 Hey guys it's Kevin. Today we're going to do a bungalow refillable cartridge part of those two cartridges we just refilled before. Now if you haven't checked our previous video I suggest you to see the video. I'm going to put the link down below. You might have a question why do I want to do a spongeless cartridge? I can just drill a hole and just refill it again and again and it seems it doesn't have any problems There are a couple of advantages. The first one is you can clearly see how much ink in it rather than guessing how much in it. Now you know. The second advantage is how much page you can print. Remember in the last video I'm going to show the link below but I told you how much ink is controlled by how much sponge in here. So even if you have a big cartridge you have little sponge you cannot add that much ink and that pretty much limited how much ink you can put in and how many pages you can print. As you know most of the time the cartridge is damaged when you refill it. You refill it then you have to prime it and during that time you introduce the risk of damaging it. If you can enlarge the volume you can decrease your chance of damaged cartridge. I have an article I'm also going to put a link below. I'll show you how much ink was originally in there. So this is 260 and original 260 we got about 8 mils 7.5 mils. So if we remove the sponge the cartridge can hold 33 mils. 33 mil divided by 8 is up to four times. Remember in the last video I showed you each 8 mil cartridge can print half room of paper. So this is how much you can print before. Okay if you just drill a hole and refill it you can print this much. Now if you convert it to a sponge less you don't print this much. Okay for each refill and for the color each original Canon color cartridge can print this much paper. If you convert it to the sponge less you can print this much before you refill it. Okay today's plan is to replace this cover with this cover. This cover has a refill hole. Okay this is where we do refill and this is air pressure regulator. On the top there's a tiny air hole so there are two things on this cover. I got a couple customers for the black they glue it backwards like this. It's only possible for the black. So remember which one is the front okay which one is the back. Okay over go you just cut this off glue this on. Forgot to tell you two stuff you need to prepare. We call it the GGSR. So you'll need a glue, gloves, sandpaper and rubber bands. We sell it really cheap at our website but if you have them you don't have to buy them. And the clear cover I'm going to put it on the on the description and you'll also need a utility knife. Another thing is you want some duct tape just regular tape okay. So basically you'll need a GGSR utility knife and some duct tape. I cannot find them at dispenser so you'll need a tear of three pieces of tape. We want to get this the printhead protected so instead of the sticky side down that's going to glue it on the printhead. You put the sticky inside up towards me towards the camera right now. So if I put it on it this is the sticky side okay the top is sticky side. You want to go over it kind of put it underneath the chip. Now the second piece you're going to go above the above this side of the tape but a little bit more like this and then make sure you see your finger make sure it's sealed. What this one does is you're going to glue that cover so there will be some glue coming down. You don't want the glue drop on the chip and now the third piece you just put it like this. So right now it's a sticky side towards sticky side push it down and now the printhead is protected. Okay we'll get one more to do. The second step is to cut the cut the color off. I usually do it on the edge of the table. You can see there's a seam right here so I just use the knife put it right on this seam and I use this as a lever to go up and down okay I'll do that and then you're going to here click the knife goes into it then you just you just separate your hand like this. Okay you can see how small the sponge is then you have all those things just push the sponge down. Now the color one put on the seam go up and down tear it off. Okay so you're going to fill all of them with ink. Before you take the sponge out I do the sanding first because there are going to be some debris from sanding so I don't I don't want it to get contaminated. I don't want to get contaminated so you can see there are grooves. Okay oh by the way the sandpaper is 150 grit what you want is you want to sand until you can now see the groove you don't want to sand it sand down too much if you sand down too much you're going to have a problem to put it in. So also when you sand it just turn it around a couple times so you can sand it sand it evenly so you can sand it evenly. See that look perfect and after you're sanding it use your knife to run it along the border make sure you pick up those little little dirt. Okay you see this one you want to you want to pick it up with your knife and now it's the color one the same thing we want to sand that here we don't see that groove so I still see it here that'd be perfect and now it's the cleaning time so now take the sponge out. For the fresh cartridge I usually do not do too much cleaning it just rinse it out make sure there's no dirt. Then you pat it dry with a paper towel it's going to dry pretty soon so give it like a 10 minutes so you don't want the whole whole cartridge to get dried so give it like a 5-10 minutes the top will be the top will be dry and they will show you the color the color difference once it's dry. Okay I'm going to do the color first before doing that put a pencil on the table and get your rubber bands ready and get your glue ready and the color one is the hardest so we're gonna do it first and take the little plugs off and the fourth thing you want to do you only got one try okay one time for the color so the first first time is try to fit it a few times the way to fit it is go go with the front first until you touch the touch the end and then press it down okay the reason you want to try to fit it is you may still have some some flip overs from your sanding so you make sure that that gray can go in look pretty tight good okay and for the color you have three chambers and there are lots of people forgot to put the glue in the in the center the center T okay so let's do it first okay the first thing you do is put some excessive glue on the on the center T the center T and then now start put the glue in the center T put a liberal amount so don't don't make it too thin put the color on you only got one try okay make sure you do some dry runs before you do this and then press it down now put the rubber bands on now rest it down rest the shorter side on your pencil so it'll be flat now do the black remember what I said earlier make sure the narrow side is towards the front okay or back okay towards the electron ribbon okay don't glue it this way okay black is easy you don't need a pre-glue just put it down here get a lot a lot of them press it down okay we'll press it down you're gonna see that the glue foil fills