How to Change your Printer Ink Cartridges?

Computer printers have become a commodity item in today’s technology world. They cost next to nothing and are given away in many instances. What is not given away is the ink that makes them useful. In many cases, the cost of ink cartridges for the printer can cost more then the printer. Because of this changing the ink cartridges should be done correctly so maximum use of the ink is achieved.

Each is slightly different

Each manufacturer of a printer makes their printer unique so that you need to buy their ink cartridges. Consequently, changing the ink cartridges is slightly different for each printer. There are a few common things to look for but individual printers will vary. Regardless of printer, however, you will need to get to the inside of the printer to change the ink cartridges.

Look for colors

There are usually four cartridges to change: black, magenta, cyan and yellow. To find the cartridges the easiest way is to open the top of the printer and look for a black box. It will sort of look like it could move but in most cases the four color cartridges should be visible in their respective colors within the box. They may be hidden a bit under another part of the printer. This means that you may have to look for a button somewhere on the top of the printer to push for around three seconds. This should move the black box out into the open.

Remove the ink cartridges from the black box. Sometimes a gentle wiggle will loosen them up for removal while in most instances you will need to gently pull or push a lever on each cartridge to have them let go of the box. A fore finger and thumb should remove the ink cartridges from the box. There will be a bit of resistance but not much.

Keep it clean

Take a look around the inside of the box that held the ink cartridges. If you see some residue there or possibly on the old ink cartridge, find a non-linting cloth to clean it up out of the box. This could clog the ports for the next set of new cartridges.

Install the new ink cartridges. Each color should go into the same color slot it came out of. Place them in “heel to toe.” There should be a “click” to signify they are in place. You are just about done. Close up the unit. You may need to push the same button you pushed before to reset the cartridges. Otherwise turn the unit on so it can reset.
