How to refill HP 952, 953, 954, 955, 956XL Ink Cartridges

[@1-Mr.F.]

Worked perfectly. Cartridges did recognize that they were used before, but the printer still accepted them. The printer seems to think they are only half full, which maybe I didn't get them full but it sure felt like it. In any case the Ink Owl system worked well with minimal mess. Most of the mess was because of my inexperience. By the 2nd cartridge it was a lot better. Wear gloves like in the video and use an old towel to catch any splatter and wipe of the syringe. I would recommend. Nicely designed.

[@jglover3471]

Setting inside hp printers. Find memory and turn off the setting that tells the printer to remember past ink.

[@CHHELD_HC]

What is the make/brand of the Syringe?

[@larrysheltmire5358]

Just a point for clarification. The bag inside the ink cartridge does not hold ink. It holds air. The air bag expands to help push the ink out.

[@zsoltibitter8761]

really? wow this was the information i was looking for! i have taken apart one counterfeit cartridge and i was wondering how in the hell it could work. the hole which is connected to the printhead was a different hole from which was connected to the bag inside. and i was also wondering how the hell could the ink escape the bag. it was a real mistery because i have read words like "ink bag inside cartridge" so i have automatically thought that it holds ink. now it is clear. thank you

I bought set of 4 refilled cartridges. So I just inserter 1 by 1 and refill original and keep them to install when message apear replace new cartridges. Thanks

[@InkOwldotcom]

Correct, refill your originals and keep them aside! You must only replace the colors that are "depleted" and only when they become depleted.

[@ashokmallaiya1153]

I tried but still my printer 8210 says the cartridge is depleted, any guess how can I reset it ?

[@sergioruiz1902]

Hi Inkowl, nice video! Probably the most well done for this cartridge I seen so far. I haven't done the replacement or rotation. I have the hp 8710, firmware WBP2CN1803AR and i'm not sure if the rotation works in this specific printer since i assume the 954 is used on various models, I'm so mad at HP since I just runned out of cyan and then bought the original xl yesterday and as soon as I install it the yellow ran out! wtf! Not sure why i'm almost positive that ass soon as I replace the yellow the mageta will run out too. so back to my question what do you know about the 8710 and this firmware? thanks a lot regards, Sergio.

[@jglover3471]

Just fyi... If by chance you only have one cartridge or you pull it out before it is done and says that is depleted, it takes a few moments of your time but you can go into the settings of the printer itself and turn off the setting that tells it to remember the last cartridge

[@compgong4618]

How could I do this?

[@julianweiser9985]

Another channel suggests using a large syringe (100ml) and pulling on the syringe with ink in it (creating a vacuum) instead of pushing down. I had a little accident while using overpressure if you get what i mean.

[@tonysmyth9684]

Hi.Great Video and great advice.may I ask why the rotate between 2 cartridges is a necessity please

[@InkOwldotcom]

This is simply the way these printers were programmed. The exact protocol as described in the video will allow the printer to accept your refilled cartridges. If the protocol is not followed, the cartridges may end up rejected with various error messages.

[@ibrahimbadersawi5238]

i own hp 7740 printer. it works with 953 cartidge. i tried to order from your website. it only shows 952 cartidges. are they mathching? if you plz. some companies offer cartidges without chips, what they are used for? thank you in advance

[@InkOwldotcom]

The ink kit we sell will work with HP 953 as well, but the cartridges we sell will not work with HP 953. Cartridges without chip would require you to move the HP chip onto them to work. I definitely don't recommend this. I would recommend simply refilling the HP 953 cartridges you already own by following the instructions in this video. Note that it is mandatory to own 2 cartridges of each color and to alternate between them as explained in this video.

[@michaelwalsh3482]

