• At a slow pace at intervals of time allowing the sponge to soak in, fill the cartridge with ink.
• When the paint appears in the drain hole, the syringe can be removed.

Holes wipe with a cloth. The cartridge is placed on a flat surface (table) for settling about 5 minutes.

It is necessary to carefully take a full tank and place it where it was previously located. Install until click. The next step is to turn on the "cleaning cycle" - getting good print quality. Then the equipment can be considered ready to work. So you can refill the cartridge yourself, saving time and money for going to the workshop.
