:O) I only tried to fill one cart once. It was some time ago, a very
small, ugly and weird Canon. I got ink on me, ink on it and hardly any
inside it. I'm just too cack-handed to do this stuff.
yourself, Measekite. I can refill 1 or 2 of the cartridges in my i960
and replace them before the carriage recycles from the open position. It
takes about as long to refill as it does to open the package & remove
tape & exit hole cover on a new cartridge. Refilling is only difficult
in your inexperienced and prejudiced mind.
That's very easy if not immediately obvious. Remove the ink tanks and
then flip up the lever on the right side of the printhead assembly. The
removable printhead is the thing with the six round dots (facing up)
and the back wall of the ink cartridge compartment.
It pops right out.
There are a number of similar procedures and cleaning concoctions,
primarily involving soaking in distilled water and low concentraion of
household ammonia. The water by itself does a fairly good job. Alcohol
may help but does not dissolve the ink.
If you had a badly clogged head (which you apparently don't) or are
just not patient enough to wait for a soaking to work you can actually
disconnect the nozzle assembly from the head (two screws) to gain
access to the inside of the nozles themselves.