I have bought some ink from you for 952XL cartridges to be used in an HP 8710 printer. After I remove a depleted cartridge and replace it with a refilled cartridge, I will then need to refill the depleted cartridge. Question 1). Do you have any recommendations on WHEN to refill a depleted cartridge? Should I refill it immediately and store it full ready for the next time that I'll need it, which might be 6 months in the future? Or should I store it in its depleted condition and not refill it until I need it, or shortly before? Background to Question 2) I have been caught a few times in the past by buying spare ink cartridges early and then not needed them until.about 12 months after I bought them, only to find that when I installed them 12 months later, they didn't work. It has just happened to me tonight. I had bought some refilled cartridges 13 months ago and when I needed the black one tonight it didn't work! The printer told me it was faulty and would not work. It was very frustrating. So, on to the question: Question 2) Suppose I remove a depleted cartridge (let's call it cartridge 1) and immediately replace it with a refilled one, cartridge 2. If I refill cartridge 1 soon after removing it, say in a few days to a week, can I then temporarily remove cartridge 2 and re-install the refilled cartridge 1 to check that it works, then remove cartridge 1 to store it until it is needed, and replace cartridge 2 back in the printer? This seems to me like a good way to test a refilled cartridge but it will violate twice the protocol step that you have given which tells me to never remove a cartridge until I get a "cartridge depleted" message. What would you advise? And for this scenario is your recommendation mild or strong? How important is it? Thank you.

[@InkOwldotcom]

1. There is no requirement on when your empty cartridge needs to be refilled. You may choose to fill only when it's time to reinstall, or you may choose to fill in advance to save time later, this is totally up to you! 2. Genuine HP cartridges, even if refilled, should always work, regardless of the length of time. Non-HP generic cartridges can be disabled by HP firmware updates. Every few months, HP will issue a software update to improve the printer's ability to detect non-HP cartridges and reject them with the "Cartridge Problem" message. Any generic cartridge manufactured before the time of the update but installed after the time of the update will not work. The industry is pretty quick at adapting to these updates, so within a few weeks, newly sold generic cartridges will work again, but any cartridge sold before the update will never work again. If you plan to use or refill non-HP generic cartridges, it is essential that you turn off automatic firmware updates on your HP printer. If you need assistance with that, please contact our tech support directly as you are our customer. Note that refilling genuine HP cartridges (using the protocol described in this video) will never be affected by firmware updates. To answer your main question, no, you should absolutely not test the cartridges in the manner you describe. This protocol as described in the video is absolutely essential, or else the printer will give you an "Impossible to Use" message with the refilled cartridges down the road. If you are refilling genuine HP cartridges, testing cartridges in advance is unnecessary, as the cartridges really should work. If a refilled genuine HP cartridge gives an error message, there is always a blatant reason (either the priming step was skipped for "Cartridge Depleted" or the refill protocol was not followed for "Impossible to Use"). If the cartridges you are refilling are generic non-HP cartridges, then a firmware update may have disabled them giving a "Cartridge Problem" error, but provided you have turned automatic updates, you'd be on the same firmware version now as you would be upon installation, so testing them in advance changes nothing.

[@ferasshabaneh9743]

I have a question about step 2: removing the internal ink bag 1:28 After following all the steps, there’s no mention of putting back the internal ink bag after refill. Do we just throw it out and not worry about it? Or do we actually need to insert it back as it was prior to step 2? Thanks

[@InkOwldotcom]

In step 2, we're not actually removing the bag, we're simply emptying it with the syringe to make room for the ink that we will soon inject.

[@zsoltibitter8761]

@@InkOwldotcom my logic says you only make under pressure by sucking out the air through refill hole so you can fill it with ink. since the bag inside is not ink bag but air bag (somebody wrote it here and i believe him because i have taken apart a counterfeit cartridge and i can confirm), if you wanted to suck the air out of bag then you had to use a different hole for it because the bag is not connected with space where ink is located and is accessible through different hole. so i dont believe the explanation is correct. but i might be wrong too. So i would appreciate some response what do you think

[@100vg]

I have an HP OfficeJet Pro 9015, which I'm sure you have a refill kit for. Another ink supplier's "how to" video showed that the 9015 will no longer the display the ink amount onscreen, in the Printer Status page, or in HP Smart. He also said, "You Must turn Off Auto Updates or HP may 'shut you down!'." Does your ink and refill procedure allow for normal operation, including all ink level indications, everywhere, and the low and depleted warning notifications? Does it allow for leaving Auto Updates On? His did not show sucking the air out of the cartridge and it was not mentioned. Not that I'm disputing it here! Also, someone in comments said, _"The bag inside the ink cartridge does not hold ink. It holds air. The air bag expands to help push the ink out."_ Is this correct and does the bag still expand to push the ink to print head? If your procedure sucks out air, then that would seem to be from the ink bag, with maybe an air bag behind that expands as the ink bag empties. Which is correct? And if while continuing to press ink in with the syringe, air gets pushed in because the pump was pushed too far or the syringe wasn't removed quickly enough, is there a "Burping" procedure to do? Or does the Priming do that? You removed about 4 cc/ml during Prime. Is it necessary to take that much out? His didn't show that (only mentioned it as a possibility), so your procedure looks more complete. Please answer all question. Thanks

