How to refill the HP 88 black, cyan, magenta and yellow ink cartridges

These ink cartridges work with ink tanks, which rely on the the print head processing the ink and doing all the printing. These are very used in Latin America, since they were sold along with several different printers available in the region.

These cartridges are compatible with the following printer models:  HP officejet pro k550, K550dtn, and k550dtwn. They also come in two versions: the regular size and the extra-large one.

Depending on the size for the cartridges, you will need to apply one  a specific amount of ink.For example, regular sized ink cartridges use 10ml of ink, while the extra-large versions use 30ml of ink. These cartridges work with water-based or dyed ink, expect for the HP 88 black one in both the regular and extra-large versions.

Steps to refill the HP 88 yellow, cyan, magenta and black ink cartridges:

1. First of all, keep in mind you’ll need to use a different syringe for every color.
2. Grab a piece of cloth, preferably black, for any ink spills that may occur. You may also use a flat surface you can clean up easily afterwards.

3. Take a good look at all the ink colors to avoid injecting the wrong one into a cartridge. This would end the cartridge’s working life, since ink color damaged are very hard to repair.

Step #1:
Before starting to refill your cartridge, place the cartridge on the piece of black cloth we mentioned earlier, or on a flat surface you can clean easily.

Step #2:
This cartridge, as well as all the others that have print heads just like it, are refilled by removing the bottom part of it, which will expose the cartridge’s injector, its pump and the exact refill location. Please take a look at the next picture to learn how to remove the botton.

where tag should be removed

You must cut exactly where the red line marks. This will help divide the cartridge in two, exposing everything that’s in the bottom of it.

Step #3:
Once you’ve removed the label from the cartridge, it should look like the one depicted in the following picture, where you’ll be able to appreciate all the areas we mentioned earlier. For this step, you will also need an empty, ink-free syringe, which you’ll use to try and take a small, rubber ball out of the cartridge. It’s marked on the picture with #1.

Please do this very carefully and slowly to keep the small ball from going all the way back into the cartridge. Once you take it out, make sure you have it and do not lose it.

Step #4:
You may now proceed to filling the syringe up with the proper amount of ink. If you’re refilling a regular cartridge, apply 10 of ink. If, on the other hand, you’re using the extra-large version, you should apply 30ml of ink.

Another thing you must keep in mind is that we do not recommend you use any kind of puncturing syringes when refilling this ink cartridge. The cartridges have a thin metal sheet inside them that is as frail as parchment paper and, if punctured by the needle, it could become damaged and leave your cartridge with a permanent ink spill. This is why we suggest you only insert the tip of the syringe into the cartridge to avoid piercing it at all.

Step #5:
After this entire procedure is finished, you may place the small rubber ball back on the cartridge, which acts like a plug that keeps the ink from coming out of it. Please do this very carefully to avoid pushing the ball into the cartridge; you could have a hard time finding another one like this, and you probably couldn’t take it out of the cartridge without damaging it.

Once you’ve put the ball back on the cartridge, leave the cartridge with this orifice facing downwards, just to make sure everything’s working properly and there isn’t any ink leaking either from the injection orifice or the location you just sealed with the plug.

Step #6:
Put the lid back on the bottom of the cartridge, and let it rest with the lid facing downwards to check for any problems or ink spills one more time. If you’ve followed all these steps to the letter, your cartridge should be printing properly.

However, if things don’t go according to plans, don’t worry, we’re here to help. You only have to leave a comment in the section below this post and we will gladly help you out.

After putting the small ball back on the cartridge, leave it with this orifice facing downwards, In this way, you can make sure everything came out well and that there isn’t any ink leaking from the cartridge, both from the injection site and the place you just sealed with the rubber ball.

Step #6:

3. Photographic paper 10 x 15 cm o 4" x 6"

If you, for example, select the A4 size on this menu but use a photographic paper sheet to copy a document, then the final copy will have the size of the photographic sheet instead of the A4 one.

Important note: do not lift the cover of the scanner or remove the original document while the printer’s still copying. This will distort the information and make the copies look bad.

How to print without borders on canon printers

Occasionally, we need to get rid of all the borders on our prints, whether it’s because we don’t want to see the borders on it, or because we need to delete the borders on the particular document we’re about to print.

Even if you make the document larger than it originally is and try to print it this way, you won’t be able to achieve a borderless print because your printing program has been configured to show every border. This option has been preset on your printer.

