Cartridge Care Tips

Inkjet Cartridge Care Tips

• Store cartridges in a cool, dry place.  Sandwich bag in the refrigerator works well.  NEVER LEAVE CARTRIDGES EMPTY OR FULL IN A HOT CAR!
• Never touch the electrical contacts or print head on a cartridge with your fingers.  Don’t shock the cartridge.
• Gently wipe off the print head (where the ink comes out) of an ink cartridge with a damp paper towel before inserting into the printer.
• If your cartridge came with a clip, put the empty cartridge back into the clip.  If not, use a zip lock bag.  Never use scotch tape in attempt to reseal.
• Store cartridges in the upright position (print head down) when they are not being used to prevent cross contamination of colors.
• Dell printers and some Lexmark printers will read "low ink" when you put in a full, refilled cartridge.  The meters on these printers are inaccurate when using refilled cartridges.  All you can do is keep printing until your print fades.  You may want to consider getting a second set of cartridges so you can rotate.
• Ink does not come out of clothing, so be careful when you are handling cartridges.
• If your printer has a cleaning function, use it when print quality begins to deteriorate.
• Clean the electrical contacts inside your printer as directed in your printer manual.
• Do not continue to print if you are out of ink.  Ink acts as a coolant for the print head.  If you print without ink, you will burn the print head.
• Fill empty cartridges as soon as possible.  This prevents them from drying up inside.

Laser Cartridge Care Tips

• Store cartridges at room temperature.

• When empty, store your cartridge in its original plastic bag and box.
• Make sure that you remove any seal strips completely.
