Refill instructions Lexmark No. 31 | No. 33 | No. 35 | No. 43
Please carefully read these instructions, before starting refilling a cartridge. In order to avoid any soiling, always place a protective mat underneath the cartridge before starting the
refilling process, and keep a dampened cloth at hand, to remove any contamination straight away. These instructions apply to the cartridges mentioned above only. The syringe
and injection tools as well as the ink must be kept away from children. We shall not be held liable for damages caused by inadequate or wrong handling. The refilling of cartridges
is made at your own risk. The refilling process has to be carried out before the cartridge is totally empty. Please note however, that ink cartridges with built-in print heads can not
be refilled repeatedly.

The ink tanks provided need to be turned into syringes in
order to complete the refilling process. For this purpose,
open the cap of one of the provided ink tanks. Place the
included blunt needle by screwing it down the tank’s
opening. Hold the base of the syringe with thumb and
forefinger and twist the injecting devise onto it, counter
clockwise.
First remove the label from the upper side of the cartridge
und bore refilling holes. To do so, use the supplied tool
to enlarge the 3 existing openings.
Now insert the syringe inclined into each opening.
Slowly and carefully squeeze the ink into each ink
chamber, until just under the openings. If some ink
emerged from the nozzles, simply draw up a small
quantity of ink from the chamber into the syringe.
To make sure that you inject the right colour into the
correspondent colour chamber while refilling, start to
identify each colour chamber, inserting a toothpick
through the openings. Replace the label afterwards.

You can moreover use an empty syringe without needle
to press air from above into the openings and by doing so
produce a slight over pressure within the ink chambers.
By doing so, ink will flow out of the nozzles and has to be
dabbed away immediately with a tissue. This trick allows
pressing sealed air bubbles out of the nozzle chamber.
Finally clean the area around the nozzles with a tissue,
until these are clearly visible. You may now insert the
refilled cartridge into the printer.
Additional information: If your printer is using more
than 3 colours, you are required to mix photo ink for
every colour. The proportions are as follow: 3/4 of the
syringe filled with the Photo & Cleaning Fluid provided
in our refill set, and 1/4 with the required colour of
ink. Finally mix the solutions by shaking vigorously
and proceed to fill the mixture into the respective ink
chambers.
Should the cartridge print in streaks, please start a
cleaning cycle with your printer software. If the problem
remains, dab the nozzles with a dampened cloth or leave
them to settle in warm water for few minutes.
