How to Refill Cartridges HP21, HP22, HP27, HP28, HP56, HP57, HP58, HP59

SUGGESTIONS:

Holding cartridges at an angle as shown to the right provides a more even flow of ink.

REFILLING HP Cartridges 21 and 22

The physical cartridge & ink for the 21 & 22 cartridges are the same as the other cartridges listed in these instructions.