This is why we created this post, which we’ve extracted from the canon printer user manual. If you have the installation manual with you, we recommend you read it; printer manufacturers always include useful information that could help you use your printer in a better way.

When we talk about border or borderless printing, we’re referring to prints that look like the ones depicted in the following pictures. The first one has been printed with borders, and the second one without.

example of image with and without edges

The configuration procedure for borderless printing is the following:

Please keep in mind you must have already installed the corresponding drivers, and also to know a little bit about how to manipulate the way they function. Step #1:The first step is to open the printer’s settings to select the borderless printing option. You can locate this option on the page layout menu.

In order to enter the printer settings window, you must follow the next steps. However, this will all depend on the operating system you’re working with. If you wish to learn which operating system you’re using on your computer, please read the post how to find out which operating system I’m using.

Steps to enter your printer’s settings:

1. In windowsxp, select start menu - control panel - printers and other hardware - printers and faxes. 2. If you’re using windows7, click on start menu - printing devices.
Now select your printer model. On windows7, it’s usually depicted with a printer logo. Then open the file menu and select printing preferences. A new driver configuration window will appear. Step #2:Now that you’ve entered the printer’s preferences, you will be able to see many different options to choose from. Select the page setup option, located on the upper part of the window. This is the second option on the menu from left to right.

From now on, you could start getting a message every time you’re about to print, asking you to select this option or not for that particular printing job. Step #5:Check the type of paper you want to print with has been set as the default one. If you’re about to print with A4 paper, for example, make sure the page size on your printer is also A4. You can change or modify this on the page size option. Step #6:Now you must adjust the amount of extension according to your own needs. You will need to do this particular configuration using the gliding menu. If you go right, you’ll increase the size, and if you go left you’ll decrease it. Please take a look at the following picture.

How to clean the paper rollers on your canon printer

When we install a continuous ink system on our canon printers, and leave the ink tanks misplaced or in a higher angle than the actual ink cartridges, we usually see some ink bleeding from the tanks and land on the paper feeding rollers.

The paper sheets go through these rollers before coming out of the printer, so we could even say these rollers are responsible for transporting the sheets from one side to the other. If these rollers get dirty, the pages will also come out dirty and have a permanent streak of lines printed on the sheets, even if the ink cartridges aren’t releasing ink anymore. The following picture will show you how these rollers look.

presenting printer printing rollers

These rollers must be clean at all times, since the pages will be expulsed by them. The canon brand is well aware of this complication, so they have created a small tool to clean these rollers without having to get your hands in the printer.

You can use this tool by accessing your printer’s printer properties menu. On this menu you will also be able to notice the great interface canon has added to their printers. 

If you wish to access these tools on your canon printer, and have it clean the rollers itself, please stick to the following steps:

Step #1:

First, remove all the sheets from the printer’s entry paper tray, which you can usually find on the top of the printer. This is where the blank sheets enter the printer. Please remember to remove the printer completely sheet-free.

Step #2:

Afterwards, you must access the printer’s settings menu. You will need to follow one of the steps described below depending on the operating system you’re using. If you don’t know what’s yours, please read the following post to find out. Now that you’ve identified the system running on your printer, pyou may continue with this procedure.

1. For windowsxp, click on start menu - control panel - printers and other hardware - printers and faxes.

2. For windows7, you must only click on start menu - printer devices.

Please stick to the procedure that suits the operating system installed your own printer model. Now, open the file menu and select printer preferences, which is usually the third option from the top. This will open a new window where you’ll be able to customize your printer’s drivers.

print properties

Step #3:

Once you’ve reached the printer properties menu, look for the maintenance option in it. It’s usually located on the upper-right part of the menu, or on the first widget from right to left.

maintenance tab

Then, click on maintenance, look for the image that portrays the roller cleaning process, and click on it too. You must make sure the printer stays on until you’re done with this procedure. The roller cleaning image we mentioned usually looks like the one we’re about to show you.

icon for cleaning roller

Step #4:

Now that the cleaning process is done, please follow the procedure indicated by your printer and load three (3) A4 paper sheets. The sheets will be ejected from the printer and the procedure will be finished. If the problem continues and your rollers remain dirty, please repeat the entire cleaning tutorial.

Note: If the problem persists and notice the printer has stopped removing the stains from the roller, you will need to do this manually.

In order to clean them by hand, you must follow these instructions:

Turn the printer off - dab a piece of cloth in alcohol - clean the dirty area - move the rollers to get both sides cleaned - let the alcohol dry and repeat this procedure again.

