Storage: 

Store edible ink in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure lid is replaced and screwed tightly between use.

How to Fill the Refillable Edible Ink Cartridges:

1. Remove the plastic wrappers from your edible cartridges and check you have a full set of the following cartridges - BLACK (581), CYAN (581), MAGENTA (581), YELLOW (581), LARGE BLACK (580).

PLEASE NOTE: you will have TWO black edible ink cartridges (BK & PGBK) - you will need to fill BOTH cartridges with the same black edible ink.

2. Sterilise the blunt needles in boiling water or milton solution before use. 

3. Attach the blunt needles to the end of each syringe, dedicate one syringe per colour of edible ink (you may wish to label your syringe to avoid mixing ink colours). 

4. Remove the yellow pull tab from your first cartidge but do not remove from orange cradle.

5. Draw up the corresponding colout of edible ink in your syringe (IMPORTANT: ensure the colour ink matches the colour label on the cartridge, if you mix up the colours in the incorrect cartridges you cannot simply swap them in the printer as each chip is programmed for its dedicated colour and you will need to replace the cartridge in this case).

6. Remove the coloured plug from your edible ink cartiridge and keep to one side, inject the edible ink into the port hole and tilt your cartridge towards the sponge side to encourage ink flow throughout the absorbant part of the cartridge. 

7. Keep filling until the sponge is fully saturated and there is only a small (~3mm) air gap in the cavity side of the cartridge, each cartridge will take around 13-14ml of edible ink, the large cartridge will take more. 

8. Replace the coloured plug and repeat until you have filled all edible ink cartridges.

10. Open the lid of your edible printer and wait for the cartridge carriage to move into place. Carefully remove your first cartidge from the orange cradle - you will need to click the cartidge out from the back (non-lever side) first, and then gently tip forwards to remove to ensure the front lever is not compromised.

11. Insert each cartridge into your edible printer into the correct corresponding coloured slot and gently press down until it clicks into place.

12. Repeat until you have inserted all five cartridges and close the edible printer lid, follow the on-screen printer instructions.
