How to put in color ink from an ink installation kit? -

I have a Lexmark Z611 printer and I have an emty ink cartridge but I have this kit were I can put more ink into it but I don t know exactly were to drill the holes to put in some more color ink. Can someone help me?

Your cartridge needs to have the top popped in order to refill. HOWEVER, make sure the cartridge has not been run empty, or it will not respond to refilling. Also if you have removed the cartridge and it is just sitting on your desk, then it will not respond either. The printhead needs to be kept damp, or protected. The last thing you need to know is that you MUST have lexmark 10n0026 ink. If you bought one of the universal kits, you may be stuck with ink that is too thin and will leak, or ink that is too thick and will clog. Once you determine that all is OK, simply use a knife to pry off the top of the cartridge, and if you cannot tell which color goes where, use a tooth pick to determine which color is where. these are small cartridges and will not require much ink, so fill very slowly. Watch the printhead and the top of the cartridge at the same time. At the first sign of ink coming from the print head - STOP and pull back a bit on the needle (a very little bit). You should also watch the top of the cartridge, as to avoid having the ink pour out of the top. Repeat for all colors. Hope this helps. If you have to remove the cartridge prior to refilling, then you should place it in a zipper bag along with a slightly damp paper towel, until you can get to it. It must remain moist, but not wet, and do not store in the freezer.

Read the directions on the ink kit and you can go to www.lexmark.com and look up your printer or maybe see if there is a phone number you can call. every pinter is differant.

You have to carefully pry open the cardridge to see where the different colors go, each type cardridge seems to be different. Patience is the key word here! After you know where the colors go you can dril the hole.
