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.