in the gaps and the color becomes solid now you can just leave it and based on your your what kind of glue you use I'll say that like at least like five hours to ten hours before I add ink to it okay now I actually forgot about it so hey so it's one day already so it's 24 hours that'd be long so the next thing is take a look say if there's any any gaps any air bubbles it look like a sealed really really good so if you see a really like a really wide area that's because you didn't have enough glue just just dab add another glue the glue for example here is a little bit of white you can see here so you just draw a little bit of glue and it will suck right in it will suck the inside if it's not sealed just repeat what I said yesterday if you forgot to glue the center T you're pretty much done there's no way you can you can glue the center T but you can add drops all the way around it because you've sanded this this down so it's like tiny little bit shorter than the original cartridge if you put a lot of glue under here that means that make it even shorter so if you have a problem to fit it in your printer you want to file take a file file down file down discover a little bit so make make sure you file down all the glues here if you cannot fit it in okay nothing I'm I'm going to double check if it's sealed airtight I normally don't do that after I examine it so I'm pretty sure I'm sealed airtight but just just to show you how to test it and this syringe is included in your kit and it has a flat top this is used to blow airs into the air hole so if I close this and if I blow a little bit of air into the air hole it's going to increase the pressure inside the cartridge if there are any leaks around the corner I'm going to see it otherwise the air going to come in from the bottom I just blow a little bit tiny tiny bit of air sometimes I blow under the water you can see only the ink coming from the bottom there's no air around the cover now I release the air pressure now I'm doing for each of the three colors I can add the ink add as much as you want add all the way to the top so now for the knife I can remove the protective tape some people against using the paper towel to wipe the nozzles which is the bottom of the printhead I'm a wiper I haven't found it damaging any printhead after I did a couple hundreds maybe not saw them okay after you've done it remember if you see my last video if this is the cartridge and you get a filter here the filter funnel okay although you added the ink in here the funnel itself is still empty so you need to get this funnel full of ink before it can work and there are two ways one way is using the syringe here just like what I did before we pump a little tiny bit of air okay not too much okay I'm going to pump maybe just like a just like this much okay and then you can see the red is flowing out okay and after you pump it open this up release the pressure and put it back okay I'm going to pump the blue okay make sure the blue color coming out they release it you can see the air bubbles if you do not release the pressure it's going to flow out all the time so after you after done it right release the pressure you can see there's no ink coming out even if you sit here there's no ink coming out and the second way is of course using our old priming clip this is not including your kit but if you want to use it I also I recommend maybe using the priming clip if you worry about damaging the the printhead don't put do not put too much air into this if you if you do like a half of half of syringe is going to damage it I think the safest the maximum maybe two mil that's that's the maximum it can take because if you have too much pressure it's going to damage the delicate nozzle underneath okay so one thing is that because this is a little bit shorter and when you put the priming clip okay you'll find it pretty easy to put it on so now you have to use your finger so like a lever when you draw the ink okay if you're used to certainly draw the ink you'll have to use your finger hold on this and press it down okay then you can draw it so you can see what you can see what okay now it's ready for the color one if you see this one stops from going in because this thing in the middle you'll bend it back a little bit and then press it in okay it's looking pretty good except the cyan we're just going to do one more cleaning using the printer's building routine so i'm gonna take the cyan i'm going to put maybe two mils of air now i got also used to a priming clip remember i use my hand to squeeze in because the priming clip um draw the air from draw the ink from all three colors you should see this color be black what i like about the priming clip is i draw ink from all three uh all three chambers so you always get a balanced all three chambers get a balanced pressure across all three after you do it and one thing i like about the syringe priming syringe is you can individually unclog individual color oh it's even worse let me use the printer's building function and clean it i also use a deep clean i found that the canvas regular clean doesn't do anything much better so i'm going to use the building function and do one more cleaning much better and uh so there's a second deep cleaning and uh i only got a little bit stuck here so what can what i'm going to do is i'm using the most effective two which is time time i'm gonna say this uh this in the uh in the printer for two hours then i come back and check on it okay after two hours we'll do more any more cleaning just do another another check see oh time time is your best friend so i i normally those are caused by microscopic air bubbles so uh if we take it out and do a like a do a cleaning and do the priming it's like a it's like uh using a cannon to kill a mosquito so the time will solve it and uh there are lots of people they just they just bring all the tools and try to fix it right away and they make things worse worse so all we did they just leave them for like two hours so this is our first one after we modified and then we did a prime and uh in the priming you can see the the color is kind of it's kind of uh red color kind of bleeding the yellow color and this is normally is the pressure is not balanced so the blue has a lot a lot lots of pressure have nowhere nowhere to go is squeezing the magenta and the magenta squeezing the yellow okay so after priming we probably primed too hard we put too much pressure on the on the blue so on the actually called cyan on the cyan so cyan pressed two other colors and then we used the printer's building function to a clean and immediately it cleaned out the the pressure problem but there's still a left some microscopic bubbles and which we did a second deep cleaning right away and they cleaned out those bubbles but then there's a big one here which would just sit would just sit in the print of the two hours and that's perfect if i still cannot solve it i will have to repeat it and do the same thing again and again until it's ready i hope you enjoyed this video visit us at www.bchtechnologies.com or locally at Griskell North Carolina thank you cheers
