Ink cartridge refill procedure:

Before refilling your ink cartridges please place them on a flat surface, over a black piece of cloth you don’t mind getting covered in ink. To refill these cartridges, you will need a knife that can carve small orifices into them.

Step #1:
First, remove the upper lid on your ink cartridge to make it look like the one in the following picture. You will need to use the knife for this, so please be very careful and keep the cartridge and yourself from any harm.
