In these challenging times it’s important to make cost savings where you can. You can extend the life of your printer ink cartridges by following some simple tips. Rather than rushing in to replace a dirty or clogged up inkjet, by carefully cleaning it you can continue using the ink for a little longer.Here is a checklist to keep your ink cartridges clean:
1.Before you start cleaning the printer cartridges check the make of printer ink. HP for instance tends to state the print head on the ink cartridge however other types of ink cartridge can be different. Look on the manufacturer’s website or printer manual to double check. The information advises you where the print head is that you need to clean.
2.To clean the head apply warmed distilled, bottled or filtered water to a cotton bud. Clean the nozzle plate with the cotton bud taking care to clean the middle of the ink cartridges. This is the area that meets with the nozzle plate. Avoid touching any of the copper plated parts as they can easily damage. Change the cotton bud often until no more debris is found.
3.Next remove the printer ink from its holder. If the cartridge has a printer head on it run it quickly under hot water. Always allow the ink cartridges to dry out before you put them back.
Always clean ink cartridges before you put them in the printer and after some time of use. Make sure you never use tap water as this can cause damage to the printer ink. If you have a bad clogging soak the printer head overnight and then allow them to dry out before reinstalling.
