Thompson's instructions say that the ink cartridge can't be used when it is removed. Does this mean that you can't add ink?
Compared with other brands of ink cartridges, Epson's ink cartridges require higher skills when adding ink. This is determined by many factors, such as nozzle structure, ink cartridge structure and nozzle cleaning method, so let's get familiar with these structural knowledge first. Epson's ink cartridge is a separate ink cartridge, that is, the nozzle is not on the ink cartridge, and the ink cartridge is basically just an ink container. The nozzle is integrated with the nozzle seat. There are three plastic columns (1 black ink cartridge and five five-color ink cartridges) in the nozzle seat, and there are several small holes in the shape of chrysanthemum petals at the upper end of the plastic columns. After the ink cartridge is installed, the upper end of the plastic column is inserted into the ink outlet hole of the ink cartridge to form continuous ink supply from the ink cartridge to the nozzle. Ink travels from the small hole at the end of the plastic column to the nozzle (strictly speaking, it first travels to an ink storage pool and then travels to the nozzle through dozens of tiny holes), with a distance of nearly 20 mm Whenever the ink cartridge is removed, air will enter this channel. In addition, the ink outlet of the new ink cartridge is sealed, and the paper seal is full of ink. When the removed ink cartridge is reinstalled in the nozzle seat, there is no ink at the ink outlet. Therefore, if the ink cartridge is removed in the middle, air will enter the nozzle pipeline, resulting in disconnection during printing. And at this time, the disconnected place needs to be cleaned several times before the air can be pumped out. So in order to prevent this from happening, the user will not handle it, and Epson warns the user that the ink cartridge cannot be used again after it is removed.
The above introduction doesn't mean that Epson's ink cartridge can't hold ink, but putting it back after adding ink will bring air into the nozzle. It needs to be cleaned several times, and the air in the hole can be pumped out to ensure continuous printing. In fact, a new ink cartridge will be disconnected.
How to add ink to Epson's ink cartridge? What are the precautions?
The nozzle of Epson printer will bring in air when replacing the ink cartridge, or it will bring in more air when the supplementary kit is not used properly. Therefore, when adding ink, it should be injected slowly, so that the ink will settle to the bottom of the ink cartridge, and there will be no air left at the bottom of the ink cartridge.
The specific method is: plug the ink outlet hole with the attached rubber plug, or seal the ink outlet hole with transparent tape (wipe off the residual ink on the intact paper first, and be sure to seal it), and uncover the sealing paper on the ink cartridge. You can see that there are two holes in the ink chamber of each color (there are two holes in the black ink cartridge), one is the exhaust hole and the other is the ink injection hole. The ink injection holes of some ink cartridges are blocked by rubber plugs. The amount of ink added shall not exceed the capacity of the sponge. After adding the ink, stick the sealing paper back. Be careful not to seal all ventilation slots. Play or tap with your fingers to eliminate bubbles in the bottom sponge. After standing for ten minutes, if the ink hole is sealed with adhesive tape, directly put the ink cartridge back to the printer; If the ink hole is sealed with a plug and the plug is pulled out, the ink will seep out, clean it with a paper towel and put it back to the printer quickly. In particular, it is pointed out that the ink injection must be gentle to make the ink sink to the end. If it is too urgent, there will be air at the bottom, and the line will be disconnected when printing; At the same time, because of the existence of air, the ink is full, and there is no ink after a few times, which is mistaken for a plug.

How to fill Canon's BCI-2 1 black and BCI-2 1 color ink cartridges? What are the precautions?
BCI-2 1 filling water is the simplest in Canon ink cartridges. Pull the ink cartridge forward from the nozzle seat, invert it, and drop the ink directly on the sponge at the ink outlet. When the sponge absorbs ink quickly and the ink absorption speed is obviously slow, you can stop adding ink. The only thing to pay attention to is not to fill it too full, which will exceed the capacity of the sponge, so that the ink will overflow from the vent above. BCI-2 1 Black doesn't matter, just wipe off the spilled black water; BCI-2 1 color ink cartridge is a three-color ink cartridge. Although there is only one vent hole on the upper cover, there are three vent holes on the upper cover, one for each color. Since the three vent holes can't be wiped, once the ink cartridge moves forward, the spilled ink will cause mixed color, so the ink cartridge will be scrapped because of mixed color (if the color is not concerned, it can be used).
