Hp 920 xl ink cartridge filling instructions anyone have them

To refill 920:

1. If you have the plastic cap that covers the 9 mm. hole where you can see the sponge, then tape this cap to the cartidge with scotch tape. If not, use some duct/masking tape to cover the round hole.

2. Use the dry hypodermic needle to find the hole that will be found at the very center of the 920 label. With the needle, pierce the label.

3. Fill the hypodermic needle with 4 cc of ink.

4. Insert the needle 2-3 cm. into the hole made in step 2. Draw out 1 cc of air, then slowly force the 4 cc of ink into the sponge. Use toilet tissue to absorb any ink that might have escaped.

5. Let the catridge stand overnight (if possible) so as to allow the ink to evenly saturate the sponge. If not, insert it into your printer immediately.

Note: If you are going to refill catridges, be certain not to allow the sponge to dry completely. Thus, you might want to do step one immediately and to enclose it in a sealed sandwich bag upon removing an empty catridge from your printer even if you are not going to fill it immediately.

I have posted a youtube video showing how to refill the HP920 cartridge. The method I have devised is brand new and works - really works. Check it out here:

Regarding "meleskanos" "solution" that is really a question asking if it is true that when one refills an HP 920 ink cartridge for a HP 6500 printer if there is a computer chip that prevents it from working I can say this: Absolutely NOT. At least not for the black HP 920 cartridge in my Hp Officejet 6500 Wireless. I just refilled my cartridge according to the #1 solution given by "moderator" and it worked fine. My print level indicator for the cartridge still shows low but its still printing fine.

Don't buy the refill kit or cartrige hp920xl from 123refill.com. it does not work, I tried it. And when I called them, no help at all, got disconnected and when I tried to call back (10X) NO ONE would answer my phone call. BAD BAD BAD, that is all I can say about 123refill.com

I used the drill method in the video. Took a while to get it printing again but so far, so good. THe low ink light went out so the pritner thinks the cartridge ink level went up as it did.
Will post again if it breaks.

Meleskanos, may well be true, I successfully refilled the other 3 cartridges, and these printed ok, but the black ran out shortly afterward. I refilled the black 920, but the 6500 will not print the black. The printer is displaying that there is a problem with the cartridge. I have shut down/started up the printer 2x now. Once started back up, it recognizes the black cartridge ok, but still will not print black.

I used the hole the guy in the video didnt want to mess with. I pushed it in using a nail punch. It filled quite easily and then covered it with a piece of tape.

I had the same problem with my HP 6500 printer.I refilled the black 920 through the middle hole under the label, be patient it will fill. It printed fine and the printer actually reset the level indicator to full. I later refilled all 3 color 920's after the printer showed they were empty. I figured it was worth a shot. Well, I went crazy it wouldn't print any colors and the printer showed they were still empty. I went into the troubleshooting sortware from HP and followed the instructions to auto clean the printer head and then the cartridges. Guess what, it began to print colors. The indicator still shows low but who gives s**t it works now.

The information you got meleskanos is probably more in the way of HP uses a proprietary chip that doesn't allow for "clone" refillable ink cartridges but does allow HP to sue companies that attempt to copy the specs. of it's cartridges. You can successfully refill an original HP cartridge because it contains that chip.
BTW- you can buy "clone" refillable ink cartridges, but the consumer must transfer the HP chip to the clone cartridge. Those cartridges allow, apparently, a greater volume and an easy refill access port. They're "made to be refilled". I have no experience with those cartridges as I think the chip transfer part would be a pain in the arse. Way to go HP, you won that battle!!!

This works and is easy. no drilling or other nonsense or buying continuous ink systems.

and turn off the ink monitoring on the printer that reads the chips. its a useless monitor anyhow. this means the printer can still print even if you refill it.you can do it on the menu panel on the front of the printer.

I am using a continuous feed ink system with my 6500. There are also replacement cartridges as described by PirateMorgan. You do have to move the chip from existing cartridges to the new ones, but it's a one-time thing (though it took me an hour to get the chip positioned right due to the vendor template being wrong). The printer reports I'm out of ink, but it doesn't interfere with my printing at all, and my ink costs have gone down beyond my satisfaction.

A refill company here in Israel said that the black HP 920 cartridge that comes with the new HP 6500 has a computer chip that will not allow the cartridge to work after being refilled. Is this known to be true?
