all nozzles are working properly, begin filling and installing the slam-shut kit. Please note that these SPDs only work as a set; they cannot be used together with original cartridges.

10. The printer is ready to use.

Tips for use:

2. Prevent clogging and drying of nozzles. Keep the mouthguard (head parking space) clean. Rinse it regularly.

Instructions for refilling IST refillable cartridges for Epson printers.

Let's consider refilling a typical Epson slam-shut valve (Fig. 1) with two holes on the top of the cartridge, one for refilling and the second as a ventilation hole. Both holes must be open before filling.

Attention!!! Before refilling, carefully read the “General Recommendations for Refilling Inkjet Cartridges”. For more convenient refilling, use disposable medical syringes with a volume of 10-20 ml.

Step #1. Fill the syringe with ink. Take a syringe and fill it with ink as much as is required to refill this type of cartridge. Make sure there is no foam in the ink.

Step #2. Refill the cartridge with ink. Insert the syringe nozzle (without a needle) tightly into the refill hole as shown in the figure and smoothly pour ink from the syringe into the cartridge. Fill the cartridge approximately 90%.

Step #3. Close the filling hole with a rubber plug. Refill the remaining cartridges in the same order, using a separate syringe for each color.

Attention! If your cartridge does not have a second, additional hole for refilling, then refilling should be done through the bottom valve of the cartridge. Hold the cartridge with the ventilation hole facing up to prevent ink from spilling.

Tips for use: 1. Actions if print quality deteriorates. Do a nozzle test immediately. If 1-2 nozzles are missing, then do not take any action. Let the system sit for 1-2 hours. Then do the nozzle test again. All nozzles must be restored. If more nozzles are missing, then run the cleaning using the driver once. In 90% of cases, the nozzles are restored. If you have not recovered, wait 30-40 minutes and start cleaning again.

3. Application of ink. For reliable CISS operation, use only high-quality ink. Don't try to save money on them. This saving can result not only in printing problems, but also in the failure of the printer head.

In order for the cartridges from the HP 178 DSK set to be detected by the printer, it is necessary to swap the chips from the original cartridges to the DSK cartridges, strictly observing the color of the cartridges.

The chip itself on the original cartridge is an electrical product made in the form of a flat thin platform containing the chip itself, contact pads, a base and a sticky base with which it is attached to the surface of the cartridge:

During the process of reinstalling the chip, it is very important to place it on the spar cartridge in a precisely defined place for this purpose - otherwise the contacts of the chip may not coincide with the contacts in the printed carriage and the cartridge will not be detected. In order to facilitate this procedure, on the DSK cartridge the installation location of the chip is highlighted using a matte coating that stands out on the general plane of the cartridge in the form of a rectangular area, the size of which exactly matches the dimensions of the chip. It is on this that you need to accurately glue the chip, repeating its position on the original cartridge:

To remove the chip from the original cartridge, use a sharp, flat tool, such as a utility knife blade. It is necessary to very carefully place the tip of the blade under the chip and slightly lift it:

Pressing the chip against the blade with your finger, pull it up - the chip should begin to peel off. Do not use unnecessary force to avoid damaging the chip:

As a result, you will have in your hands a chip removed from the cartridge, stuck to the plane of the knife; hold it with your finger so that it does not accidentally fall out and dirt does not get on the adhesive surface, which will cause poor adhesion to the spare motor cartridge:

Place the spar cartridge cartridge in front of you and carefully visually try on the location of the chip, make sure that the area for gluing the chip on the spar surface is dry and clean:

Place the chip over the beginning of the chip placement area and lightly glue the top of the chip:

If necessary, adjust the position of the chip while it is not yet stuck to the entire plane, then gently press it with your finger to the surface of the cartridge, carefully removing the blade:

This is what a correctly mounted chip should look like on a spare valve cartridge:

To refill a cartridge with ink, install it in a plastic container from the spare valve kit to prevent ink from leaking out during refilling:

Close the air hole on the cartridge with a silicone plug:

Fill the syringe with 9 ml of ink and slowly pour it into the empty compartment, pausing to allow the ink to be absorbed into the absorber of the second compartment:

To continue refilling, you must wait until the ink is completely absorbed into the absorber:

You can speed up the absorber impregnation process by tilting the cartridge towards the absorber side so that the ink is absorbed faster:

In this form, after the ink has been absorbed, there should be a cartridge in the absorber, the empty compartment should be practically free of ink, and the absorber should be completely saturated with ink:

After this, exactly 6 ml of ink must be poured into the empty compartment. Do not try to pour more - this can lead to the cartridge overfilling and the ink will not be retained in it and will flow out, which leads to the print head flooding. Typically, the result of a cartridge leak is blots on the paper during printing or streaking, up to a complete absence of prints due to the fact that the plate with the nozzles is covered with a puddle of ink, which prevents the nozzles from spitting out microdrops of ink. The ink should be approximately to this level:

After refilling, lightly squeeze the cartridge from the sides with your fingers so that a little air comes out of it (another reason why you can’t refill the cartridge to capacity) and close the refill hole with the silicone plug included in the kit:

Before installing the cartridge into the printer, be sure to check it for leaks - remove the plastic block and make sure that the cartridge is in working condition: with an open air hole and a closed refill hole, it does not leak:

After this, the cartridge can be inserted into the printer.

Attention!Since the DZK cartridges are equipped with chips from original cartridges, which ALREADY record (as a rule) the ink level value “RUNNING OUT”, the printer may display a message about the need to replace the cartridge. To continue printing, press the "OK" button on the front panel - the printer will continue printing. This operation will have to be done for each message for each cartridge.
