Trouble shooting your Inkjet cartridge
Some signs that your cartridge is running out of ink or jets are clogged...
You might notice white streaks where there should be black ink, or you might notice lighter than normal print. Also when using a color cartridge you may see a sudden change of color in the print.
These are some of the most common signs, but don't assume that your cartridge is worn out yet. We have the technology to clean the nozzles if they are simply clogged and are the cause of the problem. Many times you can fix these problems
Some trouble shooting to try if you notice a problem...
Try running warm water right over the print head and the circuitry. Then dry it off with a damp paper towel. This will help dissolve dried ink in the print head and clean the circuitry contacts. Complete the print head cleaning procedure and a print test. (See printer manual for instructions specific to your printer)
If you notice smeared printing, the "wiper blade" in the printer parking station might just be dirty. Wipe it off with a damp paper towel (see printer manual for instructions specific to your printer). This will usually fix the smearing problem.
If these tips don't work contact us and have your cartridge tested. You will either get your cleaned working cartridge back, or you'll know it's time to retire it and buy a new one.
With a color cartridge one color always runs out before the others and while you are still able to print with the remaining colors, you will burn out the resistors for the empty color.
If you continue to print with a black cartridge after it has run short of ink, you will burn out the resistors. Once you have burned out resistors the cartridge will never print right again.
You should always keep your printer cleaned and maintained according to the owner's manual.
Trouble shooting your Toner cartridge
Some signs that your cartridge is running out of toner...
You might notice white streaks where there should be black ink, or you might notice lighter than normal print. Also when using a color cartridge you may see a sudden change of color in the print.
Do not continue to print with an empty cartridge as it can cause damage.
Some trouble shooting to try if you notice a problem...
If you run low on toner and desperately need to finish your print job, you can lightly jiggle the cartridge, which may work any left over toner to the bottom of the cartridge and allow for a little more printing. This should only be attempted one time.
You should always keep your printer cleaned and maintained according to the owner's manual.
In Conclusion...
Most toner cartridges can be remanufactured over and over again. So, please do not throw them away as this only adds to our growing landfill problem. We can remanufacture the cartridge saving you money or remanufacture it for use in someone else's printer or dispose of it properly. Either way you can help save the environment by bringing your cartridge in to us.
