Hi does anybody know how to refill a number 27 lexmark ink cartridge i have bought the kit but the instructions are rubbishLexmark 10N0227 no 27 ink cartridge refill?
Assuming the contacts are not dead (electrical failure) and the ink is flowing (take a damp paper towel, and let printhead sit on it for a while to see if ink comes out.) Follow the steps below.





1. Remove top. It pops off if you hit it where it meets the cartridge body, using a flat-head screw driver and hammer.


2. Use toothpick to find out which color goes where


3. Refill the colors with about 3ml each


4. Reattach the top. Hot glue works great.


5. Redo towel test.


6. If the kits gives you a suction tool use that


7. Test in printer and using cleaning cycle if you have to.





In the future if your kit runs out, or the cartridge fails, buy the Lexmark 26, it has twice as much ink in it for only a few dollars more.Lexmark 10N0227 no 27 ink cartridge refill?
Here's just what you need.





Scroll down the page a little until you see ';Lexmark No 26 %26amp; No 27 Colour Ink Cartridge Refill Kit';. There are hyperlinks in that box where you can watch a video of how to do it, or you can download a .pdf (Portable Document Format) file, which is read and displayed by Adobe Reader. You'll, obviously, have to adapt what happens in the movie as it's unlikely that you've purchased the same type of refill kit, but the movie sequence is absolutely brilliant, with clear indication of how to go about refilling your ink cartridge.





Do make sure you've got plenty of kitchen roll or tissues to hand though. If you're not careful how you go about things, there's the opportunity for you to make a right mess. ;-)





By the way, I've refilled many Lexmark cartridges myself and have never made a mess, but I've seen someone else do exactly the opposite.





Best of luck, and Happy Printing.
If you have any empty containers left from old cartridges, you can bring it in to Walgreen's to refill them---that's if I read your question correctly.


You can also call lexmark, and ask them about their products- they would be able to give you a more informative answer.


Good Luck
