An ink refill adapter (10) to be used for refilling a used ink cartridge (14) with ink from a separate ink container (12). The ink refill adapter (10) includes a support plate (24) and a conduit (28) extending through the support plate (24). When the ink refill adapter (10) is placed on the used cartridge (14), the ink container (12) and the ink cartridge (14) are brought into full engagement via the adapter (10) so that the ink in the ink container (12) flows down by gravity into the conduit (28) and further into the cartridge (14). The ink refill adapter (10) is designed so as to form an air escape between the adapter (10) and the cartridge (14) so as to let the air inside the cartridge (14) go out smoothly as the ink flows in and is further provided with a safety cap (42) that has an ink absorbing material (44). <IMAGE> |
