Ink Jet Refill Instructions
Ink Jet Refill Instructions
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Please read these general instructions BEFORE REFILLING 1) To avoid any potential spill or mess, refill your cartridge over a workbench or in an area that can tolerate a spill 2) Read the instructions for your specific cartridge first before attempting to refill 3) If you have any questions, ask our technical support for assistance first before making any attempt on your own ([email protected]) 4) It is ALWAYS best to refill a cartridge when it is fresh avoid as much as possible leaving cartridges sit empty for a long time as the print heads could clog. We include printer and head cleaner with some kits which can help to dissolve print head clogs. You can use this cleaner in the way explained in the instructions for your specific cartridge, and you could also pour a small amount of the cleaner into a cup and allow the print heads of the cartridge to sit in the cleaner for a few hours or overnight. DO NOT immerse any other parts of the cartridge in the cleaning solution, ONLY the print heads. Keep in mind that many cartridges (like Epson, Canon) do NOT have print heads so this procedure does not apply. In general, you should try refilling cartridges when they are running low or when they have freshly emptied. 5) Try avoiding over-filling any cartridge. It is always better to under-fill rather than over-fill, as you can always fill again later. Refill slowly to avoid overfilling and creating any potential spill. 6) Be very careful to insert the correct color ink into the correct chamber. If you are unsure, you can usually check by inserting a toothpick into the filling chamber to see what color ink was there before. Refer to the diagrams in the instructions, or email technical support for assistance if you need to. REMEMBER: BK = K = Black C = Cyan (which is blue) M = Magenta (which is red) Y = Yellow (which is yellow) PC = Photo Cyan (or light Cyan) PM = Photo Magenta (or light Magenta)
FAQS
(1) Does using Uni-Kit ink or toner refills damage my printer? As regards your printer warranty, please read the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Improvement Act United States Code Annotated Title 15 Commerce and Trade Chapter 50 Comsumer Product Warranties 15 Section 2302: No warrantor of a consumer product may condition his written or implied warranty of such product on the consumers using, in connection with such product, any article or service (other than article or service provided without charge under the terms of the warranty) which is identified by brand, trade or corporate name; except that the prohibition of this subsection may be waived by the commission if: 1. The warrantor satisfies the Commission that the warranted product will function properly only if the article or service so identified is used in connection with the warranted product, and 2. the Commission finds that such a waiver is in the public interest. What this means to you: The manufacturer of the printer you are using cannot void the warranty on your printer because you use a cartridge or refill kit manufactured by someone other than the printer manufacturer. (2) Will using Uni-Kit ink refills clog my printer heads? For inkjet cartridges: Print heads may become clogged if the cartridge is left empty for an excessive period of time. It is always best to refill before the cartridge empties or soon after it empties. Clogged print heads can be unclogged most of the time by soaking the cartridge print heads in our cartridge and print head cleaner solution for a few hours. As long as you refill your cartridge soon after it empties (preferably even before it is completely empty), you will minimize the risk of clogged print heads. (3) How many refills will I get from 1 kit? This depends on the cartridges you have. With the Combo Uni-Kit Inkjet Refill Kit you can refill most black and color inkjet cartridges about 3-7 times each. (4) Is the refill process messy? Is it safe? The Uni-Kit refill kits are not messy if used carefully. The inkjet kit uses an injector system that allows you to accurately control the filling. The ink is not harmful unless ingested, so keep it out of reach of younger children and avoid contact with eyes. Wash affected areas with water, and if ingested or ill effects develop, call medical aid. (5) Will the Uni-Kit work with my specific printer? Yes, if you have an inkjet printer it can be refilled with the Uni-Kit Inkjet Refill System. This is because all inkjet cartridges have a filling hole which can be exposed and used to refill that cartridge with more ink. The Uni-Kit has a specially designed ink that works in ALL inkjet printers. Our instructions are updated regularly; if your printer or cartridge is not listed in the instruction manual please email tech support: support@ uni-kit.com. Some printers or cartridges have lockout mechanisms that prevent the cartridge from being recognized after it is refilled. Note: Some printers will STILL PRINT even though they give an error message, you can ignore the error message and continue printing. For Epson cartridges, these require that their chips be reset; an Epson Resetter is sold separately.
7) If you have quality problems such as faded prints or skipping lines, try soaking the cartridge heads a little in the print head cleaning solution or dabbing the print heads on a soft paper towel that has been moistened with water or print head cleaning solution. You need to get the ink to FLOW through the heads, so by dabbing on the paper towel you are creating a wicking effect that drains the ink to the bottom and out of the heads. For other troubleshooting advice, please email your specific problem to [email protected]. Over 90% of problems related to quality can be solved!