[@InkOwldotcom]

The HP 962 cartridges as used in the HP 9015 printer are refilled exactly the same as the HP 952 shown in this video. This includes the whole refill protocol with switching between cartridges: 1. Never remove a cartridge unless DEPLETED. 2. Install and use a DIFFERENT (and full) cartridge in the place of the depleted one. To answer your questions: The ink levels are not displayed when using refilled cartridges. You will instead see a blank bar. However, since you must never remove a cartridge unless depleted (and you get the "Cartridge Depleted" message) regardless, seeing exact ink level indications is not really important. Simply print and print until the printer gives you the "Cartridge Depleted" message, at which point, remove the affected cartridge, and refill and install your alternate. HP's software updates can affect the use of generic (non-HP) cartridges. They will not affect the refilling of genuine HP cartridges. If the cartridges you will be refilling are all genuine HP, you do not need to change the Auto Update settings. The priming step indeed removes all trapped air from the ink chamber. As you inject, air pressure naturally builds in the chamber. As shown in our video, you have to hold the syringe in place but release the plunger, and it will automatically recoil to relieve some of that pressure. Of course, it will not relieve it all, hence why we include a priming step in our instructions. The inclusion of this step yields much more reliable results from the refill. During priming, you will hold the cartridge with the exit hole facing upwards and suck out. There is no set amount to suck. Instead, suck until you see actual liquid has exited into the syringe. At that point, stop, and you can put the extracted ink back into your bottle, and install the newly refilled cartridge.

Hi, I am intending to buy HP Office Jet Pro 8210 Printer which supports 953/954/955 Cartridges. Will this process of switching cartridges after depleting work on this printer as well?

Yes, the method as described in the video will work.

[@Reonan404]

Is the reason we need 2 cartridges to prevent damage to the printer?

[@InkOwldotcom]

You need 2 cartridges of each color because if you refill and use only 1, the printer will give you an error message "Cannot use refilled ink cartridges" and the cartridge will be disabled. Alternating between 2 cartridges as explained in the video is the only way to refill this printer successfully.

[@julianweiser9985]

I was told for the 963, the printer has a memory for too many cartridges, making them useless if the depleted message was displayed.

[@InkOwldotcom]

For 963 cartridges, you need to follow the refill protocol as follows: - Never remove any cartridge unless it's marked as "Depleted". Even still, remove only the color that is depleted. - Install a DIFFERENT, FULL cartridge in the place of the one you just removed. It doesn't matter if this new one is refilled or brand-new, so long as it's filled and it's not the cartridge you just finished removing. - As for the cartridge you just removed, you can store it for a refill next time. You'll need 2 cartridges of each color to make this work, of course.

Hi Owl, I don't understand why it needs two cartridges for this to work. Can I just refill an empty cartridge and then put it back to the printer?

[@InkOwldotcom]

Unfortunately, this is the way that HP programmed these printers. If you just refill the same cartridge and put it in, it will be rejected with the "Impossible to Use Continuous Ink System" message. You absolutely must do the following: - Never remove any cartridge from the printer until it is marked as "Cartridge Depleted". Even so, remove just the color that is marked depleted, not all 4. - Always install a DIFFERENT and FULL cartridge in the place of the one you just removed. This new cartridge could be brand-new HP or it could be a refilled cartridge, but the important thing is that it have ink inside and not be the same out that was just taken out. The cartridge that was just taken out can be set aside for a future refill.

[@InkOwldotcom]

Hi, this video and the stuff about 2 cartridge sets being required does not apply to the MFC-J6930DW. However, that being said, the answer to your question is that no, you can't really refill the original Brother cartridge reliably, and so refillable cartridges are highly recommended, if not obligatory. Unfortunately, we don't carry the LC3317/3319 series cartridges for AUS/NZ, so you'd need to obtain them from a local source.

The issue is I cannot use the instant ink set, to depletion, since I don't subscribe to the service. It doesn't work.

