The dreaded blinking light, it happens to
best of us. Your school project is due in one hour or your boss wants a copy of latest business report on his desk as soon as possible, preferably before early morning meeting with president. The only problem is there?s no more ink left in your printer! Think about this: how much money have you spent over last year on replacing your empty ink cartridges?
If you need a stiff drink (or two!) after calculating total, you?re not alone! The prices of ink cartridges seem to cost more then printers themselves. So what is one to do?
A great solution is to refill your ink cartridge yourself. While it might sound complicated or difficult, it?s a lot easier than you might think. And cheaper, not to mention fact that it?s environmentally friendly. Though most households don?t use same amount of ink as businesses or schools do, everyone can benefit from savings. But what exactly is involved with ink refills? Well, let me tell you.
You can find an ink refill kit almost anywhere nowadays, especially at office supply stores. It is used to replace ink manually in an inkjet cartridge. It is a simple kit that includes ink bottles, syringes, and an air balance clip. You won?t need any other equipment other than what is given to you in kit, and of course empty ink cartridge. You might want to keep some scrap paper nearby as well, in case any ink drips.
Refilling your cartridge is easy and once you get hang of it, it shouldn?t take more than five minutes to do. Using syringe provided in kit, fill it with ink from ink bottles and then transfer ink to empty cartridge. It?s that easy. The air balance clip is used to balance air inside cartridge so that ink will flow properly. The kit comes with illustrated, easy to follow, instructions. Remember to keep some scrap paper handy in case any ink spills since ink stains are tough to get rid of.
