I have got one of these and very quickly the ink has run out. I bought a universal refilling kit. I drilled the hole and refilled the black ink,as per instructions, however then comes the tricky bit.. the colour cartridge, where you have to put in three colours of ink, how do you know the positions where to drill the holes and then where to put each separate colour? has anybody done it? I would appreciate any help on this. thank you.

Oh dear. Don't the instructions with the ink kit or on the suppliers site tell you?
If not there's an info at jettec.com where you can search for the refill points of most printer cartridges...
..and if yours is not listed by printer or by cartridge number just use the contact us and ask them. I got an answer very quickly.
They have competetive prices for pattern refill cartridges and ink refill kits too.Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.

Many thanks for that, Squeaky! I have looked on jettec.com and found the easy to use instructions. Just the job. I can do it now. The instructions that came with the refil kit were not very explanatory at all, just for other similar printers, but I think my cartridges fit several lexmarks and mine is newer than the instructions in the refil box. this site is loads better. Just have to hope it all works again, once I've finished!!! Plus I can't find all of the instructions which came with it easily and quickly - but this what you told me is probably even better.0