How to install a continuous ink system on canon pixma ip2702 printers

This printer is one of the best home-use devices out there thanks to the japanese FINE 210 and 211 ink cartridges it works with. Since these ink cartridges hold a lot of ink in them, they’re usually chosen for CISS printing.

Continuous ink systems have revolutionized print savings, offering a large amount of printed pages for a relatively low cost in comparison to having to buy new ink cartridges every single time. This is what many customers have been looking for.

We recommend you use this printer only at home, and that you avoid printing large quantities of documents with it. This is not a multifunction printer and you will only be able to print with it.

The fact that it has a single task makes the entire system more effective: the simpler the printer, the fewer the problems it will have. A canon pixma ip2702 printer won’t have as many issues as other CISS printers, and you will be able to print many pages with it without having any issues.

As you probably know by now, continuous ink systems are a small customization you can install on your computer. The printer will gather ink from the ink tanks it brings, and use it for regular printing jobs. We recommend you read this following post regarding CISS components before giving this installation a try.

We also recommend you read the printer manufacturer’s instructions and stick to the printer’s own capacity, even if this continuous ink system offers you printing in large scales. You must always respect the rules and boundaries your printer works under, and the canon pixma ip2070 is not the exception.

Read all the information regarding this installation process attentively, and please contact us by leaving a comment in the section below this post is anything goes wrong with it.

canon pixma iP2700 printer

CISS installation procedure for the canon pixma ip2070 printer:

We suggest you only use continuous ink systems that include silicone hoses. They are very flexible and frail, and will contribute to your printer’s overall functioning. They will not get in the way of the cartridge carriage and will contribute to ink circulation.

continuous ink system for canon printer

Here’s everything you’ll need for this procedure:

1. You will need a canon pixma ip2702, preferably a new one.
2. Canon 210 and 211 ink cartridges. A brand new printer usually brings regular sized ink cartridges with it, which will give you top printing quality. We also recommend you use brand new ink cartridges. Once this original set of ink cartridges becomes damaged, please buy the extra-large ones to get a higher page yield and to use the same cartridges for a longer period of time.
3. Ink bleeders for the cartridges.. The next picture will show you how they look.

4. You will also need a drill bit to make a hole large enough for the hose connectors we’ll attach to the ink cartridge. Please take a look at the following image.

piece to make the holes in the cartridge

We will now show you what kind of connectors you will need for the hoses on your canon ink cartridges. We recommend you take these plugs or connectors to a hardware shop, and have them find the proper drill bit for you. This will assure no air escapes the CISS when installing it. We cannot give you an exact measure, but we’re sure you’ll be able to find the one you need there.

5. A 4-colors continuous ink system for canon printers. Most CISS bring all their accessories with them, as displayed in the picture above. However, the parts we’ve just mentioned aren’t included in some of these ink systems.

6. Dyed or water-based ink. You can also use pigmented inks if you have them at hand, but we recommend you read the following post regarding the basic differences between these two. These ink tanks hold up to four (4) ounces of ink inside them.

Please read this post slowly to avoid any confusions or misunderstandings. This tutorial may or may not work for you, even if you’ve followed these steps strictly. If this is your case, please contact us by leaving a comment in the section below this post.

CISS installation procedure for canon printers:

Remember to follow all these steps just as we’ve described them in this post. Before you begin, we suggest you do this entire procedure on a flat surface you don’t mind getting covered in ink, and using some form of protection for your hands, such as latex gloves.

You may have one or more ink spills during this tutorial, so please put a piece of cloth or plastic on the surface to avoid staining it.

Step #1:
First, make sure the ink cartridges aren’t clogged by the time of the CISS installation. This procedure is usually done in brand new printers but, if you’re working with an used model, please check all the cartridges and print heads are working well and reaching high print quality standards.

You should now print a test sheets to review all these things. The printer’s own manual could come in handy when installing it and using it for the first time, so please stick to the information inside it.

If you’re using a brand new printer, we also suggest you print several test sheets just to make sure everything’s working properly before installing the CISS on it. If everything’s working properly, you may process. Please read the following post to learn how to print a test sheet with your printer.

Step #2:
Now that you’ve printed a test sheet and checked the print heads are working properly,  turn your printer off and open the gate that leads to the ink cartridges. You may now disconnect the printer’s power cord and move the cartridge carriage to a comfortable changing position.

Keep in mind the printer must be turned off if you wish to move the cartridge carriage; this will not affect the printer at all as long as you do it slowly and delicately.

