Refill Instructions for DeskJet Ink Cartridges
The HP DeskJet printers use a few different ink cartridges such as #60, #75 and #40. All the HP DeskJet refill instructions are the same, though the ink amounts may be slightly different. The HP ink refill kits will come with everything that you need to fill the cartridge up to ten times. It should only take about 15 minutes to complete the refilling process.

Insert the needle into the fill hole and slowly push down on the plunger. As the ink is dispensed, you may see some ink oozing out of the hole. Stop filling and wipe up the excess ink with a damp cloth. If the cartridge was not completely empty, it will take less ink. Fill each color fill hole with the correct color.
