Hi, I have a Brother DCP-110C inkjet printer. To do my bit for the environment, and 'cos I am skint, I bought an ink refill kit from Tesco for £4.99 for colour and black!

Anyway, there are detailed instructions how to refill for each make of cartridge, yet, it appears that for my Brother cartridge, after I have manually drilled a small hole into it, I do not need to fill the hole with a plug :eek: For most of the other cartridges, it states to do so, but not for mine.

Has anyone come across this before, does it sound reasonable? I am just a bit concerned about placing this cartridge with a hole in it back into my printer!

I'm not familiar with that printer but some carts have an ink reservoir (i.e. liquid ink) while others store their ink "suspended" in sponge.

I suspect your Brother falls into the latter category...............ink "absorbed", can't spill etc.

Good theory anyway..............:grin: .

Well, I went for it and just tried the newly refilled cartridge, without plugging the hole and it was fine :)

So, all being well, I have saved a few quid, and done my bit for the environment (landfill and all that) :thumbsup:
