Canon BJC-600 Series Printers
Step 1:
Using black electrical tape or equivalent seal off the exit port on the cartridge where the ink comes out and the vent hole just above it. Make sure you get a good airtight seal. See photo.
Step 2:
Using the small hand drill, drill a hole into the reservoir just under the little handle on the opposite end from the exit port. If your cartridge has a small indented area, drill just below it. Make sure you are going into the reservoir area and not the sponge filled area. Alternate Method of Drilling: Instead of using the hand Drill, try a heated paper clip and melt a hole through the cartridge. Heat the paper clip with a lighter. Be careful not to burn yourself. See photo.
Step 3:
Load your syringe with ink. Hold the cartridge at 45 degree angle with drill hole facing upward. Insert the needle into the cartridge and fill slowly. See photo. DO NOT OVERFILL!!!
Step 4:
When the cartridge is filled you must seal the fill hole air tight. For best results use a drop of hot melt glue. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THIS SEAL BE AIR TIGHT!! Electrical tape or a glossy tape will work, but it tends to come loose with time. If it is not an air tight seal, the cartridge will drip. Use a drop of hot melt glue, smooth the drop of Hot Melt with your finger to form a perfect airtight seal.
Step 5:
After filling and sealing is complete, remove the tape from the exit port and the vent. Let the cartridge set on its side for 10 to 15 minutes so that any excess ink will drain off. Don't let the exit port or vent come into direct contact with any newspaper or paper towel, it will drain all the ink out of the cartridge. Clean the cartridge and reinstall in printer.
Note:
We do not recommend filling through the exit port, nor do we recommend pushing the ball into the cartridge, it causes leakage later on.
For extra syringes, needles, pony clamp or other tools please see our accessories page.
