Refill Canon TR4700 Ink Cartridges
Step 1: Remove the Ink Cartridges

For this delicate procedure, there is the removal of that plug with a pin or sometimes a small screwdriver.
Step 3: Refill the Syringe Ink
Using a refill syringe that is usually found in your refill kit, carefully fill the syringe with the right kind of ink. Fill the black cartridge with black ink and the color cartridge with color ink. Use your refill kit to fill the right kind of ink properly.
Step 4: Refill the Cartridge

Step 5: Sealing the Cartridge
Once you have filled the cartridge, seal the refill hole with a rubber plug or tape if you do not have a rubber plug.

So, everything’s just fine; you’re checking as far as the ink flows are concerned whether the printer is printing the right stuff.
