Important - Read through all of the instructions thoroughly before starting the filling process.
Cleaning: If the cartridge Exit/Egress Port filament is very dry or caked with ink it is recommended to soak the
cartridge for about 10-15 minutes. Place the cartridges in a plastic tub with the Exit/Egress Port facing down on a
few layers of paper towels that are saturated with the Yellow Rinse Solution (#JIR99). Then centrifuge for at least
10 minutes with the cartridge lying flat and the Exit Port facing out. Air dry overnight, and then the cartridge will be
ready to fill.

Refill Process Selection

The HP 564, 920, and 935 Regular Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow cartridges are filled through the Air Vent Port. The
reservoir on the 564 and 920 is sealed off, and cannot be used. The 935 has no reservoir. For these cartridges
use Refill Process #1 on Page 4.
The HP 564, 920, 934 Standard Black, and all the 564XL, 920XL, 934XL, and 935XL cartridges will be filled
through the Reservoir Fill Port. For these cartridges use Refill Process #2 on Page 6.

1. Weigh the cartridge to assess whether or not the

cartridge is empty (see the Weight Chart on
Page 3).
Important: Always start with an empty cartridge. If
already empty go to Step 3.
2. Use a centrifuge (2800 to 3200 rpm) to extract any
liquid remaining in the cartridge for at least 10
minutes, by placing the cartridge flat with the Exit
Port facing out.
3. If you are replacing the OEM label with a
Remanufactured Label then use a heat gun, or
equivalent to help loosen the adhesive, and pull to
remove the label.

4. Take the 18g needle (#1904S) and attach to the

60ml syringe (#1952).
5. Fill the syringe with the listed ink and ink amount on
the Weight Chart on Page 3.
6. Locate the Air Vent Port (see Figure 1). If you have
not removed the label, then to find the hole, just
follow Air Vent Channel from the Inlet on top of the
cartridge to a round indent under the label (all of this
can be seen as an impression through the label).
See Figure 2.
7. Push the needle through the hole in the center of
the circle about 3/4 to 1 inch depth. This hole is the
Air Vent Port. See Figure 3.

Caution: DO NOT overfill the cartridges, because

this may cause the cartridge to leak. Follow all
instructions, especially the designated filling
amount.
8. Slowly inject the ink into the sponge (about 2
seconds per milliliter), so it can effectively push out
the air, and fill the lower section of the sponge
without causing air pockets to form.
9. Once the syringe has been emptied into the
cartridge remove the needle.
10. Let the cartridge rest for about 30 minutes with the
Exit/Egress Port facing down. Then clean as
needed.

11. Replace the label if removed with a

Remanufactured Cartridge label to seal the air
vent channel and the rest of the top of the cartridge.
If you are not removing the OEM label then seal the
puncture hole for the Air Vent Port using the Plug
Cover (#1911, the round black label).
See Figures 4 and 5
12. Seal the Air Vent Channel Inlet using the Red Pull
Label (#4753). See Figures 1 and 6.
Caution: You must cover the entire opening with a
little overlap. Also, press to fit the label to all uneven
surfaces.

13. Seal the Exit/Egress Port using either the Small

Orange Cap (#1813-OR), or the Large Orange Cap
(#1814-OR). See Figure 7.
14. If you have a replacement chip then follow the chip
installation instructions that come with the chip. See
the list of available chips on the Weight Chart on
Page 3.
Caution: To prevent damage to the chip follow
common ESD safety procedures. For detailed ESD
information on the web go to:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic discharge
Caution: While installing the chip be careful not to
squeeze the sides of the cartridge, because this
may cause the ink to leak out of the cap.
15. Place the finished cartridge (see Figure 8) into an
Anti-Static Bag (such as #1900). See Figures 9.
16. Seal the bag using the Impulse Sealer (such as
#2118).
See Figure 10.
17. Then place the bagged cartridge into a box (such as
#4942). Create your own label to place on the
outside of the box. See Figure11.

