my black ink is low. Do i need the clips to change or refill?

I use the refill kits for toner regularly. Unfortunately, you will need a reset chip every time you refill the toner. The cost is still considerably cheaper and the quality is not affected.

After refill, if error light on printer or printer does not print, then you need a new clip.

Yes, you will need to fit a new chip if you refill Samsung CLP-315 cartridges
1983697
you do need to change the chip on the cartridge and also make the refill. Inkowl sells toner refill kits for your printer on Amazon.

The existing chips will work for a little longer. You will need new chips to extend the cartridge life beyond an additional 50% or so.

there is a little black nub above the clip. you rotate the yellow cap around and match the 'refill' printing with the nub. then press the yellow cap down. It will now open the jaws wider and allow the refill and it's metal sleeve out and a new refill in.

I don't know, never had the need to do that. It is a nice pen and I like the fine black refill.

I Just replaced my black ink..Printer is ON, lift that large top lid... plus the part with CANON written on it...Both inks move to center...Once lid (top) is up you can plainly see both inks--Color's on left, black ink on right. Lift the old one out and once you have the new Black one in hand slip it into the black compartment--turn downward slightly and push gently into slot. Close lid, then lift the small lid on the right front of the printer/be sure it is turned to ON---green light shows. PRESS ON, OKAY and BLACK if it is a black refill you have replaced. Close top lid & allow printer to do its thing as it prepares that new cartridge for another few months. DONE.

I'm sorry to say I have not had the need to replace either red or blue ink refills yet since I use it more as a stylist. Sorry I could not be more helpful. Pat P.

Search google for how to refill (list your cartridge) there should be instructions.

No problems yet, but only one refill. Check to be sure that there is not ink on the chip at the bottom front of the cartridge or on the pins that make contact with the chip. Clean them with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol to see if that helps. As for the colors, try the cleaning function that was mentioned in another answer. You can also remove the print head to see if there is any spilled ink on those contacts. If all else fails and you are still missing colors, soaking the print head in Windex for a couple of days, then rinsing in water can help dissolve clogs.

You could also look for a local ink refiller. There's a store where I live that refills ink cartridges. It's very cheap and they put over 20% more ink in the cartridge than the manufacturers. (They don't fill them up.)

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.

Mine came with a converter which should alleviate the need for more disposable cartridges. If you don't have a converter and don't want to use one you can get a hold of a blunt tipped syringe and a bottle of ink and refill one of your empty disposable cartridges. You can get supplies of this type at gouletpens.com. Their accompanying blog has been a great source of information about fountain pens for me.

Its easy, take off the cap then just unscrew the bottom quarter of the pen. The refills are pretty common, ive got a fisher refill in mine.

This same company also sells ink refills. They carry pigment ink and dye ink, i have used both and don`t really see a difference.

Yes! You unscrew the internal part of the pen and screw in the new refill. They are pretty inexpensive as well.

I've had cartridges in my printer for two years and they are still effective when I need them. That said, do you have your settings to print black only & will your printer even recognize the cartridge when it is inserted with the tape on? You would still need to remove the Orange cap if you have a genuine canon cartridge. If you are buying a refill, then why even worry about the $3-4 you spent in it?
2277562
Yes you do, however be careful, the ink has a tendency to leak after the refills

Sorry, I answered wrong, no you dont have to open and twist until you empty the converter, it doesnt need presure or anything like that, it is simply, if the converter is emtpy, then you just put the tip of the pen in the ink bottle, then twist to refill, and that would be all, until the next refill.

You can purchase more of the cartridges online. You simply pull off the old cartridge and put the new one on just like you did the last one. If you intend to change colors, you should clean the pen first. This can do done by running water through the pen and letting it dry. Sometimes using a syringe can really help get it clean.
