The step detail

Step 1 : Have the Refilling ink

Here in my place on 2008 October.
The price for each color cost about RM6 and can have about 5 shot.
refill 5 times I means.
I buy Black, Red, Blue, Yellow color 6x4=24.


p/s: For black should be not a problem in color choosing.
But for Red, Blue and Yellow. There's a chance the color is different in the original one.

Step 2 : Take out the Cartridge

Dun ask me how to take out the Cartridge.
The Cartridge code should be CL831 & PG830 by default

Step 3 : Make a 'Hole' at the Cartridge

You may wander "How to make the hole" and "Where should I make the hole"

How to make the hole
1. Use any means necessary.
2. Lucky for me, the re-filler i buy already provide the puncher

Where should I make the hole

Follow the picture.
Take off the sticker carefully.
You will see some ready made hole to be made.

Reminders

Don't ever touch the circled area

It's the important place of course.
One touch interrupt the circuit?

How much to refill?

Basically one bottle enough for 5 shot.
Its better to put less rather than full in the Cartridge since it might leak out or overflow.

One last note,
The printer does no measure the ink based n how much the ink left in the cartridge. But its count on how many time you use the printer.

This means,
1. It's not accurate
2. Once you refill, printer still telling you "Ink low"

Therefore, to solve this you need to reset the "ink counter" which is pressing the "Resume" button for 5 minutes.


Thats all,
Hope its useful... guess not
