Cartridges – Make Printing Reliable And Easy
Author: Sharon Albright

With the introduction of printing ink cartridge in 1984, the
task of printing has become more easy and reliable. Previously
to 1984, ink delivery systems were used, which involved it's
own inconveniences. With world advancing everyday, now the
printing industries have developed new ink delivery technique
that includes black and white documents as well as color
graphics and photos printing.

With the invention of printing cartridge, it is very easy to
print on different sizes and types of papers, fabrics and
films. These printers were used in schools, business showrooms
and even for homely purposes. When printing cartridge is used,
each cartridge is given its specific identifying number and
lists of model number of each printer in which the cartridge
can be used.

Types of refilled printing cartridges

There are two types of refilled cartridges that are used in
homes and offices:

Remanufactured cartridge – this is an original printer ink
cartridge that is outfitted with ink and new parts. It is
tested before it is being placed in the market to be re-sold.
The life span of this cartridge is same as the original and
they can be safely used in all the printers.

Compatible cartridge – it is a type of cartridge that is built
with the same specifications as those of an original
manufacturer but is available as generally cheaper than the
original.

These printing cartridges come in kits that include bottles of
ink, a bottle of cleaning solutions, a 2-part syringe and
user's manuals.

How to refill your cartridges?

Cartridges can be filled in the printer in two possible ways.
You can either refill with low-priced kits that allow you to
refill your own cartridge.

You can buy a refilled cartridge from a manufacturer and
include methods like drilling, filling and sealing an empty
cartridge.

Follow these instructions while you are refilling your
cartridges:

- From the re-fill kit, draw the ink of any color with syringes
and pour only after checking how much ink should be injected
into the cartridge

- Make a small hole on the top of the cartridge for each
individual color chamber. The hole should be on top of the
cartridge just near the label and ink should be pushed onto the
hole, while injecting the ink slowly into the cartridge.

- The re-filling holes need not be sealed, as there are already
breather holes on top of the cartridge.

- After re-filling is over, place back the cartridge in the
printer and run the cleaning cycle for at least 1 to 3 times.

- If any ink is left in the syringe, then you should return it
to the bottle. Then clean the syringe with water and dry it
before using it for some other color.

You should always remember to refill the cartridge before it is
completely empty. Buy in bulk to get the printing cartridges at
discounted prices.