1. The filling hole is the same hole as the hole that connects to the printer. 2. Note: The cartridge is lined in a delicate Mylar bag and it is very important not to insert the needle more than 3/4 or it is possible to pierce or tear the Mylar bag. Important: It is very important to turn the cartridge as shown in the pictures. If you have the cartridge reversed then you will put the wrong color of ink in the wrong fill hole. Fill the syringe with ink and carefully insert the needle into the filling hole and slowly inject about 4 ml. of ink into the cartridge. 3 Hold the cartridge up with the filling hole at the top. Using the syringe, remove any trapped air in the cartridge by only inserting the tip of the needle and pulling up on the plunger until all air is removed. 4. Remove the syringe and rinse with water and dry for future use, or to use with a different color ink.
5. Reinsert the cartridge and run a priming cycle as per printer instructions. NOTE: It is not necessary to disassemble the cartridge to refill it and we strongly recommend you do not.

1. Put a piece of tape over the bottom hole of the cartridge. 2. Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the cover by prying up the clip holding the cover on the cartridge. 3. Using a knife remove both the small and large silver seals. 4. Underneath the large silver seal there are two holes (filling hole and vent hole), use the eyelet screw to widen the hole closest to the center of the cartridge (not the hole closest to the edge of the cartridge) Also widen the small hole located under the small silver seal. 5. Connect the needle to the syringe and fill ink. 6. Insert the syringe into the hole that was located under the large silver seal. Note: You may feel a slight pressure because the cartridge contains a sponge. 7. Inject about 7 ml. of ink and reseal the filling hole and vent hole with a piece of tape. 8. Insert the syringe into the small filling hole no more than 1/4 and inject approximately 3 ml. of ink and seal with a piece of tape. 9. Snap the plastic cover back onto the cartridge the same direction it came off. 10. Rinse the syringe with water and dry between each color refill or store for future use. 11. Remove the tape covering the bottom hole and reinsert the cartridge(s) and run a priming cycle as per printer instructions. Note: Immediately refill any empty cartridge

1. Cut the label at joint between the top and bottom halves of the cartridge case. 2. Flip open the cartridge casing (shell). 3. Remove the cartridge from the casing (shell). 4. There is a round hole (well) in the top of the cartridge. Inside the hole or well is a rubber stopper. Use a thumb drill and drill through the rubber stopper. Note: Do not bump or press the pressure release button. 5. Attach the needle onto the syringe and fill the syringe with 10 ml of ink. 6. Insert the needle through the drilled stopper hole and into the cartridge body. Please be sure the needle does not press up against the bag or puncture it, as this will ruin the cartridge and make it unusable. 7. Very slowly inject the 10ml of ink into the cartridge bag. If ink starts to come out of the filling hole, stop, as the cartridge is now full (pull back 1ml of ink from the cartridge back into the syringe to insure that the cartirdge is not overfilled). Unused ink can be returned to the bottle. 8. Remove the syringe with needle from the cartridge and seal the hole using the green tape dots provided or electrical tape. Make sure the hole is sealed airtight. 9. Place the cartridge back into its casing (shell) and use a piece of tape to hold the two sides of the casing (shell) together. 10. Re-install the cartridge back into the printer and run 1 to 3 cleaning cycles as per printer instructions.

Continue twisting until it pierces the plastic.. Connect the needle to the syringe and fill with ink. Insert the syringe into the hole and inject about 20 ml. ( or until the cartridge is full but not overfilled ) of ink. Seal the filling hole with one of the silicon plugs included. You will need to make adjustments to the plug so that nothing stands out or bulges out once its inserted. After you have made the necessary adjustments, use a small piece of duct tape or electrical tape to help hold down the silicon plug. You will want to make sure this area is flat to the surrounding surface. You can also use a small allen screw to plug the hole if needed. (This is very important since this is part of the area that will slide into the cartridge slot in the printer. If this area bulges out to far, it can pull off the area you just sealed and cause the cartridge to leak) Your cartridge has now been refilled and is ready for use. Rinse the syringe with water and dry between each color refill or store for future use.

