Why bother going through the effort and mess of refilling inkjet cartridges with inkjet printer refill kits when you can just buy a brand new cartridge? Well for one, it costs a whole lot cheaper. Buying new cartridges are ridiculously expensive, what’s more used cartridges get binned, which means more waste.
Inkjet printer refills seem to get a mixed bag of opinions, while some people swear by them; others refuse to use them at gunpoint. The reoccurring problems that some of these anti-printer refill kit user’s claim are that they cause printer failure, clogging of the nozzles, leakages, not to mention poor print quality and short life spans.
The answer to this two sided argument is that in most cases where the results of printing have been poor, the user has failed to follow the instructions carefully on the printer refill kit manual. We all do it, whether it’s setting up a DVD player, a flat-pack desk or tuning a brand new television; we all like to think that we can just do it without the manual. Hours of tinkering later, we admit defeat and turn to the manual, realizing that the job could have taken a lot less longer. Worse still we mess it up beyond repair, beyond help of the manual.
A common error in refilling inkjet cartridges is covering the air holes. With some models air is required to enter the vents to fill the void when ink is being dispensed. If the hole is sealed then the printer cartridge will fail to work properly and cause undesired results.
If you fail to read the manual you may also mistakenly push the needle far back into the cartridge. When the ink is pumped in, air pressure is created, this prevents air from escaping and ink entering. The outcome is a messy cartridge and a wasted printer refill kit.
Avoid leaving the job of refilling the inkjet cartridge until it’s almost fresh out of ink. This can spell real disaster. In most cases the ink will gel and require several cycles of cleaning to get the inkjet head clean and ready to use. This reduces efficiency, meaning you’ll waste more ink.
Another mistake to avoid is over soaking your cartridge in water when cleaning the jets. This will cause your ink to run and produce inconsistency when printing. You may see a faded effect in your color printing and reduced quality.
In reality refilling inkjet cartridges is easy when you follow the manual, however most of us prefer to do things our way before we resort to the obvious. So next time you get yourself a printer refill kit read the manual first!
