Can HP C6280 ink cartridges be refilled?

I bought ink to refill an HP C6280 ink cartridges but I can't find instructions for this style cartridge anywhere. Does anyone know how to refill these or is it not possible?Can HP C6280 ink cartridges be refilled?
Yes, they can be refilled. See below for instructions:





Refilling the Black Cartridge:


1. Use the enclosed eyelet screw to create the filling hole at the top of the cartridge.


2. Fill the syringe with ink. Insert the needle into the filling hole and push down into the cartridge. Inject up to 20ml of ink or until the cartridge is full. Do not exceed 30ml on these cartridges. It is always better to under fill than over fill any cartridge. You can always add more ink later.


3. Once your cartridge has been filled, remove the needle from the cartridge and plug the top of the cartridge with the plugs provided in your refill kit. Please make sure to seal the plug tight so that no extra air goes in our out of the cartridge as it prints. You will also avoid any


spills as well.


Note: OEM (original) black cartridges usually come with only 12ml of ink, so if you’re refilling an original it may only hold 12ml. Uni-Kit compatible cartridges hold more.





Refilling the Color Cartridges:


1. Use the enclosed eyelet screw to create the filling hole at the top of the cartridge.


2. Fill the syringe with ink. Insert the needle into the filling hole and push down into the cartridge. Inject up to 9ml of ink or until the cartridge is full. Do not exceed 9ml on


these cartridges. It is always better to under fill than over fill any cartridge. You can always add more ink later.


3. Once your cartridge has been filled, remove the needle from the cartridge and plug the top of the cartridge with the plugs provided in your refill kit. Please make sure to seal the plug tight so that no extra air goes in our out of the cartridge as it prints. You will also avoid any


as well.





Note: OEM (original) color cartridges usually come with only about 4ml of ink, so if you’re refilling an original it may only hold 4ml.
