Refilling the ink cartridges of an HP 970CXI inkjet printer can be a tricky process to people who have never tried the process before or are more experienced with other printers, and thus it is a wise idea to reference a YouTube demonstration video or online article explaining the process in some detail to get it right. It is important to always ensure that you have completed the process correctly as a quick or sloppy refill can damage your printer and effect the flow of ink, thus reducing the quality of your print jobs. People who have experience refilling the cartridges from other printer companies can get caught up by the misleading labels and two different cartridge designs used in this printer, thus effecting the quality of their work.

As you will see in the demonstration video, HP 970CXI ink cartridges come in two varieties: the black cartridge, which is bigger and includes a bladder inside, and the colored cartridge that uses a sponge instead. Refilling the colored cartridge is incredibly simple since there are already three easily accessible holes to insert your syringe in and refill the ink levels. The trick is to remember that the ink colors go from yellow on the left, magenta in the center, and cyan on the right–do not go by the sticker on the cartridge, it is misleading. Refilling the black cartridge is slightly more complex and requires you to push a ball bearing into the cartridge before starting. Once the hole is clear inflate the cartridge with a bit of air, insert your syringe and fill with about 45 milliliters of ink. After it is filled with ink you will need to plug the insertion hole once more, which can be done with a regular BB and a piece of tape. Remember that the black cartridge needs to pressurize before being replaced, so place it nozzle down on a paper towel and allow it to leak some ink to pressurize before placing the cartridge back in your printer.

If that process sounds overly complex, fear not, a demonstration video will make it crystal clear. Once the process has been demonstrated to you it is much easier to visualize and will make refilling your HP 970CXI a quick and easy process that will never confuse or intimidate you again.
