The same refill method can be used for all of the above. Insert a needle into the two ports - One for air to escape and the other for refilling with syringe. After removing both needles always check to ensure that there is no leakage of ink from the ports. Do not re-instal a leaky cartridge. Repeated refilling on the same cartridge might mean leakage at some stage. So check Method 2 (below)

There is a second method, illustrated below on a PFI-030 cartridge used in the TA20 and TA 30 printers. It simply involves drilling a refill hole and using a rubber stopper as shown. A glue gun could also be used to seal the hole again after each fill.

Refill Method : Drill hole and Plug

Empty weight : 32gms - Full weight 112gms

When the ink level reaches zero and an "out of ink" message is displayed, press and hold the STOP button for 5 seconds to resume printing

Drill a refill hole and use a rubber sealing plug after the refill is completed.

Canon have used a different / new design of cartridge for these.

The body contains a collapsable bag inside, so drilling a hole is not an option here.

The recommendation is to fill back into the ink outlet.

This can either be done by slowly dripping ink onto the sponge visible at the outlet port and allowing the ink to flow back inside, thus filling the bag with ink.

The other method requires a modified clip which fits over the outlet port. (Shown in the next image) Then using a filled syringe the ink is filled inside using slight pressure to slowly refill the bag.

This design needs a refill tip to add to the syringe (do not try these with a needle as it will damage the sealing valve inside the outlet port). Slow inject ink and weight the refilled cartridge using an accurate set of weighing scales. Full weight is 84 gms. If it weight below that, refit the tip, draw back the syringe to extract any air and then add more ink until it gets to 84 grams.
