How to refill HP 932 K-BK and HP 933 M-C-Y ink cartridges

First of all, you should know both the HP officejet 6100 and the HP officejet 6600 models are compatible with the following cartridges: HP 932 black CN057AN one (regular size); the HP HP 932 black CN053AN one (extra-large version); the HP 933 magenta/cyan/yellow  CN058AN, CN059AN and CN060AN models (regular size); and the HP 933 magenta/cyan/yellow CN054AN, CN055AN and CN056AN ones (extra-large version), respectively.

These modern printers are one of the last HP models that cover all sorts of business and office printing needs. Their ink cartridges yield a bit more pages than previous models, which were create for home use and worked with cheap, money-saving ink cartridges.

However, each cartridges shape and system is different, and they now work with a single ink color. They also lack inner sponges and have an integrated print head.

Refill procedure for these HP ink cartridges:

Since these particular ones are different than the previous models, we needed to create a new way of refilling them.

In order to refill the properly, you will need the following tools:
1. A small syringe.
2. A funnel or cone that fits the ink injection site.

We recommend you use a new glue dispenser, the small tip that can be found on regular liquid glue containers. Always use a new one to avoid clogging your ink cartridge with dry glue residues that may be inside it.

This is the small funnel you should use for this process, but you can replace it with any other tool or utensil that fulfills the same task of keeping the needle from piercing the ink pockets inside the cartridges.
You could still refill your ink cartridges without using any protection gear or tools, but you’d have to extremely careful.

Now, you can fill the syringe with 10mls of dyed or water-based ink.

This amount of ink, however, is only our personal recommendation, and it will depend on whether you’re using a regular or extra-large ink cartidge.

Then, introduce the needle once more into the cartridge, reaching only half of the plastic funnel, and press on it a bit to loosen the spring located inside the cartridge. Please do this as slowly as possible to avoid damaging it, and suck all the air inside it until you’re able to see some ink coming out.

The adequate ink quantity for regular sized ink cartridges is 10ml, while for extra-large versions you will need 15ml of ink. If you’re refilling a black extra-large cartridge, please add up to 20ml of ink.

Finally, you must know the original ink cartridges that come with your printer cannot be refilled. If you, however, choose to do this, your printer will permanently say the ink levels are low, and it will not allow you to print normally.

On the other hand, refilling another ink cartridge you’ve purchased somewhere else shouldn’t cause you this particular problem, and your printer will be able to measure the actual amount of ink inside it.
