How to replace ink cartridge

Is the printer’s cartridge empty? We have to change the ink cartridge quickly before the ink completely runs out. Although each inkjet printer is different, the basic method of changing the ink cartridge is similar. This article will introduce you to the general method of replacing ink cartridges in various printers.

Step 1: Write down the brand and model of the printer. Only by knowing the brand and model of the printer can you find a matching ink cartridge. If the model number is not marked on the printer, look for it in the manual.

Step 2: Find the matching ink cartridge. Go to the website of your printer’s brand or ink suppliers to find the cartridge that fits your printer. Then, you can buy it from either an online or a physical store.

Setp 3: Gently remove the old ink cartridge. Some brands of printers have several ink cartridges of different colors, and the color of the ink cartridges will be marked on the label.

Step 4: Before installing a new ink cartridge, shake it first. Shaking before use will improve the initial printing effect, but shaking should be done before unpacking to prevent ink leakage.

Step 5: Remove the protective film on the nozzle. Although the protective film on the nozzle is different depending on the brand, basically all ink cartridges have a protective sticker or plastic film on the nozzle. This layer of film must be removed before installing the ink cartridge.

Step 6: Load the ink cartridge into the printer. The installation steps only need to reverse the disassembly steps. Pay attention to the angle when installing. Basically, it can be installed with a little effort. Generally, a new ink cartridge can be inserted into the slot by just a little hard press.

Step 7: Test the ink cartridges. Print a piece of paper to test the ink cartridge, so that you can see whether the ink cartridge is installed correctly, and it can also ensure the smooth flow of ink before you print the official document.