1. Using a manual drill or the small
drill provided with your refill kit, drill through the plastic casing on the side of the cartridge. Drill enough to break through the plastic. Do not drill into the sponge area beyond the inner plastic casing.
Method #1
2 Once the hole has been created, use the syringe to penetrate
through the sponge, and guide the needle into the ink chamber as shown in thet illustration to the left. Slowly inject the ink into the chamber until 1/2 of it has been filled. Do not fill to the chamber more than the recommended amount. Doing so will cause more ink to flow into the sponge area, forcing ink to exit through the nozzle port (Area where the ink flows out of the cartridge).
3. Once the cartridge has been filled, carefull pull the needle out of the cartridge. It is recom-
mended that you use hot glue to seal the hole created, however, you can use silicon to cover the hole, and help complete the seal with some type of instant glue. Be sure to allow the cartridge seal to dry before inserting it into the printer. Placing the cartridge into the printer to early may break the seal and cause the cartridge to leak. Note: Make sure to seal the hole completly and not leave any cracks that would cause leaking.

Air Vent
Method #2
1. 2.
Use electrical or duct tape to seal the Air Vent found on the top of the cartridge. Note: Make sure tape is completely covering the vent. Remove the label partially, only to expose the ball bearing underneath. Then use a screwdriver or an L tool to push the ball bearing into the cartridge. This will give access to the filling hole. Connect the needle to the syringe and fill with ink. Use your finger as a plug by covering the outlet port. Keep your finger on the outlet port until you have finished refilling and the refill hole is plugged. If you let go any time earlier, ink may and can spill out of that outlet. Inject about 10 ml. of ink into the filling hole or until the ink chamber is full. Be sure to leave enough room in the ink chamber for the silicon plug, it will create pressure when inserted. Put a silicone plug in the refill hole to seal it, make sure it is air tight. If extra silicone from the plug is sticking out, you may trim it down to a practical size. Be sure to leave enough to make it easy for you to remove the next time you wish to refill the cartridge. Remove your finger from the outlet (small drops may leak out, but once the cartridge pressure stabilizes itself, it will stop) and remove the tape from earlier off the vent. Rinse the syringe with water and dry for future use, or use with a different color ink. Reinsert the cartridge and run a priming cycle as per printer instructions.

1. Peel back the label from the top of the cartridge to expose the refill holes of the cartridge. (If the illustration on the right differ from your cartridge model, use 3 toothpicks and poke each hole to determine its color) 2. Fill the syringe with 10ml of black ink (5ml for each color on color cartridges). 3. Insert the needle into the cartridge gently, however, make sure you dont push the needle in to the cartridge too deep. Doing so could cause it to go right through the sponge and come out the other end., causing the sponge to break. To be safe, insert the needle very slightly, and inject the ink.. 4. Once the cartridge has been refilled, stick the label back in place, if the label has been destroyed, use duct tape or electrical tape. (Try keeping the label size when using tape) 5. Rinse the syringe with water and dry between each color refill or store for future use. 6. Reinstall the cartridge and run 1 - 3 test pages as per printer instructions. If necessary leave the cartridge in printer for up to 24 hours to allow ink to flow to the print head. 7. After you refill and reinsert the cartridge(s) back into the printer, the printer will still remember the cartridge as empty so it will continue to give you a low/out of ink warning. Some printers will still allow you to print, but if your printer will not, you will need to replace the chip on the cartridge (check for availability).

Air Vent
Use electrical or duct tape to seal the Air Vent found on the top of the cartridge. Note: Make sure tape is completely covering the vent. Remove the label partially, only to expose the ball bearing underneath. Then use a screwdriver or an L tool to push the ball bearing into the cartridge. This will give access to the filling hole. Connect the needle to the syringe and fill with ink. Use your finger as a plug by covering the outlet port. Keep your finger on the outlet port until you have finished refilling and the refill hole is plugged. If you let go any time earlier, ink may and can spill out of that outlet. Inject about 10 ml. of ink into the filling hole or until the ink chamber is full. Be sure to leave enough room in the ink chamber for the silicon plug, it will create pressure when inserted. Put a silicone plug in the refill hole to seal it, make sure it is air tight. If extra silicone from the plug is sticking out, you may trim it down to a practical size. Be sure to leave enough to make it easy for you to remove the next time you wish to refill the cartridge. Remove your finger from the outlet (small drops may leak out, but once the cartridge pressure stabilizes itself, it will stop) and remove the tape from earlier off the vent. Rinse the syringe with water and dry for future use, or use with a different color ink. Reinsert the cartridge and run a priming cycle as per printer instructions.