1. Weigh the cartridge to assess whether or not the

cartridge is empty (see the Weight Chart on
Page 3).
Important: Always start with an empty cartridge. If
already empty go to Step 3.
2. Use a centrifuge (2800 to 3200 rpm) to extract any
liquid remaining in the cartridge for at least 10
minutes, by placing the cartridge flat with the Exit
Port facing out.
3. If you are replacing the OEM label with a
Remanufactured Label then use a heat gun, or
equivalent to help loosen the adhesive, and pull to
remove the label. If not, use a razor blade to cut
away the label above the Fill Port (a round circular
area beneath the label). See Figure 12 and 13.
4. Remove the Ball Plug using a pick tool, or use the
Ball Plug Removal tool (#1110). Do this by pressing
the screw end of the tool into the center of the ball
plug with a little pressure, and turning clockwise to
thread the screw in. Then when you have threaded
the screw in about 3 or 4 rotations pull back on the
tool to extract the ball plug. See Figure 14 and 15.

Caution: Be careful not to damage the sides of the

hole while doing this, because this could cause a
leak.
5. Insert the Injection Plug, nipple side first, into the Fill
Port (#1916). The top of the plug should be level
with the top surface of the cartridge. See Figure 16.
Note: The injection plug is a replacement for the
ball plug. Unlike the ball plug though, which only
seals the port, the injection plug allows you to insert
a needle through it and fill the cartridge. After
removing the needle the plug will seal itself.
Caution: These plugs are designed to be self
sealing for only one refill. Any subsequent usage
may cause the seal to leak.
Continue on to the Caution at the top of Page 7.

Caution: DO NOT overfill the cartridges, because this

may cause the cartridge to leak. Follow all instructions,
especially the designated filling amount.
6. Fill syringe with correct amount of ink for the
cartridge to be filled, and attach the needle.
Caution: Use an 18 gauge needle only.
Note: The fill amounts are listed on the Weight
Chart on Page 3.
7. Carefully push the needle about 1/2 through the
plug. Hold the cartridge with the Exit Port up and
slowly inject ink (about 2 seconds per milliliter) until
reservoir is almost full. See Figures 17, 18, and the
note below.

Figure 17

Figure 19

Figure 21

Figure 22

Note: You can fill about 40 or 50% of the ink in the

syringe to accomplish Step 7 (40% for the smaller
capacity cartridges, and 50% for the larger).
8. Tilt the cartridge so the remaining air can exit out of
the tank through the Internal Port, and into the
sponge, as you fill the remaining space in the
reservoir with ink (inject about 25% of ink remaining
in the syringe). See Figure 19.
9. Rotate the cartridge 90, and continue to fill slowly
so the ink begins to fill into the sponge (inject about
50% of ink remaining in the syringe). See Figure 20.
10. Rotate 90 again, so that the cartridge is now
upright. Continue filling slowly until the syringe is
empty. See Figure 21.
Note: When a cartridge is filled correctly, and with
the right amount of ink, it will maintain the
hydrophobic area at the top of the sponge. This will
assist in the proper function of the cartridge once
installed in the printer.
11. Hold plug in place using a small pair of needle-nose
pliers (or fingernail), while extracting the needle.
See Figure 22.
Caution: If the plug comes out press it back in
place immediately.
Let the cartridge rest for about 30 minutes with the
Exit/Egress Port facing down. Then clean as
needed.
Note: Seal the cartridge before replacing the chip
and packaging. Make sure that you press to fit each
label seal, especially where there are uneven
surfaces.

12. Seal the Fill Port using the Plug Cover (#1911, the
round black label). Figure 23

13. Seal the Air Vent Channel Opening using Red Pull
Label (#4753). See Figures 12 and 24.
Caution: You must cover the entire opening with a
little overlap. Also, press to fit the label to all uneven
surfaces.
14. Seal the Exit/Egress Port using either the Small

installation instructions that come with the chip. See
