Refi ll instructions Lexmark No. 31 | No. 33 | No. 35 | No. 43
Please carefully read these instructions, before starting refi lling a cartridge. In order to avoid any soiling, always place a protective mat underneath the cartridge before starting the
refi lling 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 refi lling of cartridges
is made at your own risk. The refi lling 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 refi lled repeatedly.
Finally clean the area around the nozzles with a tissue,
until these are clearly visible. You may now insert the
refi lled 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 fi lled with the Photo & Cleaning Fluid provided
in our refi ll set, and 1/4 with the required colour of
ink. Finally mix the solutions by shaking vigorously
and proceed to fi ll 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.

The ink tanks provided need to be turned into syringes in
order to complete the refi lling 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
forefi nger and twist the injecting devise onto it, counter
clockwise. First remove the label from the upper side of the cartridge
und bore refi lling 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 refi lling, 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 fl ow 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.
