How to Use the EZ30-T-HP Drill for Ink Cartridge Refills Without Silicone Plugs

Question: Hi Kevin, I noticed that the EZ30-T-HP drill on your site comes with a drill for the ink cartridge but doesn’t include silicone plugs for sealing the refill holes. Can you clarify what the drill is for if there are no plugs, and provide an instruction sheet or further explanation on how to use it?
 
Answer: Thank you for your message, and I apologize for the late response. I know how urgent printer issues can be, but I would like to give you a measured and thorough answer. We appreciate your feedback, and I want to thank you, particularly, for all your support of our YouTube channel, BCH Technologies.

To clarify the confusion, the EZ30-T-HP drill refills HP-integrated ink cartridges. Note that air channels are exposed to the air at the refill hole. You do not need a silicone plug to seal the refill hole. Plugging the hole might even prevent the cartridge from operating in the first place. The purpose of the drill is to widen the existing hole so that a syringe can go in to refill it.
 
Once you’ve refilled the cartridge, there’s no reason to seal the hole. However, if you're worried about dirt or contaminants entering the cartridge, you can cover the hole with desk tape. Be sure to pinch a tiny pinhole in the tape so air can still flow but not so it seals completely airtight. This will keep the cartridge clean enough to work correctly on your printer.
 
Printer issues can be a tricky affair owing to the nature of the problems being hands-on. So, we cannot offer remote troubleshooting, recommendations, or printer repair assistance. We provide an on-site assessment and repair service through our nearby diagnostic center ( https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service ), but due to high volume and demand, we serve on a first-come, first-served basis. So, you will wait a few weeks before we get your printer in for service. Our services are designed so that you decide whether you require your complete printer to be repaired or only particular components and how to get started. However, we recognize that we aren't the cheapest rates around. So, we strongly encourage you to try self-help through internet research. To get things rolling, you can refer to YouTube itself, or you can visit the homepage of our YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies) and see the videos there (You can also search for specific videos using the search Icon just right of 'About' on the menu bar). I get dozens of questions about the videos on specific topics every day. I have created videos for the last nine years; it can be hard to recall each one. So, it would be best to use YouTube’s search function. YouTube may also recommend relevant videos from other channels that can help.
We appreciate your support, and thank you for listening!
