How to Refill Ink in a Canon Pixma Printer (8 Steps)

1. Prepare for refilling by clearing an open space and protecting it against ink spills with newspaper or similar protective sheets.
2. Open the refilling hole on the top of the cartridges using a thumb drill. Only enlarge the hole wide enough so that it can accommodate the refilling syringe. The refilling hole is just above the U-shaped plastic ridge on the top of the cartridge.
3. Fill the 30cc syringe with 20ml of black ink and slowly inject it into the refill hole.
Refilling the Canon CL-41
1. Remove the paper label from the top of the cartridge.
2. Open the three refilling holes on the top of the cartridge using a thumb drill.
3. Fill the three 10cc syringes with 6ml of magenta refill ink.
4. Position the cartridge so that the raised ridge on the top of the cartridge looks like a 'U' shape.
5. Insert the syringe containing magenta ink into the refilling hole that is the farthest from the raised ridge and release the ink. Repeat the refilling with a different syringe with yellow ink in the hole to the top right of the ridge and a third syringe with cyan ink in the refill hole hole to the top left of the ridge.
