Refilling the HP 303, HP 303XL, HP 305 or HP 305XL black ink cartridge at home is very easy and can offer you great results, with very little equipment. All you need is a syringe, plus some universal black ink. Simply remove the label, widen the fill holes (if necessary) and fill the relevant chambers of the HP 303, HP 303XL, HP 305 or HP 305XL ink cartridge with the amount of ink mentioned below.
When refilling the Hewlett Packard ink cartridges below, we recommend injecting the following amount of black ink into the fill holes closest to the printhead:
HP 303/3YM61AE: 5ml
HP 303XL/T6N04AE: 5ml
HP 305/3YM61AE: 5ml
HP 305XL/3YM62AE: 5ml
Even though the original HP 303, HP 303XL, HP 305 or HP 305XL contain different amounts of ink, the sponges within are the same size, so you can use the 5ml of black ink in either type of cartridge when refilling.
This guide is intended purely to show where to inject the ink into these cartridges and how much we recommend using. For full refill instructions for these cartridges, please click here.

In all likelihood, you will be able to fit more ink in the HP 303XL, but we are yet to get our hands on sufficient empties to experiment. We will endeavour to update this article and produce new videos when we have them, but would recommend you playing safe with this lower fill for now.
