Ink Refilling Instructions Canon PG-545 BK Cartridge Refill Kit

"Refill instructions for refilling the Canon PG545 black ink cartridge used in the Canon Pixma MG2450, MG2550, MG2550S, MG2950, IP2850, MX495 printers."

Before you begin, cover all valuable surfaces with newspaper and wear protective gloves.  The tools and ink used in this process are from the Eco-Fill Professional Refill Kit for Canon PG-545 CL-546 Ink Cartridges.

Remove the label on the black PG545 cartridge. You will see 17 compartments.  You need to make a hole inside the rectangular section shown below with the screw tool.  

The plastic is tough so you will need to apply downward pressure when you twist the screw tool.

Now click the PG545 black cartridge into the refill clip.  Push the needle down through the hole and into the sponge.  Very slowly squeeze the ink bottle to inject a small amount of ink into the sponge.  Now withdraw the needle, then push it back into the sponge at a different angle, then inject another small amount of ink into the black cartridge.  Repeat this exercise until you are satisfied that the cartridge is full.  Avoid overfilling the cartridge as this can cause ink to leak out of the print head nozzle, and spill out of the top of the cartridge. As a guide the standard capacity cartridge holds 10ml and the Xl 18ml.  However, we recommend you only inject 7ml or 12mm.

 

Remove the cartridge from the refill clip and wipe the print head nozzles with a paper towel.  Now dab the print head on the paper towel.  If you are not getting a consistent black line when you dab the print head on a tissue, you will need to use the ink suction tool to prime the cartridge.

Click the black PG545 cartridge back into the refill clip and attach the syringe.  Now slowly pull back 20mm on the lever until you see ink and air bubbles.  Remove the cartridge from the clip and wipe the print head.  Now test for black line on paper towel.  

Re-install the cartridge into the printer.  The printer will display a warning, "ink cartridge is empty".  Press the Stop/Reset button for 5 seconds.  This will disable the ink monitor / ink level indicator on the printer and allow you to continue printing.

The refilling parts and ink shown in this guide are from our Eco-Fill Professional Refill Kit for Canon PG-545 CL-546 Ink Cartridges.

"Description: Article describing how to refill the HP 301 / HP301 xl printer ink cartridges.  What are the best refilling procedures to use?  What is the best refill kit for HP301?"

The HP 301 cartridges, labelled 'intended for single use only', contain a fixed print head. Much of the technology is built-into the print head on the cartridge.  So we think that is makes strong economic and environmental sense to recycle and refill these cartridges as many times as possible.

Eco-Fill offer a dedicated ink refill kit for refilling the HP301 standard and HP301 xl ink cartridges. These kits come with enough ink to refill your HP 301 cartridge numerous times.  The four ink bottles have a built-on needles, so no need to transfer the ink to a syringe.

Best Printer to Refill - Part 1 (Cheap printer to refill / Cheapest printer for cartridges)

The most important elements making up the best printer for refilling are…

* Easy to refill.
* Cheap to refill.
* Good print quality.
* Medium to heavy duty construction.
* Convenient connection options.
* Initial printer purchase price.

Finding a printer that ticks all of the above boxes is almost impossible! Printer manufacturers don’t want printers to hang around too long anymore. Gone are the days that you could buy an Epson Stylus Photo R200 / R220 / R300 / R320 printer; plug in a CISS, and use it for the next ten years!

Modern day machines contain more plastic. Many of the heavy metal components have been replaced with, by design, mass produced parts with a very limited lifespan. Computer programs calculate the parameters for fine tuning the longevity of use and the inbuilt obsolescence of the hardware. The death certificate has already been written before the printer is born.

The last fifteen years have seen major changes in ink cartridge technology. Standard use domestic cartridges commonly contained 50ml of ink. Modern day cartridge capacities have been dramatically reduced, in some cases down to just 3ml, increasing the cost per print price. However, this does not take into account the counter balance argument being, the initial purchase price of printers is lower than that of fifteen years ago. Added to the equation, the technology included and the available features provided for under £150 are totally impressive. Printers can now communicate with smartphones and tablets, and it is now possible to print from any internet connected location in the world.

Ten years ago, print head and ink technology gathered a pace. Print resolutions improved, so did how the ink interacted with non-coated paper. Ink began to stand prouder on the surface, not soaking so much into the fibres of the paper. There were also advances in print speeds on some models, however, many remain painfully slow.

Manufacturers have discouraged printer owner from refilling their cartridges. One of the first to do this was Lexmark.  They introduced single-use ink cartridges which would not be accepted by the printer after being refilled.  Epson introduced the 'intellichip', which we were told was to provide the printer with intelligent ink level information. The downside being, once the monitor level read empty, the printer would no longer accept the cartridge.  Later Canon began to use microchips on their ink cartridges, and it was necessary to disable the ink monitor after refilling. Until three years ago Brother were the only manufacturer not to use smart chips on their cartridges. Sadly, this changed with the introduction of the LC123/LC125/LC127 series cartridges. Third party microchip manufacturers were slow to emulate the new Brother chips, and when they did, Brother used WiFi automatic firmware printer updates to change the codes, rendering compatible and refillable cartridges useless until the new version chips became available.