[@InkOwldotcom]

This doesn't work, "Instant Ink" cartridges cannot be refilled or used as part of this rotation precisely because they are subscription based. Installing the Instant Ink cartridge without being a member does not work for the purpose of enabling the refill. You absolutely need a minimum of 2 cartridges of each color, either HP store-bought or aftermarket is fine.

I am trying to understand a few things. These questions have been asked before but i did not understand the answer. Question 1 - Once I refill and insert my cartridge, the printer will show an error that it is not genuine ink or stuff like that. Now if the pages are still printing fine after that message, but the ink levels never show up correctly, how will i ever know when is the next time it gets depleted and needs refilling? Do i just guess or will the printer show when the refilled ink cartridge depletes again? Question 2 - Some folks mentioned trying to disable the printer cartridge id detector so that it will not detect that i reinstalled the same cartridge with refilled ink. This will prevent me from buying another $100 set of cartridges from HP. Do you know if this is possible and if there is a video on youtube showing us how to do that? In case it is not possible to disable read cartridge id, can i use a set of cartridges that i own that are not from HP but a third party ones? Thank you!

[@InkOwldotcom]

To answer your questions: 1. When the refilled cartridge is first installed, you will get a message that the cartridge is a used cartridge, but other than that, there are no error messages. The ink levels do not show up, but the "Cartridge Depleted" message will show up at the appropriate time (the printer has a sensor that detects when the ink flow is terminated). Since you must never remove cartridges from the printer unless depleted, simply print and print and print until you get the "Cartridge Depleted" message. 2. We've never heard of any kind of override to disable the ink cartridge chips or any of that. To our knowledge, the only way to refill these printers is to own at least 2 of each color cartridge, using each cartridge until depleted, and always installing a different cartridge than the one you just took out. It is possible to use and refill generic cartridges, and we also sell generic cartridges too, along with our refill ink.

To avoid this kind of message, it's essential to strictly follow the protocol for refilling this model. Definitely highly inconvenient that HP made it this way on these models. - Run your cartridge A until completely depleted, and the (-) symbol appears and you can no longer print anything - Run your cartridge B until completely depleted - Refill and run your cartridge A until depleted - Refill and run your cartridge B until depleted, and so on

Jared, it gave you the "continuous ink system" message mid-print right? You did indeed use the 2 sets of cartridges, alternating between the two. Because if you do just refill your one cartridge, it works for a while (about halfway in fact) and then kills the cartridge with the message.

[@Ucceah]

you can circumvent a lot of that buggery, by changing some setting in the service menu, that simply disables the printer from remembering cartridges' IDs. but IMHO it's still wirth it to invest 15-20us$ in a set of WB-V4-H-951XL carts, (or ~10 for a set of empty ones), because they scome with self resetting chips and hold 3 times as much ink as legit HP950 carts.

[@InkOwldotcom]

The factory carts are refillable, following the instructions in the video. I would advise against these printers though. To refill them successfully, you absolutely need to own 2 sets of HP 952 cartridges! So, you have to buy not only a printer, but a second set of cartridges too, a very expensive proposition. I would recommend a Brother or Canon printer instead.

[@OCFNetwork]

Hi, I have refilled the SETUP cartridges but I missed the step 5, refilled cartridges showed up as Depleted when inserted and now I get ''Used, Refilled or Counterfeit" in the app, without ink level. Also, the ink is dye-based and print quality is not very good so I'm gonna order pigment ink, what can I do next? 1. Should I remove the ink (that I put) from the SETUP cartridges and refill them with pigment ink and reinsert the same cartridges? 2. Should I fill my depleted 953XL cartridges with pigment ink and replace the SETUP ones, or something else?

[@InkOwldotcom]

Indeed, if you skip the priming step (step 5 in our video), the cartridges will be rejected. Dye-based ink is of course also not ideal. You really want to be using a pigment-based ink designed specifically for these printers. In any case, you must also never remove cartridges unless and until they are marked as "Depleted". As such, if your SETUP ones are in there now with the dye ink, removing them now will render them un-refillable in the future. Therefore, my recommendation would be to remove them and throw them away, and replace them with a brand-new set of cartridges. Once these cartridges go depleted (and just for the specific color that's depleted of course), you could take your spare 953XL, refill with pigment ink, and install.

[@bobbobby1412]

Can BOTH cartridges be starter cartridges? I hate to say it but it is cheaper just to buy a second printer than a set of second cartridges.

