Refill HP 802 Cartridge
This is a very detailed piece of information meant for beginners. If you have some
experience with refilling inkjets, just skip the introduction.
Please read the precautions before attempting a refill
The HP 802 cartridge series is a relatively new series of cartridges being
manufactured by HP.
This cartridge is available in India for use in three printer models HP 1050, HP 2050
and the wireless HP 3050 (any maybe others).

About refilling cartridges:
Many people have doubts about refilling their printer's cartridges because of
extensive claims being made by manufacturers regarding quality, printer failure, void
warranty and a host of other reasons. Please follow the blog to the end to find a
reasonable answer to all these reasons while we first get on with the process of
refilling for the impatient ones. But just be assured that the process is completely
safe.
About HP 802 Cartridges
These new cartridges are available in two variants -- SMALL and LARGE.

HP 802 Small Black Cartridge
Ink Yields*:
HP 802 Small Black [CH561ZZ]: 120 pages
HP 802 Large Black [CH563ZZ]: 360 pages
HP 802 Small Tricolor [CH562ZZ]: 100 pages
HP 802 Large Tricolor [CH564ZZ]: 300 pages
*These yields are measured under standard conditions using an ISO testing suite (a
set of pages printed repeatedly until the ink finishes) and these yields are rated at a
coverage of only 5% of a page.
Want to print images and high density text? You could be running out of ink a lot
sooner than expected.
At the heart of an 802
The way these cartridges work is that they have a sponge inside the cartridge (and
that is what takes up space inside the cartridge, there's no complicated circuitry
involved). When the printer signals the cartirdge through the contact pins, portions of
the head heat up forcing the ink from inside to outside and onto the paper (hence
the name "thermal inkjet")

The sponge removed from an HP 802 Small Black cartridge.
This sponge (from a small black) measures approximately 3.5 cm * 1.5 cm * 1.5 cm
and is inside the cartridge and this is the thing we'd be operating on while refilling
the cartridge.
You'll now understand that increasing yields is only about increasing the size of the
sponge and injecting a few more ml of ink -- for which the HP guys are charging us a
fortune.
Anyways, the job we're supposed to do is getting a syringe needle into this sponge
and injecting 1.5 ml (small black) or 4 ml (large black) of ink into it.
Refill Process
Take out the black cartridge from the printer and peel off the top sticker from the
cartridge to expose the refill hole(s). [Don't worry if you damage the sticker label
since it is not necessary to put it back after refilling]

802 Cartridge after peeling off the sticker label
The numbering stands when you hold the cartridge with the golden circuit
strip facing away from you.
Holes 1,2 and 3 have the sponge immediately below them and it is one of
these three holes that we will use to refill the cartridge. Please DO NOT use
HOLES 4 or 5 since you'd dumping ink straight into the container and
probably will damage the cartridge.

Use a standard refill ink brand and any syringe.
A 250ml bottle of black pigmented branded ink should cost you anywhere between
Rs. 250 to Rs. 350. 250ml is sufficient ink for more than 2500 pages.
1) Fill up a syringe with 1 to 1.5 ml of ink.

/AAAAAAAAABY/6kyUNHw8oPs/s1600/2012-02-19+09.54.12.jpg]
2) Place the needle in HOLE 3 of the cartridge
[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G3Z2BK0fQ5I/T0B8Ld0unuI
/AAAAAAAAABg/8SVs-Y3GfH0/s1600/2012-02-19+09.54.53.jpg]
3) S-L-O-W-L-Y inject ink into the sponge. Make sure you take 20-25 seconds to
inject that 2 ml ink since it needs to get distributed into the sponge. Making it fast
would probably make the ink leak out of the head risking damage of circuit. MAKE
SURE you place some tissue below the cartridge since some ink is bound to flow
out while refilling.
4) Remove the needle and cap the syringe.
5) Clean the head portion of the cartridge with a tissue paper for any overflowing ink.
[Don't use too much force, the head is a fragile part]
6) Place the cartridge back in the printer and allow it to stand for 5-6 hours before
you attempt printing. The ink needs to reach near the head before you can properly
print.
Precautions
1) Do not touch the metallic ink strip or allow any ink to reach that portion or you'll
damage the circuit.