Step #3:
Take all the ink cartridges out of the printer. If you need help with this, please read the following post. Be very careful when removing the cartridges and avoid touching the contacts and print heads on it.

We even recommend you keep the original plastic packaging the come in, just to put them back inside whenever you’re drilling them. The next image will show you where these parts are: #1 indicates the contacts, and #2 marks the print heads.

connectors and injectors

The next image will show you what specific packaging we’re talking about on your canon 210 and 211 ink cartridges. We suggest you drill and puncture the ink cartridges once they’re inside this packagings to avoid touching the contacts and print heads on them.

wherein the cartridge container arriving

Step #4:
In this step, you must drill the ink cartridges to install the CISS hoses on them. You will use the same drill bit we mentioned earlier for this. The next image will show you exactly where to puncture the cartridge.

Make sure you leave no drilling residues inside the ink cartridge; you should also keep this bit as straight and firm as possible when drilling. Please keep in mind these holes must be a bit smaller than the actual hose connectors, just to keep all the air out.

Important note: When drilling the cartridge, we recommend you cover the upper orifice on the cartridge and drill on the lower-left side of it. You should keep the distance of one hose between the upper orifice and the new drilling site, just to make sure your printer will recognize this tricolor ink cartridge in the future. If you don’t do this, a certain part in the print heads will get in the way of the contacts and avoid them to reach the printer completely.

The next picture will show you where to drill your ink cartridge. Please take a look at it.

make the perforations where

Step #5:

Now that you’ve drilled your ink cartridges, please install the hose connectors we mentioned earlier. They must be attached firmly to the ink cartridge, letting no air pass and helping the connectors work perfectly. Now look at the next picture.

cl-211 cartridge with holes for installation

Step #6:

Once you’ve installed the hose connectors on your cartridge, fill the ink tanks up with four (4) ounces of dyed ink per color.

Step #7:

You should now add all the ink colors though the proper orifice. Please have the cartridges out of the printer while you’re doing this, and keep them in the same positions they would be at inside the printer.

You will need to cut and adjust the CISS hoses depending on the distances between the cartridges, which tend to vary from one to the other. Take na look at the next picture.

distance hoses for system installation

Step #8:

Install the CISS joints to the hoses. We call these little elbows the CISS joints because they help the ink system to adjust to the printer, and keeps it out of the printing process.

Step #9:

Attach each ink tank to its corresponding ink cartridge. You could test these hoses out on your printer, just to verify the different lengths of the hoses and how they work inside it.

Step #10: 

Now that the continuous inks system has been successfully installed in your cartridges, you will need to get the ink flowing from the tanks to the cartridges. The cartridge bleeder will help you extract some of the ink from the cartridges when they’ve been refilled.

In this particular case, you must remove some ink from them and make the ink from the tanks reach the cartridge through the hoses you installed on them.

You may stop once you notice the ink has moved from the tanks and filled the cartridges. Once this has happened, you must stop pushing any more ink to prevent overfilling the cartridge and causing ink spills inside the printer.

The CISS hoses should now look like the ones in the next picture after you’ve filled them with ink completely. Please take a look at the following picture for an accurate depiction.

inks complete system

Step #11:

You must now clean all ink residues left in your printer during the installation process, just to keep your paper sheets clean and ink-free. Please be very careful around the rollers where the sheets move, and remove all the ink you see on them, if any, with a napkin. You should also look for any paper napkin residues, given the case you used one.

After all this procedure is done, your CISS should look a bit like the one in the following picture. Make sure the ink hoses aren’t rubbing or crashing against any of the printer’s components, since this could block the cartridge carriage in it. If this happens, your printer will send out an error message. Please take a look at the following picture.

carry ink cartridges

Step #12:

You have to clean any ink residue that appears on the printer to avoid pages out stained, be very careful around the area where they spend pages if bleeding cartridge has fallen ink have to remove it, use napkins and no residue napkin either. 

After all the above procedure to do an installation like the photo that appears next, we must look to the ink does not rub hoses and to prevent the printer carriage jam because in the future this will present an error in our printer. see picture...

Step #13:

Finally, you will need to print a test sheet with this printer now that the continuous ink system has been installed. You should look for the sensor on the ink cartridge gate, which should stay open during this printing process.

Now have your printer print a few test sheets and take a close look at the ink cartridges. This will let you know of any obstruction or jam that may be occuring inside it. If there aren’t any, just place the hoses back in place and resume your regular printing. If you have any questions regarding this subject, please post a comment in the section below this post and we will be happy to help you.