[@InkOwldotcom]

Unfortunately, starter cartridges can only be used in the printer they came with. The printer won't accept a starter cartridge that was for another machine, even of the same model. You're right that these extra cartridges are expensive. However, the second set of cartridge doesn't have to be original HP, it can be a generic compatible set, it makes no difference. That being said, if you haven't bought this HP printer yet, you'd be better off looking for a model more conducive to refilling.

I would rather that my second set of cartridges was genuine HP as my experience with aftermarket cartridges is that they streak and generally print poorly.

Very important: once a cartridge is depleted, you must install the second cartridge, but only for that color. The printer will not read the ink levels and will warn you at installation that this is a Used Ink Cartridge, but other than that, no errors should occur.

You can refill indefinitely, but you absolutely do need to swap. When a cartridge reads "Depleted", refill and install your other cartridge, set your first cartridge aside for next time. If you refill the same cartridge over and over without swapping, the printer will reject the refilled cartridge with an "Impossible to Use Continuous Ink System" message.

[@fadilm.8467]

A question pls, How will using universal ink be detrimental here?

[@InkOwldotcom]

Universal-type inks are normally dye-based for the colors, and this is not good in this model because all 4 colors are pigment-based on these printers. The mixture of pigment and dye ink in the cartridge and in the printhead unit can result in print quality issues.

Thanks, I hope my question is understood. Do you ship to chile?

[@InkOwldotcom]

The technique is the same for HP 964, completely identical. Provided that you follow the protocol (always using a cartridge until depleted, any always installing a different cartridge in its place), you will be able to refill indefinitely. We do ship to Chile normally, but right now with COVID, only with UPS which is expensive. Therefore, I recommend finding an ink supplier locally for now.

I am in Ghana how can I get the refilling kits

[@gobananas1620]

My 8715 with starter cartridges does not get to "depleted". They have the yellow triangle and the printer will only allow printing in black even though the magenta and black have ink and the cyan and yellow both have yellow triangles. How do I get them to be depleted so I can refill them for the first time? Thank you

[@Anuxr]

It worked! But the printer shows it as an empty cartidge, nevertheless it's printing... Any help?

[@InkOwldotcom]

It is normal that the printer not display any ink level. This is not a problem since you need to print until the cartridge is fully depleted, in any case. Keep in mind that to refill this model successfully, you must never remove the cartridge from the printer unless it is marked as depleted. Then, and only then, remove the color indicated and install a different cartridge (refilled) in its place.

[@Anuxr]

[@XxARMOxX123]

Would this still work in 2020 with the HP 8710 - 952 cartridge with the method you mention in the video? I worry a firmware has been added by the High Price (HP) company to prevent this alteration of cartidges as well? It;s going to cost me almost $100 CAD to order this, so want to make sure it is going to work.

[@InkOwldotcom]

HP's firmware updates don't affect the ability to refill original HP cartridges. So long as you own 1 spare set of cartridges plus the ones currently in your printer, you can refill successfully.

[@jon__doe]

After reading a few comments it's clear you might want to include the reason for the two cartridges in your video. You could also include the best way to buy your ink -also- (tried to fix it and made it worse..) in both the video and your comments... just a thought My question is this: I have two of these printers (one at home, one in my classroom) and as a teacher I find myself printing quite a bit. Can I refill an empty from one printer and use it in the other? Essentially rotating an extra set between two printers.

[@InkOwldotcom]

Yes, these printers allow rotation between multiple machines. The important thing is never to put the same cartridge in twice in a row. Always wait for the cartridge to be "Depleted" before removing it, and remove only the color that is marked "Depleted".

If ever you need to clean the printhead manually, you can just remove the entire printhead unit cartridges and on. See: support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04985129

[@meitetsusai3787]

[@privateconfidential7490]

Please let me know if I need to replace the cardridge chip? I was told by a refill service that chip needs to be replaced only done by OME?

[@InkOwldotcom]

It is not necessary to replace the chips if you follow the protocol explained in the video. You need to own more than one set of cartridges. You need to leave the cartridges in the printer until the "Cartridge Depleted" message appears. At that time, you'll remove ONLY the color that is marked depleted, and you'll install a DIFFERENT, FILLED cartridge in its place. And then, continue in this manner, always installing alternate cartridges, never the same one twice in a row.

[@michelleblackburn7755]

How to I store the syringe for the next use? do I rinse it with water/acetone or do I leave be until the next time? Please help! Thank you very much!