In the same way, Canon also has BCI- 10/ 1 1 black/12 black/12 color ink cartridge of BJC-30/50/80/85 printer.
How to add ink to Canon's ink cartridge with nozzle? What are the precautions?
There are two common types of Canon ink cartridges with nozzles. There are one kind of ink injection holes (air holes) on the side: black BC-0 1/02/03, color BC-05/06/09; Ink-jet holes (air holes) are another type: black BC-20/23 and color BC-22/22e/29F. Ink injection hole is used to add ink during production. There is a small hole on the sealing plug as an exhaust hole to keep the internal and external pressure balanced. The structure and inking mode of the two ink cartridges are basically the same. Insert the small hole of the vent hole twice with the attached drill, hold it, and gently pull out the plug on the vent hole. The color ink cartridge needs to judge the color with a toothpick, insert the ink injection needle into the hole to inject ink, and then press the plug back. It should be noted that: first, the amount of ink added should not exceed the capacity of the sponge, otherwise it is easy to throw ink when printing; Second, when adding ink, don't overdo it, control it well and avoid overflowing, especially color ink cartridges. Several colors of ink injection holes are close. Once the ink overflows and penetrates into ink cells of other colors, the ink cartridge will be unusable due to mixed color. In addition, there are two styles of BC-03 ink cartridge, one is mentioned above, and the other is with a transparent ink storage cavity on the side, and the ink injection hole on the cavity wall is sealed with steel balls. Its ink filling method is to press the steel ball into the ink storage chamber with the attached ejector pin, and then seal the ink injection hole with the attached new steel ball after ink injection.
HP black ink cartridges with airbags are C 1843A, 5 1625A, 5 1629A/G, etc. The common method of adding ink is to drill a hole in the ink box, plug it with a plug after adding ink, and then adjust the air bag pressure with a syringe. The disadvantages of this method are: on the one hand, fine debris easily falls into the ink box when drilling, and on the other hand, more auxiliary tools are needed.
The patented filling method of this ink box is: connect the attached hose to the ink bottle mouth, connect the nozzle with the ink injection hole at the bottom of the ink box, squeeze the ink into the ink box, and loosen the bottle several times during the extrusion process (don't loosen the butt joint of the nozzle) to let the air flow back. After adding ink, keep the ink cartridge upside down, and use an empty bottle to draw a proper amount of air from the ink injection port, so that the ink will not seep out from the ink injection port after the ink cartridge comes over. It should be noted that when filling ink, the ink is added to the ink cartridge, and the ink cartridge is positive pressure. At this time, ink will seep from the ink injection hole and nozzle, so it is necessary to pump out a proper amount of air to keep the air pressure balance inside and outside the ink box; However, the air should not be pumped too much. If it is pumped into negative pressure, it will cause poor ink output and disconnection during printing.
How to fill HP 5 1645A/G ink cartridge? What are the precautions?
There is a black round sticker on the bottom of the 5 1645A/G ink cartridge. Remove the label and you can see a steel ball. Press the steel ball into the ink cartridge with the attached plastic ejector pin. After a bottle of ink is squeezed into the ink cartridge, clamp both sides of the ink cartridge with the self-contained C-type, tighten it hard, press the new steel ball into the hole, loosen the C-type clamp, stick the sticker back, and wipe the nozzle with a paper towel to let the ink seep smoothly. It should be noted that before pressing the steel ball to close the ink injection hole, the ink cartridge must be clamped first, so that the ink cartridge will have a slight negative pressure after pressing the steel ball, otherwise the nozzle will overflow.
