Refill instruction for black Canon PG-560 inkjet cartridges

Die Oberseite der PG-560 Patronen ist ein flacher Deckel - auf welchem sich das Patronenetikett befindet. Unter diesem Label befindet sich bei der schwarzen Patrone ungefähr mittig die Belüftungsöffnung. Sie dient dem Druckausgleich für das beim Drucken verbrauchte Tintenvolumen. Für das Nachfüllen der PG-560 Patronen wird diese Belüftungsöffnung als Zugang zum Patroneninneren verwendet.
Das Etikett wird vorsichtig vom Deckel abgezogen, bis die mittige Öffnung gut sichtbar ist. Wir empfehlen das Etikett nur circa zu zwei Dritteln abzulösen, dies erleichtert Ihnen die richtige Positionierung des Etiketts nach Einfüllen der Druckertinte. Die Einfüllöffnung liegt am Ende des unter dem Etikett befindlichen Belüftungskanals. 

Use the cannula placed on the empty refill syringe to carefully widen the ventilation opening to the filling opening. To do this, carefully place the tip of the cannula into the vent opening. Use the syringe to carefully push the cannula into the vent opening while gently rotating the syringe. This will slowly widen the opening until the needle can slide inside the cartridge.

How much ink is used to refill a Canon PG-560 printer cartridge?
In their original state, the cartridges are filled with the following amounts of ink:
PG-560 - 7.5 ml / 180 pages print capacity
PG-560 XL - 14,3 ml / 400 pages print capacity
-------------------------------------
The correct amount of refill ink for your empty Canon PG-560 cartridge depends on how much ink is left in the internal sponge after the empty message.
For Canon PG-560 cartridges we recommend about 5 ml of black pigmented refill ink in the refill syringe, for the PG-560 XL version with a larger ink sponge the recommended amount is about 10 ml.

Insert the needle attached to the refill syringe into the enlarged vent hole in the cartridge cover and prick the ink sponge. Please note to pierce in the direction of the rear cartridge area away from the print head area. Gently push the needle into the sponge until you hit the cartridge housing at the bottom - then pull the needle out again 1cm.
Now slowly pour the printer ink from the refill syringe into the ink sponge. The sponge is refilled from the bottom up thanks to the positioning of the cannula.
If the cartridge starts to drip from the print head nozzles while the ink is being filled, it can be assumed that the sponge is saturated (depending on the amount of residual ink remaining in the ink sponge / independent of the amount of ink remaining in the refill syringe). Now withdraw about 1 ml of ink from the cartridge again - the dripping will then usually stop.
After the desired amount of printer ink has been filled into the cartridge, the cartridge label is stuck back over the ventilation system. Make absolutely sure that one end of the duct system peeks out from under the label and is exposed. This is the only way to ensure that the cartridge interior is ventilated and that the ink volume in the cartridge used up by printing can be replaced by air flowing in.
