How do you refill the ink cartridge for a Dell Photo All-In-One printer (model 942)?

I have a refill ink kit that I used for HP printers. I have the ink and the tools but I don't have instructions on how to refill Dell cartridges # 5566 (black ink) and # 4646 (color). I don't know where to drill the hole to refill, or if there are any special instructions, like some of the HP cartridges. Thank you.How do you refill the ink cartridge for a Dell Photo All-In-One printer (model 942)?
you really should know that dell and hp use different inks and using the one company's inks in the other's cartridges could cause a number of problems.





that said, peel the labels off your carts. if the holes are not already present, drill into the divots at the end of the mazes (if you've no clue what i mean, a maze is the little windy lines that vent your cart, there should be a pretty obvious divot at one end of each maze).





on the black, you only need to drill into one divot. on the colour, you'll end up with three holes. you will need to look into those holes to figure out which colour goes where as i cannot remember where each goes in the 4646.





black takes about 20 ml, each colour will take about 5 ml. do not overfill! if you pull some ink back after filling each colour, you should be okay.





also note: your ink status monitor CANNOT be re-set, and your printer MAY NOT let you use your refilled cartridges. dell is getting smarter about this stuff.





if you are able to use them successfully, please be aware that the printer may not inform you when the carts are low again. keep an eye on your printer for streaks and discolourations and then you'll be able to tell when to refill again.How do you refill the ink cartridge for a Dell Photo All-In-One printer (model 942)?
To be honest, you are better off just purchasing the HP Remanufactured cartridges. Cartridges can be refilled, but generally they can only be refilled a couple of times. You can find cheap HP Remanufactured cartridges online.





Despite what some people say.. it does NOT void your warranty to use off remanufactured cartridges. I found an article about this online if you want to read more about this, go to cheapinkcartridges.com and click on the FAQ link.

i'm not sure if you should use ink for a different brand in the Dell cartridges. also, you could really mess up the cartridges. i recommend buying remanufactured cartridges. they cost about the same as the refill kits, but are much easier to use!
Actually that is not a big problem. Dell printer cartridges are same as Lexmark printer cartridges (they are just changed enough by Dell so that you can not buy less expensive Lexmark cartridges and use them instead of expensive Dell cartridges.





So what you need is a compatible lexmark refill kit (since they are same design and use the same ink) and follow their instructions.





Here is a place you can do that, and the instruction how to do it:
