How to Refill HP 564 Cartidge
- 1). Set the cartridge down on a work space covered with paper towels.
- 2). Fill the syringe with 4 ml of the appropriate color ink. If refilling more than just one 564 cartridge, be sure to use a different syringe for each color.
- 3). Turn the HP 564 cartridge so the bottom is facing up, and locate the ink fill hole on the underside.
- 4). Put on a vinyl glove, and place your finger to block ink from spilling from the fill hole.
- 5). Turn the cartridge back over, and peel back the label. Notice the vent hole underneath.
- 6). Insert the syringe needle into the vent hole, and slowly inject the ink. After the ink is injected, keep your finger over the fill hole for one additional minute to allow the ink to soak into the sponge inside the cartridge.
- 7). Place the cartridge in a bowl or cup that can tolerate a spill, and allow any excess ink to drip for about two minutes.
- 8). Insert the cartridge back in the printer, and run the cartridge through a print cleaning cycle, or print the pages provided in Resources. Keep in mind that all four cartridges need to be replaced before the printer will print anything.