Over recent years Epson has employed firmware updates on many of their printers. They have also introduced new versions of popular cartridges like the T0801–6 series, meaning particular printer models would not work with older chips.

HP Envy 4524 Deskjet 3636 Officejet 4658 use HP302 Ink Cartridges

Three of the latest Hewlett Packard printers require the HP 302 ink cartridges.  Unfortunately these cartridges do not hold very much ink.  Much of the internal space is a blanked off empty space of air.  HP do not state how much ink is contained in the standard HP302 cartridges; instead they quote 190 pages at 5% coverage.  There is an internal sponge which holds a small amount of ink that is probably only a few ml. 

With the price of original ink cartridges going through the roof at the moment, it makes sense to refill your cartridges.  Of course doing this also saves on landfill!  Eco-Fill offer a dedicated refill kit for the HP302 printer cartridges which are used in the HP Envy 4524, Deskjet 3636, and Officejet 4658 printers, as well as the existing... HP Deskjet 1110, 2130, 2132, 2134, 3630, 3632, 3634, 3636, 3638, HP Envy 4520, 4522, 4523, 4524, 4527, HP Officejet 3830, 4650 printers.

The kit contains four bottles of ink (black, cyan, magenta, yellow), screw tool, suction tool, plastic gloves and instructions.  The Eco-Fill Professional Refill Kit for HP 302 is available from Premium Inks.

Canon Pixma MX725 Printer Review

The Canon Pixma MX-725 inkjet printer was launched over a year ago, but there are still units available from various on-line retailers.   When first introduced into the UK market they sold for between £130 and £180.  Today you can pick one up for around £110.  

The advantage to buying an older model printer is that plenty of consumers have already tested the product and offered their feedback.  For a mainstream product like the MX725, there are plenty of reviews from numerous sources.  We will take a look at these to gauge whether this is a good product to buy.

Good points
* Easy to set up WiFi.
* Print from mobile phones and tablets using the built-in application.
* Excellent printing quality, partly due to the Canon self cleaning routine.
* Reasonably compact for the type of machine.
* Excellent duplex printing.
* Good 600dpi scanning facility with good software. 

* Stylish curvy design.

* Large 250 sheet paper tray.
* Very good price now that is has been reduced.
* Good build quality
* Cheap compatible ink cartridges and refillable cartridges available.

Bad points
* Printer regularly performs a self-cleaning routine before the first print. 
* Shiny black plastic case attracts dust and can scratch easily.

* No vertical rear paper feed.

* A tiny bit noisy.
* Original Canon ink cartridges are expensive.

The Canon Pixma MX725 has received higher than normal feedback scores...

4.3 /5 Amazon

8 /10 Trusted Reviews

8.8 /10 PC World

4.4 /5 Ebuyer

The Canon Pixma MX725 inkjet printer scores between 4.3 to 4.4 out of 5.  This is a good score for an inkjet printer.  The MX-725 offers good print quality, many useful features, and is cheap to run.  Both cheap replacement ink cartridges and refillable empty cartridges with ARC are available at a cheap price.  The only significant bad thing can be the slowness of  printing the first sheet.  Many Canon printers perform an automatic self-cleaning routine.

Canon Pixma MX-925 Printer Review

The Canon Pixma MX925 is coming to the end of its store shelf life, and prices have been slashed to make room for the replacement model printer.  It is currently selling for £120, so we investigate whether this represents real value for money?

This product has been out for a while now, so there is plenty of feedback available from experienced users of this machine.  Here are some of the most frequent comments...

Good points
* Easy to set up.
* Excellent print quality
* Reasonably compact
* Excellent duplex printing and scanning facility.
* Stylish design
* Good price
* Decent build quality
* Cheap compatible ink cartridges and refillable cartridges available.

Bad points
* First page dreadfully slow to print.  Printer often performs a self-cleaning routine before first print.  However, this does ensure a consistent print quality.
* Attracts dust.  Shiny black plastic is a magnet for dust.
* No vertical rear paper feed.
* Original Canon ink cartridges are expensive.

4.4 out of 5 on Google Reviews.
4.5 on Amazon
8.4 out of 10 at Currys
4.4 out of 5 at Argos

This printer looks like a good purchase as it offers good quality printing, is rich with features, and can use cheap replacement ink cartridges.  Refillable cartridges for the Pixma MX925 printer are also readily available at a good price.  The only real bad point seems to be the slowness of printing the first sheet due to the automatic self-cleaning routine.
