How to Refill an Epson R200 (7 Steps)

1. Place the cartridge on the chip resetter. Make sure the metal leads on the chip are aligned with the metal leads on the resetter. Remove the cartridge after the resetter LED flashes green.
2. Set the cartridge on a flat surface over some paper towels to absorb any spilled ink.
3. Drill a small hole directly above the letter H in the word 'Push' on the top label of the cartridge. The hole only needs to be wide enough to fit a syringe needle.
4. Drill a second hole 1/8-inch above the first hole. This hole is to allow air to escape as ink is injected into the cartridge.
5. Fill a syringe with the appropriate amount and color of ink. The black cartridge holds 25ml of ink. Each color cartridge accepts 10ml of ink.
6. Insert the needle of the syringe into the first hole you drilled. Slowly inject the ink into the cartridge. Stop filling if ink starts bubbling out of the hole.
7. Repeat the previous steps for any additional cartridges that need to be refilled. Replace the cartridges in the printer. Allow them to rest for 24 hours so the ink can absorb into the internal sponge and air pockets can rise to the top. Run one to three print-head cleaning cycles to get the ink flowing through the cartridges.
