Do I need to reseal the hole with hot glue? I pierced it with the hand drill, small small hole and I'm sure the ink bubble will dry and seal the hole?

I made a small hole that only the needle can enter straight & covered it w/ the label sticker of the cartridge (the hole is beneath the sticker). You can use a simple tape glue (not liquid glue) or a sticker. I think it's better to do, as in time it drys fast.

I buy cheap transparent tape (NOT magic tape, it's impossible to get off) and tape over the holes on my Canon cartridges. Then I type the date I refilled them on a sticky mailing label and put the label over the tape. When it comes time to refill, I can peel the whole thing off. No mess.

I have life time refillable ink cartridges but I'm familiar with refilling printer brand ink cartridges. No you do not have to refill the holes unless the kit came with a rubber plug. In your case you said you used a hand drill so I assume you didn't have a kit. If the hole is just big enough for a toothpick it shouldn't be a problem but next time I recommend you use a kit or buy life time refillable ink cartridges.

The ink cartridges that I have have flexible plugs that I simply pull out before I refill them. I just pop them back in after refilling. I have never had to drill a hole in any cartridge, so I cannot speak from experience on that. I would guess that a tiny dab of caulking might be a better idea than hot glue due to the possibility of heat damage or permanent adhesion. You might even want to let a hunk of caulking dry on a looped twist tie (for a handle), then cut it into a plug (slightly larger than the holes for a snug fit). Consider putting plastic wrap between the plug & the cartridge to seal the edges and prevent the plug from falling into the cartridge. Happy engineering!

Leave it covered, it will be pierced when installed. However, I suggest you not install it in your printer, as it ruined my 4 in 1 printer upon insertion of the first cartridge.

Take the point and place ii in warm water with a bit of oil and leave it there for the night. Clean it next day fill your cartridge and turn the lever so the ink will flow to the point. From then on you should have no trouble.

It can cure it totally but it will take more time. It will all depend on how far away it is from the platen and how thick your ink is. If you are using it as your only source to cure ink, I'd recommend getting a heat reading gun to make sure the temperature hits 320. But really a conveyor dryer is the way to go when you're doing big quantities.

The best thing to do would be to google it. That is how I found out how to put ink in my HP Photosmart 7520. Mine was on the top under the tape. You can actually see the hole if you run your finger over the top of the cartridge. There should be a slight indentation. Then I just stuck the needle into it and put between 3.5 ml and 4.5 ml of ink. It will start dripping out when full. Make sure you have lots of paper towels at first. When you are done use a piece of tape on it to cover the hole.

I have used mod podge spray sealer on printer paper and laserjet printing with no problems. Just make sure your ink is completely dry before sealing!

This particular refill does require a hole to be made in the cartridge in order to refill it. You can either purchase the refill tool, or you can heat the blade of a utility knife and create a hole that way as well. We hope this was helpful. Please let us know if there are any further questions. Thank you -Laser Tek Services

Take out the ink cartridge, and put duct tape or electrical tape over the empty clear ink box .. Then put it back in

New way to fill; take out 2 screws from metal plate, slip one end of metal plate up carefully, see the reservoir, start slowly pouring in dry ink.shake to settle, pour more, repeat etc, got 90% in, set plate, insert screws, put in new chip, might have to restart computer It worked for mejust don't get in a hurry

I found out the HP printers have a code built in them that keeps you from being able to get them to work by refilling them, you would have to de-code that before trying it, if a repair can do this it should work. There are no instruction except what I have learned. You can try making a whole in top of the ink cartridge 1/16 drill bit then inject with a needle, only inject 1 cc don't over fill, if it don't work, it may have a code built in.

Ya, just make sure you let it dry.I takes a long time. I am not a huge fan of dippy pens but I have a set and if youre after a certain line it works. Im drawing "illuminated" letters w this ink. I did a calligraphy wall plaque too.its a hoot.Drives ppl nuts."Why do you have a blank paper on the wall?"

I use my own jar as well. Take the pen apart and inside is a clear cartridge looking thing. Make sure it is securely in the pen, just push down on it and if it doesn't move, should be fine. The thing at the top spins which makes a plunger lower and raise, spin the plunger all the way down. Dip the pen in the ink, I dip the entire head of the pen in, and then spin the plunger the opposite way so it raises. It should then suck the ink into the cartridge. My pen takes me 3 or 4 tries before it fills a decent amount, it does not fill it 100%, most I've got was half full.

You will need to seal the paper with several coats of some sort of sealant such as mod pudge first otherwise this product will soak through and ruin the paper. Hope this helps.

I used a hot glue gun without squeezing out glue & wallowed the holes out large enough for it to barely fit. Then used a crescent to grip the nipple4 & start screwing it into the hole.. The 1st one I thought I needed to keep tightening it & it broke. Lesson learned, tighten snug but it doesn't take much.. It worked!

I believe it comes with something so you can patch it up....if not you could go to a store and find something to cover the hole and find some glue.

Absolutely! If the bulk ink you bought didn't come with a large syringe and pointy needle you'll need one. Just insert the needle/syringe filled with ink into the top centrally located hole. It looks like a breathing vent of some kind filled with a cotton/fiber material covered with clear tape. It reseals almost completely after removing the needle. inject slowly to not create a lot of bubbles or foam. The tanks are semi-pressurized (I assume from the fill process) and helps load the smaller refill syringes faster. By pumping the new ink into the tanks through the vent hole in recharges that pressure too so you always have a nice fast fill. Absolutely!

I put 5-6 ml in, just to have the sponge absorb the ink. When the sponge absorbed that I put the ink port holder in place and filled it full. If you put any more in, as I did originally, ink leaks out the port pretty quickly. Let me know if you have any other questions!
