Syringes & needles

Quality syringe and the correct needle or adapter are the main tools required for refilling many ink cartridges. Blunt (drawing up) needles work well for refilling spongeless or 1/2 sponge ink tanks. Sharp needles are better for filling sponge type (Canon, Epson, HP etc) ink cartridges.

Note: Rinse syringes / needles after use in clean water.