Note: If the cartridge continuously leaks, place the cartridge on its side until the dripping stops. Also, check the seal on the cartridge to make sure it is airtight.
Method 2. If you feel that the first method of refilling is not something youd like to try, you can place ink into the cartrdige via the nozzle. By turning the cartridge over so that the nozzle (OuletPort) points up, you can slowly drip ink into the nozzle. This procedure may take long and no ink will go into the ink chamber, but the sponge will retain some ink for you to use and continue the use of your cartridge. You may usually use about 3-4m of ink at a time in the sponge.

Pitney Bowes793-5
1) Peel off the sticker on the top front of the cartridge (original Pitney Bowes cartridges have a sticker that covers the entire top side of the cartridge, whereas NuPost Compatible cartridges have a smaller sticker) 2) Underneath the sticker, you will notice at least 1 hole. Locate the hole that is covered by a silver foil seal tab, this silver seal covers the filling hole. (If you do not see this hole in your cartridge, please use the illustration to your right to create a hole to refill the cartridge). 3) Attach the needle to the syringe and draw up 8ml of compatible ink. 4) Either insert the needle through the silver seal, or remove the seal first using a small knife or blade and then insert the needle through the filling hole. (do NOT insert the needle through any hole that has a rubber protrusion, as indicated by the lower hole in this Nupost compatible cartridge). The filling hole should provide no initial resistance to your needle other than the seal that lies above it. Once you insert the needle into the cartridge, you will begin to feel some resistance due to the sponge inside the cartridge, it is OK to penetrate this sponge. Push the needle gently through to the bottom of the sponge, and inject about 8cc (8ml) of ink or until the cartridge is full. You will know the cartridge is full because the sponge will no longer be able to hold any more ink. 5) Seal the filling hole with electrical tape, and allow the cartridge to sit for a few minutes over some paper towels in order to allow the ink to settle to the bottom of the cartridge, and for any overflow to drip and settle its way out through the bottom. Once the cartridge is no longer dripping, you can place it back in the printer. 54

OEM
1) SKIP THIS STEP if your cartridge is not a Pitney Bowes original cartridge. The original PB cartridges have a cap which needs to be removed. Using a medium sized flat screwdriver, lift the tab as shown in the picture. Once the tab has cleared the top of the cartridge, slide the cap away from you until it is completely removed from the cartridge. 2) Remove the circular silver seal tabs (not necessary for Nupost compatible cartridges). Pay carful attention to both areas exposed by removing the silver seals, you will notice that 1 are actually has 2 holes right next to each other, whereas the other area only has 1 hole. In the area that has 2 holes next to each other, make sure NOT to put ink into the outer hole, as that is a vent hole and any ink poured in there will leak out the bottom of the cartridge. 3) FOR PITNEY BOWES ORIGINAL CARTRIDGES: Enlarge the 2 filling holes (the one on the right of the picture shown, and the INNER of the 2 holes on the left of the cartridge as shown). You can enlarge these holes using an eyelet screw or a small drill bit. Note that you need to fill BOTH filling holes with ink in order for the cartridge to work. FOR NUPOST COMPATIBLE CARTRIDGES: There are 2 filling holes, the one is a selfsealing rubber hole in the middle of the circle on the left, and the other is to the right of the picture which needs to be enlarged with an eyelet screw or small drill. Both these holes (the larger self sealing hole on the left, as well as the hole you have enlarged on the right) need to be filled with ink.

4) Draw up compatible ink in the syringe, and fill both chambers as positioned in point 4 above. The larger chamber on the left will hold more ink. Do NOT overfill the chambers, especially the right chamber. If you have filled it to the brink, carefully remove a small amount of ink to avoid it spilling. You will know when each chamber is full because you will see the ink coming to the top. Stop short of the top for both chambers to avoid spillage. 5) Cover both filling holes with electrical tape, making sure to leave the middle vent hole open on the Nupost model as shown below. 6) Replace the cap of the cartridge (not needed for Nupost model). If the cartridge is dripping ink, place it on some paper towels until it has pressurized and stopped dripping. Now you can place it back in the Pitney Bowes meter. 55

1) Locate the filling hole in the center of the rubber plug as shown in the image below. For Nupost models, this filling hole is covered by a silver seal. You can poke through the silver seal with the syringe and needle. 2) Inject approximately 25ml into the cartridge, being careful not to overfill. 3) Place the cartridge back into the mailing machine and run a test cycle. Prompt your machine to let it know that you have inserted a new cartridge.