[@InkOwldotcom]

You'll want to rinse the syringe out with water and then let it dry completely. Once dried completely, it is safe to re-use again with ink.

[@keithencapera8097]

I understand the "rotation process"; but I was wondering what will happen if I removed ALL of the cartridges instead of just the "depleted one" and replaced them with 4 filled ones (non original HP)?? I am assuming nothing will occur- that is, until I tried to replace that filled set (or just one cartridge of it) with another non HP filled set (or individual cartridge) at that time I may get a system shut down status. But if I replaced them with original HP refilled cartridges, (or single cartridge) then nothing should happen; and then I could start all over again with the "normal" rotation system, this time replacing only the single cartridge that is depleted, regardless if is HP or not ----- Is this correct?

[@InkOwldotcom]

The error will happen when you attempt to use a refilled cartridge that was originally removed before depletion, you will get a "Impossible to Use Continuous Ink System" message. You must only refill cartridges that were fully depleted when originally removed. The easiest way to guarantee this is by only removing the single color that is affected whenever you get a "Depleted" message, never all 4.

[@certifiedsafety2807]

I noticed through reading the comments you Don't reccomend the purchase of the HP Office Jet Pro 8740 because the ink is not made to be refillable. Do you have a reccomendation for a printer that is similar and easy to refill?

[@InkOwldotcom]

Yeah, this series is expensive to refill because on top of buying the printer, it's mandatory to get a 2nd set of cartridges (see the video). BROTHER printers (ie: MFC-J4420DW) are generally the best for refilling and are much less expensive too.

[@sonyvalencia]

I have instructions to refill the hole in the middle with the ink I purchased, and not the exit port like you show in your video. They gave me a drill, and rubber plugs to seal the hole. Which is the correct way?

[@InkOwldotcom]

There are a couple of ways to do it, no one way is the right way. This is just the way that we developed and prefer, and this is how instruct our customers to do it, we provide them with the special tips that hermetically connect to the exit port. One thing is for sure, you have to follow the steps of waiting for cartridge #1 to be totally empty, then using cartridge #2 until it is totally emptied, and then refilling and using cartridge #1 until empty, then refilling and using cartridge #2 until empty, and so on and so forth.

[@sonyvalencia]

Thank you very much for letting me know!

[@mattlam9569]

why do I need an alternative cartridge? why can not I just refill the original one? is there a reason?

[@InkOwldotcom]

Unfortunately, this is the way these HP printers were designed. If you refill and reuse the same cartridge, the printer will reject it with the "Impossible to Use Continuous Ink System" message. The only way to refill this series successfully is using the method of switching cartridges described in the video.

[@beatrizalonso9162]

Hello, I’ve been searching about cartridges for my HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 (bought last May 2021). While on other webs they offered no refill solution for 953 cartridges, the product description on this video does. So, could I use your refill pack with the starter cartridges that came with my printer (again the pro 7740) and another set for sure ?? I mean I live in Spain so I would have to pay for international shipping and taxes therefore I would rather be sure than sorry. Also, do you offer any warranty or policy in case there is any problem? Thank you in advance and nice video 👍🏼

[@InkOwldotcom]

This method absolutely works for HP 953 cartridges. You can certainly refill if you have your starter set plus a 2nd set. As explained in the video, you must: - Never remove any cartridge from the printer unless you get the message "Cartridge Depleted" (unsure of the exact wording in Spanish). However, if you can still print, then it is not yet depleted! When the cartridge is depleted, remove only the color that is marked as "Depleted", not all 4. - Always install a DIFFERENT and FULL cartridge in the place of the one you just removed. You cannot refill and install the same cartridge you just removed, you must install a different one. Once installed, leave it and use it up naturally. Your first cartridge can be set aside for a future refill. We do offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on our inks. However, returning the products from Spain may be a bit tricky. That said, so long as the refill protocol above is followed precisely, the refills will be accepted. Worst case, if a mistake is made and the printer rejects the cartridge, the ink can still be recovered for use next time.

[@SS-mf6jn]

does it work for HP OfficeJet Pro 9015e printer? Did a search and some info says its firmware will not allow anything other than original hp cartridges, but this refill will be using hp cartridges so would it work?

