Preventing printer cartridges from quickly drying up

Asked By Patricia N Hillman 40 points N/A Posted on - 11/14/2013

Hi,

I occasionally print my lectures, assignments etc but this is once in a while. I noticed that the cartridges run out quickly. Let’s say much quicker that they opt to be. Is there a way I can preserve the cartridges to last longer keeping in mind that I am an infrequent user?

Preventing printer cartridges from quickly drying up

Hi Patricia,

The best solution to keep your printer cartridges from drying is at least print a page once in a week. Don’t let your ink cartridges dry out or else it may harm your printer; dried ink can clog the jets (microscopic holes) in your printer.

I hope this tip will help you.

Preventing printer cartridges from quickly drying up

Hello Patricia N Hillman,

Printer cartridges are liquid, and everyone knows liquid always dry up. YOu have seen Ink cartridges, when bought new, is always sealed with plastic covering so for its protection. But when you open it and set it in the printer, guess what, it starts to dry Up. So better to your printing schedule, when you need to print. Only open the ink when needed. Or you can also try another process. When your print is done and you're sure of not needing it for a week or two, place it in a plastic packet. It must be air tight with sealing chain. This is the best solution I can give, I guess,

Thank you.
