Refill instructions Canon CL-511, CL-513

You need the following supplies:

  • approx. 3ml of ink for each colour for CL-511
  • approx. 4ml of ink for each colour for CL-513

 

Refilling Canon cartridges:

Place the Canon CL-511 or CL-513 cartridge to be refilled on the table. There is a label on top of the cartridge that has to be removed. For this purpose, carefully push the cutter knife underneath the label and detach it (picture 1). Beneath the label, you can now see the ventilation openings for each colour. Enlarge these openings with the 1.5mm drill. These openings will now be used to refill the cartridge. If you cannot clearly distinguish the colours on the cartridge, the colour allocation is indicated in picture 2. Insert the syringe slightly sideways into the sponge inside the Canon cartridge and fill the cartridge with the corresponding ink (picture 3). If ink spills from the filler opening or the cartridge starts dripping, draw approx. 1ml of ink back into the syringe. Now glue the label back on in its former position, or replace it with a new one if necessary. Your Canon cartridge is now ready for use and can be reinserted into the printer.

Attention: When you reinsert the refilled cartridge, your printer will continue to signal that the cartridge is empty. In this case you have to disable the filling level display for this cartridge by pressing the button "Continue" for 5 seconds when the corresponding request is shown on the screen.

Please note:

You should never empty ink cartridges completely, but refill small amounts of ink from time to time. This way, the nozzles do not dry out and clog, and the sponge inside the cartridge remains malleable. After refilling cartridges with a sponge, always let them rest on an absorbent underlay for approx. 15 minutes. Never insert a dripping cartridge into the printer! Clean the print head of your cartridges with distilled water from time to time!

Disclaimer:

Neither the printer manufacturer nor we can be held liable for any damage caused by improper or incorrect refilling. The ink is soluble in water, i.e. the bottles can be washed out after use and disposed of in the recycling bin. Syringes and needles (with protective caps!) are non-recyclable waste. You are of course welcome to return the empty bottles and supplies to us.

Keep out of the reach of children! In appropriate storage, the ink can be stored for up to three years.
