How to Refill Primera Ink Cartridges

Primera Ink cartridges, like all other cartridges, run dry eventually. In the past you had no choice but to go to the store and purchase another expensive cartridge. Now Primera owners can refill their cartridges at home.

Things You'll Need

• Primera ink cartridge
• Primera ink refill kit
• Paper towel

Instructions

1. Purchase a refill kit from an electronics store. These come in black only, color only and combination packs. This pack will consist of a series of inks and an injector that will allow you to refill your Primera ink cartridges.

2. Extract your ink cartridge or cartridges from the printer and clean them off. There will be a small amount of excess ink leakage, so set the cartridge on a thick padding of paper towel in order to soak up the remainder and keep your hands clean.

3. Fill your ink syringe up with the first color. This can be done by forcing the syringe's plunger completely down and dipping the tip into the ink. Slowly pull the plunger up until it is completely filled with ink.

4. Remove the label on the Primera cartridge to reveal the air holes. Carefully place the tip of the syringe in the appropriate hole. If you are refilling color cartridges, make sure you apply the correct color to the matching ink tank. Push the plunger down until the ink tank is completely full.

5. Pour left over ink in the syringe back into the ink from your kit in order to refill your cartridge again. Thoroughly clean the syringe with soap and water. Insert the clean syringe into the remaining colors, if you are refilling a color cartridge and repeat the steps necessary for filling your Primera cartridge until all three tanks are full.
