The provided instructions are reasonable clear, though definitely foreign. If you've never attempted such a task before, you'll need a steady hand and an area suitable for working with the small syringe and (staining!) ink packs.
The kit comes with a pair of cheap plastic gloves (not pictured) like the ones that come with hair dye kits, but since you've working with dyes and small tools you will inevitably spill a few dabs. Prepare for it and you'll be fine.
My biggest complaint with this refill approach is not the product itself, but that the original PG-210XL cartridge--paired with my printer, at least--does not detect that the ink has been refilled since the cartridges were not designed for user servicing. My specific printer (Canon MP480) still reports "Low Ink" despite many hard resets, reinsertions etc. Again, this has nothing to do with the kit nor quality of the ink, but this should have been disclosed in the product information. Since the printer always reports "Low Ink", you're software has no way of determining when you should refill it again. This will definitely bother some people.

I picked this up to refill my black Canon 210 cartridges. I have used InkTec kits before and they all come with the same standard components. Refilling a empty cartridge is as easy as placing the sticker on, making a small hole and putting the cartridge into the holder. You refill, suction out a little from the bottom and you are good to print!My only complaint is I wish they would include a pair of cheap latex gloves instead of the flimsy sandwich bag kind you tend to see in hair coloring kits. The kit will refill a standard 210 cart about 4-5 times, so you can't beat the price as a 210 Canon cart is over $20.
One tip, make sure you refill over some old newspaper or in a sink with running water. Do not let any spilled ink sit on a surface, wipe it away as soon as possible if you spill any.

I had my doubts going in since I've used products like this before with mixed results. Bottom line is it worked great! Follow the directions carefully. They're printed in so many languages that it was a little confusing (thus 4 instead of 5 stars). Printer will never see the cartridge as full and I had to reset the printer so that it would continue to print (a simple matter detailed in the instructions). Printed results are excellent.Honest reviews on Refill Kit for Canon PG-210, PG-210XL, PIXMA, MP240, MP245, MP258
This experience may just be uniquely mine, but I thought I'd post this to clear up any potential confusion about this product, as the picture of the product no longer matches the description. I ordered this inktec refill kit, which is supposed to come with 2 10ml bottles of ink and all the listed tools as per the description. What I received was the 3 ink bottles that is now the main picture and a little drill bit. It appears to be a homemade kit with a print-out for instructions. I did order it from one of the private sellers, rather than amazon directly, so I don't know if you'll get the same results if you order from a different seller. Anyways, what I got is the item that is now the main pictured (it wasn't the main picture when I ordered..) and not the one detailed in the description.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Refill Kit for Canon PG-210, PG-210XL, PIXMA, MP240, MP245, MP258
Really helpful product. I have been refilling cartridges for several years. You need to buy this kit originally and then just buy bulk ink. Make sure you buy the type of ink that the mfg specifies.
