BLACK
- Holds
7ml of ink if fully empty. Drip 5ml to be safe until your use to
it. Best refill before empty to keep on printing and save your
printer head from burn-out. Also it keeps the cartridge moist.
Dried or old cartridges may not work!
- Turn
the cartridge upside down and drip 5ml of ink in to the hole. DO
NOT puncture the foam. Do not leave upside down too long. You can
gently squeeze the sides as you drip the ink to make it soak in
quicker. Not too hard!
- Do
not leave the cartridge upside down too long or the ink will come
out of the breathing hole at the top and make a mess. If it does,
just wipe clean.
- Stand
upright until the ink stops dripping. There may be a little, so
use newspaper or a bucket or some thing that can tolerate a spill.
Ink stains!
- Note
with the black cartridge, since it's all black, it does not matter
if it runs out of the air hole and remixes when you turn it back
the correct way up!
COLOURS
METHOD 1... See
Method 2 Below
- Holds
4ml each of coloured ink if all are fully empty. Some Likely a %
still full.
- You
need to know which colour is not printing before filling them all.
Yellow is usually the first to go. If in doubt, anything around 3ml
that starts to puddle and not soak in, means no more. Do not
puncture foam..
- *You
must not leave the colour cartridge upside down too long. The
colours will come out of the air hole at the top and mix. Do it in
short bursts. Fill each syringe with 3ml of ink, so you have 3 x
colours ready to go! Best tape the holes you’re not filling to
avoid cross contamination should you drip too much in and it runs
over to the next colour outlet. Don’t
do all of one colour, then the next!
- Fill
in this order: You can tell dryness by how quick the ink is
absorbed. Stop when the ink sits in a puddle. Do not over fill or
it will splash when printing, or it will run into the other
chambers when up righted for insertion.
- Syringe
with Cyan. Turn the cartridge
upside-down and drip 1ml at a time.
^Upright 15 seconds. Next
Colour Magenta
- Syringe
with Magenta. Turn the
cartridge upside-down and drip 1ml
at a time. ^Upright 15 seconds. Next
Colour Yellow
- Syringe
with Yellow. Turn the
cartridge upside-down and drip 1ml
at a time. ^Upright 15 seconds. Back
to Cyan and start over until all 3ml is in.
- Wipe
any excess ink between colours so they don’t run to other
chambers. Leave until it stops dripping and then place it back in
the holder. Return to printer.
- You
must take your time with these. Keep
them topped up for best results.

METHOD 2
- With
the colour cartridge you can snap the top off after taping the
exit holes. If you find dripping ink in with the cartridge upside
down too hard, this maybe a better method for you.
- Note
with the black cartridge, since it's all black, it does not matter
if it runs out of the air hole and remixes when you turn it back
the correct way up! So it's best to drip the ink in as shown
above.
Once
the cap is removed, place the ink in the correct holes, then replace
the cap and press down firmly and hold with sticky tape. DO NOT block
the small air hole.
If
you plan to refill several for later use, tape the exit hole and tape
the air hole and store upright, remember to remove top and bottom tape
before use.
Pigment Black
is used for text in the Bci24. Pigment ink, once dry won't run if the
paper gets wet, say; a few rain drops on it. But since all other colours
are dye based, you can use 'Regular' black to save money. Let's face
it, if the paper does get wet, isn't it ruined anyway? I would not
like to receive a letter water soaked or covered in Coffee stains???
