Step 1) Put the cartridge on some paper towels in an area where you can tolerate a spill.

Step 4) S-L-O-W-L-Y inject the ink into the sponge. If you inject the ink too fast it will foam inside the sponge and the air bubbles will cause lots of problems. Insert and withdraw the needle at different angles to expose the entire sponge to the ink.

Step 5) Set on a paper towel for an hour as a drip precaution. Expect a few drips -- If it doesn't drip, the ink is not ready to print. It is not necessary to seal the hole except during long storage and transportation.

To Clean the Printhead

Follow the directions in the printer manual.

To Clean Your Hands

The ink is water-soluble. Use plenty of soap and warm water. You may also need to use Comet or bleach if the stains persist.
