Ink refill kits (for Canon)
Each refill kit contains ink for many refills, all the tools you need and detailed intructions. Not made by Canon but the ink is
formulated specifically for Canon ink cartridges. Quality, printer specific ink for trouble free printing. NOT universal ink. If you
bought a refill kit already, you might want to look at bulk ink. Most Canon ink cartridges are easy to refill, but it is important,
not to let them run out of ink. If you do, you are inviting problems.

Can my Canon ink cartridge be refilled...? Is it difficult ? Any tricks ?
...if your cartridge isn't listed here, please contact us for more information
BCI-3 series cartridges (BCI-3eBk/C/M/Y/pM/pM) can all be refilled,but it's important not to let the sponge part of cartridge
run out of ink. Once it's empty, the sponge dries out very quickly and it can be almost impossible to get printing again after
refilling. Ideally, refill when the ink side is almost empty, but the sponge is still saturated with ink. Fill hole is under label on
top of the cartridge. Ensure the fill hole is sealed air-tight after refilling, or the cartridge will leak. Black (BCI-3eBk) ink is pig-
ment (C3), all the colours use dye (C6).
BCI-6 series cartridges (BCI-6Bk/C/M/Y/pC/pM/R/G also BCI-5) are essentially the same as BCI-3 and the same tips apply.
All BCI-6 cartridges use dye (C6) ink.
BCI-24 ink cartridges (BCI-24Bk & 24C) are simple to refill, but original Canon BCI24 cartridges use felt type material which
tends to harden, as the cartridge empties. This makes re-filling tricky, because once the felt turns hard, it stops absorbing
ink. Refilled cartridge might seem overfull and leak, even if very little ink is added. Quality compatible (not Canon) cartridges
don't suffer this problem, and are a better choice, if you want to refill. Black BCI-24's use pigment ink (C3), colour (C6) dye.
BCI-21 cartridges are the same as BCI-24 and refill the same. Both black and colour cartridges use dye ink (C4).
CL-38 is a low yield versions of CL-41 ink cartridge. Easy to refill, but if your printer can use the CL 41 or CL 51 higher
capacity cartridges, get some. The 38 holds very little ink and is easy to over fill. Use dye (C8) ink.
CL-41 is similar to CL-38 (above). Holds more ink and over filling is less of a problem
CL-51 is a higher capacity version of CL-41 (above). Not all CL-38 and CL-41 printers can use them
CLI-8 series cartridges are very similar to "BCI-3s" and the same tips apply (read above). The only significant difference is
the ink level chip on the CLI-8's. It is of no real concern to refillers, as it doesn't prevent refilling (in current models anyway).
You have to either disable the ink monitoring or invest in a chip resetter. All CLI-8 cartridges use dye (C8) ink. Read more
about the process of disabling the ink level monitor here.
CLI-521 (NEW) ink tanks are the latest from Canon. They can be easily filled, using C8 dye inks. Refill method & tips are
same as for "BCI-3" ink tanks (read above). CLI-521 are a smaller version of CLI-8 ink tanks. They have similar ink chips,
but the current chip resetters won't reset them (Nov 08). You have to disable the ink monitoring to use refilled ink tanks.

PGI-5 is similar to BCI-3Bk and the same tips apply (read above). Like the CLI-8, the PGI-5's have ink level chips and you
have to either disable the ink monitoring or invest in a chip resetter Pigment ink (C5) is used in them.
PGI-9 ink tanks can not be refilled (at this time). There is no resetter for the ink chip and the tank itself is not refillable.
PG-37 is a low yield versions of PG-40 ink cartridge. Easy to refill, but if your printer can use the PG 40 or PG 50 higher
capacity cartridges, get some. The 37 holds very little ink and is easy to over fill. Use pigment (C5) ink.
PG-40 is similar to PG-37 (above). Holds more ink and over filling is less of a problem
PG-50 is a higher capacity version of PG-40 (above). Not all PG 37 & PG 40 printers can use them
PGI-520 (NEW) ink tanks are the bigger (black) version of "CLI-521" (read above). Refill tips and method are the same.
Pigment (C5) can be used in them. Ink monitoring has to be disabled.
