The hole should be at the top of the cartridge
The best way to re-fill an ink cartridge is to buy an ink re-filling kit. This can be bought from any online store selling ink cartridges. Along with this kit you would be provided with the necessary tools along with a set of
PVC Fabric
Manufacturers instructions on how to go about filling-the-empty-ink-cartridge.Here are a few simple instructions that could be followed to refill your cartridge and itÂ’s not very complicated.Draw the ink of any one colour with the help of the syringe provided in the re-fill kit.
Ideally, this should be done over the sink. This is to make sure that even if some of it spills over no documents, clothes etc. gets ruined. The amount of ink each printer holds usually varies depending upon its manufacturers. For Example, in most Epson printers the black cartridge holds about 17ml of ink and the colour cartridges hold approximately 8ml. Please refer to the instructions on your refill kit to check how much ink should be injected into the cartridge.A small hole needs to be made on top of the cartridge (Could be done with a ball point pen), one for each colour chamber.
The hole should be at the top of the cartridge near the label. The needle should be pushed into the hole and the ink injected slowly. If the ink is not injected slowly, it could result in foaming and air bubbles could be formed. If this happens, the re-filled cartridge might not be able to print.Caution: If this happens, hold the cartridge over a waste paper basket upside down and swing upwards and stop suddenly. This could rectify the problem. If it doesnÂ’t then you could clean the ink heads with cleaner or try soaking the heads. This could remove any dry ink that is clogging the ink heads and allow the ink to flow freely again.The re-fill holes need not be sealed, as there are already breather holes on top of the cartridge.
Any ink that is left over in the syringe can be returned to the bottle. The syringe needs to be cleaned with water and dried properly before using it for another colour. It might be handy to use different syringes for different colours.Once the refilled cartridge is placed back in the printer, run the cleaning cycle 1 to 3 times. If there is any gap in printing, the cycle could be run a few more times till the problem is rectified.Before placing the refilled cartridge back into the printer, you could hold it upside down just to make sure ink is not dripping out of the sponge.

The circuit boards are patented and cannot be made from new
The complexity of inkjet cartridges makes it hard for them to be recycled, even though almost all of the materials used to make a printer ink cartridge are recyclable. However, do not be deterred from sending cartridges to
600 denier
polyester sublimation manufacturers or dropping them off at office supply stores to recycle. The sad truth is that only 15% of the 65 million printer cartridges that are sold in the UK are recycled. This means that the rest end up in landfill sites and this is harmful for the environment as the plastic used in a typical cartridge is made of engineering grade polymers.
This takes from 450 to 1000 years to decompose!Inkjets are really small in
size: these fit in the palm of your hand and have a circuit board and jet plate
on the bottom. The cartridges that have circuit boards have a recycling value
when empty. The circuit boards are patented and cannot be made from new, so an
empty cartridge must be refilled in order to create an alternative to the
original OEM product.Cartridges can be expensive and remanufactured printer
cartridges can cost as little as 10% of what original cartridges do, so
recycling printer cartridges is really worthwhile.
By preventing cartridges from ending up in landfill sites, you are taking
care of the environment too. We can significantly reduce our carbon waste output
through making a worldwide effort to recycle ink cartridges. Ink cartridges have
a terrible negative impact on our environment.It is evident that many people,
ranging from the common man to large corporations, make the effort to recycle
ink cartridges. Every year 2.5 million ink cartridges are sent off to recycling
plants and become re-used – however a staggering 10 million end up in a landfill
site.According to a Planet Ark report in 2006, if 18 million ink cartridges were
sent to the dump this would create waste of 3,000 tonnes of plastic, 2,500
ferrous metals, 400 tonnes of aluminium and 26 kilograms (about 58 pounds) of
precious metals.
On top of all this, that 3,000 tonnes of plastic can take up to well over a
couple of hundred years to degenerate.As a result of cartridge recycling, more
than 40,000 tons of plastic and metal is saved from landfills annually as a
result of cartridge recycling. For every 100,000 used cartridges recycled, we
can save 9599 kilograms of aluminum, 40 tons of plastic, and 1,000,000 liters of
oil. Ink cartridge recycling has become synonymous with successful sustainable
development.Toner Trader buys printer ink cartridges. We have an outstanding
quick collections service by using interlink. If you let us know your email
address or mobile phone number, Toner Trader will inform you the one-hour time
window during which the collection will take place. So you will be assigned a
