Thank you so much! I just bought the ink. I paid $15 for the syringes, black ink, and colors combined. The kit has 400 ml total of ink total (black, red, blue, and yellow combined). I have XL cartridges, and you said they can take up to 18ml of ink per refill. This means, even if we assume I have the largest capacity ink cartridges on the market, the pair would require 36 ml, meaning I will get at least 11 refills of both my color and black ink cartridges. This means I am paying at most $1.36 to refill both of my cartridges. The cheapest replacement cartridges I could find were $46 for the pair. This means I am saving at least $44.64 every time I use your method. You don't even charge for this information... I don't know why more people don't do this. Also: I don't know why this information would be useful because I'm not sure why you'd be watching this video if you didn't already have an ink cartridge. But if you buy remanufactured ink cartridges to start with, some already have the holes for you to inject more ink.

[@portfolio91]

Yeah, you need 1 cartridge to start with, otherwise there's nothing to refill. And, my Canon cartriges counted how many times they emptied and konked out after too many times... so I had to watch my ink levels and make sure they never emptied. PS: you'll waste some of that ink! Especially as you're a beginner.

[@katiejon17]

How’s refilling them yourself working?

[@AK4Uwolfen]

can you use the same ink as the continuous system printers??

[@lamrof]

$17, $21, $30 for a 15 year old printer per cartridge is criminal. They are pushing people for alternatives. Here is one. I gave this video one big enthusiastic thumbs up !

[@100xmorena]

By far the best video for changing the ink. Especially the color cartridge. Made life so much easier. Thank you for sharing.

[@noire1001]

It should be illegal for them to charge so much for ink. Every manufacturer does it and it should come under price fixing. People end up just throwing a printer away and buying a new one when it runs out as its cheaper... Its such a scummy practise.

[@kieonaw5495]

Super scummy, and one of the most unsustainable practices that capitalism encourages. To design things so that they need to soon be tossed and replaced just for the sake of cyclical consumption is called planned obsolescence. These companies don’t give a damn about us or the environment, their priority is to make a killing ($$$$$$).

@@alessandrosary1431 and Designer Obsolescence, in the case of perfectly good mobile phones that marketers have deemed for you, to be obsolete. iPhones are a classic for this. Even Samsung Android, after the upgraded software that we don't need, the new software overloads the older phone. So, we have to trot to the shop for a new phone. Sheeez.

I don't know why I haven't been doing this, my father refilled his ink cartridges, usually with good results. I counted all my old ink cartridges and found that I had spent nearly $600.00 over the last 5 years. Helpful video, thank you. That's four good videos out of Four, I believe that is a better average than any of the many channels that I watch. P.S I don't mean to be pedantic but you kept saying millimeters(a measure of length) instead of milliliters(a measure of volume).

OMG… It’s Not Millimeters (mm)! It’s Millilitres! (mL) it’s right there on the side of the syringe! You might add, in the 30 min. resting time, place the print head in a saucer of warm water. This will soften/remove and dried ink on the bubblejet nozzles. Any suggestions as to what ink is compatible with Canon ink since you didn’t remove any remaining Canon ink.