[@InkOwldotcom]

Firmware updates can block non-HP generic cartridges, but they will not block the refilling of original HP cartridges. So, this technique still works. Of course, it's essential to NEVER remove cartridges from the printer until the printer forces you to with the message "Cartridge Depleted", and then, to always install a DIFFERENT, FULL cartridge in the place of the one you removed.

[@facubiskupovich]

Sorry, my printer is configured in Spanish and the message that appears is: the content of the hp cartridge has been exhausted. Use only this cartridge if you think it is not depleted. What should I do? change the cartridge now? Thank you

[@facubiskupovich]

Mi printer is hp 7740

[@InkOwldotcom]

No, you can use the cartridge, if you refilled it.

[@squishybadger8704]

so i can not just use one set of cartage? i need to buy two set in order to refill it?

[@InkOwldotcom]

That is correct. If you remove and refill the same cartridges, the printer will eventually reject it with an "Impossible to Use" message.

[@feliciaakpunku4607]

Should we be refilling both, or is one of the cartridges just supposed to be used as a placeholder?

[@InkOwldotcom]

You need to refill both cartridges and actually use both cartridges in sequence. So when cartridge #1 goes depleted, refill and use cartridge #2. Then, when it goes depleted, refill and use cartridge #1, and so on...

[@michaelburton3746]

Hello, I purchased your product and followed all directions. I am using the ink that came with the printer but I have 2 of them. They say "Instant Ink Ready" on both cartridges. After refilling the error message I get is: "Only one set of Instant Ink Ready cartridges can be used in a printer. Remove and replace with other cartridges." Do you know if there any way around this or maybe the Instant Ink Ready is not the normal starter ink?

[@InkOwldotcom]

Hmm.. Aren't the "Instant Ink Ready" cartridges the normal starters that come in the printer box? If that's the case, then indeed the printer will only accept the ones from its own box and a separate set of store-bought cartridges will be needed.

[@PsychoPixy222]

@@InkOwldotcom Both printers bought bran new 8610 and 8710 were both "Instant Ink Ready" which I found out the hard way means you don't get original cartridges you get the Instant Ink ones instead. That way they force you into buying Instant Ink or force you to buy more product to get your original product working. It's insane.

[@posadasfernando]

Using 2 cartridges is 100% secure that the printer will not kill the cartridges? And the printer will accept the refilled cartridges everytime I refill them? Please answer my question. I want to buy a printer that uses this kind of cartridges.

Yes, this is correct. The printer will always accept refilled cartridges, so long as you use 2 sets in alternation, as described in the video. However, I warn you that purchasing this printer and then a 2nd set of cartridges is very expensive! You would save a lot of money by simply buying a printer that can be refilled without restrictions.

What is the exact error message for the black cartridge? If you are getting a "Cartridge Problem" message, then this relates to the actual cartridge chip, and you will need to deal with that with your remanufactured cartridge vendor, particularly if you've not yet refilled the black cartridge.

[@theaangeles1525]

Hi why after refill the system says it is still depleted? Thanks

[@InkOwldotcom]

There are two possible reasons for a refilled cartridge to show depleted: - You have reinstalled the cartridge you just removed. You must own a minimum of 2 cartridges of each color and you must alternate between them, so for example if your 1st yellow ran "depleted", you must now refill and install your 2nd yellow. You will save the 1st yellow for next time. - The other possible reason is that the priming step in the refill instructions was not done (2:27 to 2:53 in the video). If you bought these products from us and require support, do not hesitate to contact us directly.

[@nidmir8335]

If i have only 1 set , can i still refill and reset the printer ?

[@InkOwldotcom]

These cartridges are very new to the industry. Starter cartridges hold 38mL of black or 13mL of color. Thanks for purchasing from us! Please remember to wait until the cartridge is depleted before switching for your second cartridge, and then to wait until that second one is depleted before switching to your first refilled cartridge. At this time, no prefilled cartridges are available due to the lack of aftermarket chips. When the Chinese chip makers will succeed at reverse-engineering the chip design, the cartridges will quickly be made available!

[@Don_key89]

thankyou Ink Owl!! your videos and website are all very useful, i do not need to deplete the air within the bag internally with the syringe as ive seen in other youtube videos

[@InkOwldotcom]

We eliminate any pressure before filling in Step 1 (1:16), this step not super important, but is ideal to avoid problems filling. Then, after the filling, we prime the cartridge in Step 5 (2:32), this step is absolutely required for the cartridge to work, so do not skip it.