2) After refilling, empty the syringe and insert the needle one by one in hole 4 and 5
and pull to suck out any ink that's overflown into the cartridge from the sponge.
3) Do not insert a cartridge into the printer while the ink is flowing out of the print
head [bottom part]. Absorb any excess on a soft tissue paper
4) Do not wipe the head with anything except a soft tissue. You may use Isopropyl
Alcohol to clean that portion. Printhead is a very delicate part.
Cost Comparison
Refilling cartridges is a very cheap option when compared to buying a new cartridge
every time.
I've been using this cartridge for more than 8 months now. It's a small black 802
which I've refilled way too many times to remember.
[http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gyMWYK7TZQA/T0B-Zy90deI/AAAAAAAAABo/NwIEJQTl1sc
/s1600/Pages.png]
My printer's total page count shows ~ 2100 pages. Discount the 100 pages that
were printed with the starter cartridge, I've been able to squeeze out 2000 pages
from a HP 802 small black. AND it's still going on.
Small Black costs Rs. 425/- and prints about a hundred regular pages making the
cost of a print Rs. 4.25/-.
Compare this to a refilled system, assume a page output of 2500 pages per
cartridge -- it would cost you 1) A cartridge (Rs. 425/-) and the refill stuff -- syringe,
ink bottle, tissue (~ Rs. 300).
Refill HP 802 http://refillhp802.blogspot.in/2012/02/refill-hp-802.html
6 of 17 10-02-14 1:46 PM
Refilled ink would cost you Rs. 725 / 2500 pages, that is approximately 29 paise per
page.
Refilled Yields
My personal experience is that a refilled small black would last 40-45 pages so if
you're into heavy volume printing or you can't bear refilling too frequently, I suggest
you get a HP 802 large black which has a significantly larger sponge. Refilling a
large black would require approximately 4-5 ml of ink.
Expected Problems
If you get no output OR streaks of black after printing from a refilled cartridge,
remove the cartridge from the printer. Cover the holes with some clean cloth and
blow air into the cartridge. This would force the ink near the head. Wipe off any
excess ink that comes out of the head and then try printing.
I have updated the FAQ(s). Please read.

I've filled my HP 802 tri color small cartridge with wrong colors(Magenta inplace of Yellow & Yellow in place of Magenta). This was the first time I'm refillingmy cartridge & I've done wrongly. All my printouts are getting mismatchedcolors. How to solve the problem ? Please tell me

@Vasista
I would recommend that you print out as many pages as you can sothat the ink in all the color sponges is exhausted. Then, refill thecartridge with the correct colors, print a few more pages and then tryif the cartridge begins to print normally.
I will try to attach an image that has all the colors.

I have used refilling method using syringe and has printed about 1200 pages.The problem I faced was saturation of sponge, which was overcome by inksuction tool from ebay. Both the inklevels has shown empty. I have nowinstalled CISS on this unit and now the printer prints a separator page at first ofevery job. How to solve this problem?

I am using the syringe method on large black cartridge and myprinter (Deskjet 3050 Wireless) prints a seperator (totally blank)page at the starting of the print job.
I am myself trying to find out the solution to this but I recommendthat you try aligning the cartridges once and then try out if it works.
BTW: Where did you get the CISS from?? Please let me know sinceI print about 100 pages a day and its really a headache refilling itevery day.

I will create a dedicated page for the 802 colored cartridge shortly.
For the time being, just read the blog on how to refill and here are the specificsof the color.
Hold the colored cartridge with the single hole facing farthest away from you.
The left hole (choose any one of the two) gets Red / MagentaThe topmost (single hole) gets YellowThe right hole (choose any one of the two) gets Cyan / Blue
Inject 1.5 to 2.0 ml of each color respectively for the small cartridgeInject about 3.0 ml of each color respectively for the large cartridge
Allow the cartridge to stand for a few hours so that the inks reach the head.

