What can make the HP printer cartridge work as new?

To date, almost any model of inkjet printer from the budget line of HP is the best option for high-quality printing in a domestic environment. Despite the general pluses and affordability, the printer cartridge may be damaged. In most cases, the cause of the inoperability of the printhead is the ink that is stuck in the nozzles.

HP Printer Cartridge and Printer

The rather simple design of the ink cartridge consists of such parts as:

1. The upper part is a cover, almost always with apertures for refilling and for maintaining the optimal pressure in the cartridge chamber, as well as the air outlet. Always closed with a sticker.
2. Contact pad-nozzle control module, through which commands are given to the printhead.
3. The print head consists of nozzles (nozzles). Depending on the printing scheme used, the location and size of the nozzles can vary.

It should be noted that the smaller the nozzle diameter, the more realistic the printed image, but the risk of ink drying is higher. Using the cartridge for HP, we get the picture saturated and clear. Practically inconspicuous graininess of the picture puts the print quality on a fairly high level of performance. For household use, this result is more than sufficient.

The HP printer cartridge does not print: what to do and how to make it work?

There are many ways to restore the cartridge. Let's consider the most loyal of them, allowing with 100% guarantee to return the cartridge "colorful life".

Before the cartridge for the HP printer undergoes an "intensive care" process, it is necessary to prepare the appropriate tool and components for the reconstitution solution.

You will need :

• A small glass container with low sides;
• Conventional cosmetic cotton swabs;
• Gloves;
• Distilled water and components of the regenerating action solution: glycerol, alcohol.

"Bring up" the HP printer cartridge

So, let's get started. At the bottom of the prepared container we lay 3 tampons (one on top of the other). On them put the cartridge print head down. We position the body of the cartridge, substituting under the back part of an object of abutment, for example, a box of matches.

Neutral solution consisting of 80% distilled water, 10% alcohol and 10% glycerin, slowly pour into a prepared container. Cotton swabs should draw in 1/3 of the liquid we have poured. Leave the cartridge in this position for 8-12 hours. After the specified time on the cotton swab there should be an obvious trace of the displaced ink. Gently wipe the print head with a napkin, install a cartridge for the HP printer and enjoy the complete completeness of the colorful palette.

Where can I buy an HP printer cartridge?

If you still decide to purchase a new cartridge, you should use the services of a specialized store. Only there you will be offered a quality and original product, as well as provide advice.

Did you know that there are two types of cartridges: standard and enlarged? It is advisable to purchase cartridges with the marking XL. This volume will permanently disqualify you from the rapidly running ink and threatening printer warnings: "A replacement cartridge will be required soon." So make the right choice!
