Epson C64 Ink Cartridge Refill Instructions

Carefully follow the refill instructions below to refill your Epson C64 black ink cartridges and also to refill your Epson C64 colour ink cartridges.

These instructions are based on using a Jettec refill kit with specifically formulated inks suitable for refilling Epson C64 ink cartridges although the principles are the same if you already have a refill kit

Always Cover Your Working Area
With Folded Kitchen Paper In Case Of Ink Spillage

1. Pierce the filling hole through the label with an old ballpoint pen. ( do not use the needle )
   
   
2. Assemble the syringe and needle , Pierce the bottle seal. Fill the syringe with aproximately 5 - 7 ml of ink.



3. Insert the syringe needle into the filling hole. The needle will only enter into the cartridge aproximatley half a centimeter.Slightly angle the needle to create an air flow.
   
   
4. Inject very slowly allowing the ink to flow into the cartridge consistently. Allow the ink to settle into the cartridge and inject more ink into the filling hole.
   
   
5. Withdraw the syringe needle and wipe away any excess ink from the cartridge filling hole.
   
   
6. Insert one of the blue plugs from the refill kit. This plug is a tight fit to ensure the cartridge does not leak.
   
   
7. You will need a chip resetter to reset the chip. A chip resetter ensures that your printer registers your cartridge as full.



8. Install the cartridge and run the cleaning cycle on the printer. The best print quality will be achieved if the cartridge is left in the printer 24 hours before use.



9. Clean the syringe and needle for future use.

   Note: Due to the complex design you will not be able to completely refill the cartridge. Therefore it must be removed from the printer before the status monitor has shown that it is empty, and the above process repeated.