Please guide what if1) Ink is injected in hole 1 or 22) Excess ink is not sucked through holes 4 & 53) Attempted to print immediatelyThis question has come because, I could not print any page as blank papercame out when I have refilled and when got refilled with a professional, thesame cartridge printed properly! of course with a warning stating that thecartridge may be spurious! Solve the puzzle that the same cartridge prints whengot refilled by a professional re filler and not when done with a syringe
Reply
Refill Man 10 May 2012 04:33
@ABC
For small cartridges, ink must be injected through 1 or 2 since the sponge liesimmediately below them and not below 4 and 5.
Any attempts to print immediately will give NO OUTPUT.
The reason behind this mysterious puzzle is that we are not using an "Inksuction tool" to force the ink to the head while the professional refillers do use it.
How it works it that they put it on the head of the cartridge and suck some ink.Due to pressure change, the refilled ink reaches near the head immediately andyou can print immediately.

When you do not use that tool, you can't print immediately because then the inkreaches the head by action of mother Earth's gravity with isn't as fast as thesuction tool.
Please look at EBay for 802 Ink suction tool if you want immediate prints afterrefilling.

Only Inkjet specific inks can be used with the cartridge. Please don't try anyother ink (however cheap it may be). You'll only end up damaging the cartridge.
250 ml of inkjet ink (InkTEC Brand) would cost you Rs. 250 to Rs. 300.Probably enough to print 3000 pages with the 802 cartridge. Cheap enoughtisn't it?

1) If your printer doesn't recognise the cartridge (i.e. if the cart. isdamaged) then it would show some kind of blinking lights.
2) If that is not the case, fill up the cartridge as much as you can(without leaking any ink) and then let the cartridge rest overnight inthe printer. This way the ink will reach the head by action of gravity.If your cartridge is OK then the next morning you'll be able to print.

First of all make sure you fill the cartridge fully.
Allow the cartridge to rest overnight in the printer. I had similar issues. Eitheryou leave it overnight or if you want instant prints, then you will have to buy anink suction tool that will bring the ink near the printhead instantly.

Hi,Am told that HP 61 cartridge is compatible with HP 1000 Deskjet, which usesHP 802 cartridge, is it true?Second, can any refill kit be used to refill 802 cartridge, or it has to be specificfor 802 or 61?
Reply
Refill Man 9 June 2012 13:11
As far as I know, HP 61 cartridge is for the Americas and won't becompatible for the printers made for India. Why are you interested inHP 61 anyways?
Yes, any refill kit can be used to refill the HP 802 as long as the typeof ink and the suction tool are compatible. In my opinion, there's nospecific kit for generic cartridges such as 21, 27, 802, etc., becauseI have used the same ink to refill 5 different HP inkjet cartridges andthey all work fine.

Yes there is. There is an ink suction tool that you attach to the head at thebottom and then pull the plunger to force ink to the head. You can find it at EbayIndia for as low as Rs. 350.

Rakesh and Hirak
There is one "jugaad" way to force the ink out. Cover the 5 holes on the top witha clean cloth. Then force air with your mouth on the cloth. This will createpressure and force the ink out. I used this way until I had the suction tool.
One more suggestion. Suppose that your cartridge gives 40 prints on a refill, Isuggest you to refill it after 30 prints. This way you won't go "blank". Printing
blank seriously damages the head since there's no liquid to absorb thegenerated heat.

As far as the quality is concerned, you won't notice any difference.

For the colored ones, you will definitely get a difference.

A few questions, the last refill for me lasted around only 20 printouts, I have aHP small and refilled it with 2 ml and the printouts were high volume, but withthe same type of printouts the original cartridge lasted much longer, is it normalfor refilled ink to last less than the original?
Also how to find out the total no. of pages printed so far, as you have shownabove?

Yes it is true that refilled cartridges give less output. Please read the post "HP802 Large Advantage" for the comparison on refilled and new cartridge output.

Brother, I have 3 questions;
1. Can I place "802 large" in the "same slot of 802 small"? Or should I change/alter the placement slot? In earlier printers we could not use colored cartridgewith the larger version. Is it still the same and we can not use colored cartridgewhen used with Black Large??
2. I had wrongly filled up the 802 small cartridge from the other side by drilling ahole in the rear wall (Well now I have blocked it using mseal). I am still notgetting the prints. DO you think the cartridge is now damaged?
3. My Inktec Ink bottle is old say about 5 years. Hope I can I still use the ink?
