Alternative way to refill Maxify's PGI-1200 / 1500 etc. Cartridges

I purchased from Octoink several 16g tappered needles/pipette tips. This size is maybe too long and narrow in the pointed end for the refill hole of Maxify carts. so I cut a few mm. from the tip and now they fit perfectly.

These refilling tips that OctoInkjet sells can be modified to fit most different types of cartridge, once you understand how get into the carts without damaging then valve inlets then it becomes much easier to use any refill tip..

But remember to use a large syringe and pull back on the plunger first to allow the air to escape which then permits the ink to enter..

These are the syringes and tips I use to refill the Maxify carts, the tips are a great fit. As @The Hat says be sure to use a big syringe so you can remove air and add ink in a cycling sequence and at the end remove some air from the cart before withdrawing the syringe.

There is a good video on that site that shows the process, it works very succesfully.
