• when purchasing a new or used printer, if the cartridges are not inserted into it;
• out of ink;
• the paint has dried;
• you are not satisfied with the print quality and want to replace the cartridge with another one with higher quality ink.

If you took out a cartridge with dried ink and tried to “soak” it, then after that you will need to insert it back into the printer, or purchase new cartridge with colored and black paints and insert it already. An incorrect installation approach can lead to printer malfunctions and software, and will also not allow you to achieve the desired print quality.

Preparing to install the cartridge

Preparation consists of repairing a dried out cartridge or purchasing a new one. In addition, you need to initially turn on the computer, connect a printer to it (if this is not done, for example, when purchasing new equipment), and install the software.

After you turn on the printer, you need to wait a few seconds until the print head is installed in the standard position. After this, the cartridge with black or colored inks can be removed. You shouldn't pull too hard to avoid damaging anything. In most models, removal is quite simple, but in some cases special locks or restraining structures may be provided.

Therefore, before proceeding with extraction, you should carefully read the instructions printer or seek professional help.

Refer to the instructions or consult with a specialist so that replacing ink does not damage your printer.

Inserting a cartridge into a printer is usually also not difficult. You just need to place it in the print head and press a little until it clicks, which will indicate the cartridge is locked.

After this, you need to go to the program installed for the printer and select the “Maintenance” tab or something similar. Here you can reset the ink level, which will allow you to adjust the operation of the printer, which will again determine the level of black or color ink, and if it drops critically, it will notify you that the ink is already low and you should prepare for replacing the cartridge.

General information

Picture 1:

Original cartridges with which the printer was originally sold don't refuel!, and they end very quickly, around the 2nd week or even faster. According to the printer design, if at least one color has run out(when the minimum ink level is reached), for example, black, the chip blocks the printer and further work on the device is not possible- neither printing nor scanning or copying (for MFPs). There are 3 options for further work:

• Purchasing new cartridges (the most expensive way);
• Installation of CISS ( WITH systems N continuous P odachi H ernil) (cans on the outside) with a combi-chip bar - recommended for large print volumes;
• Installation of slam-shut valve or PC ( P here Z guided TO cartridges or P non-refillable TO cartridges) - recommended for small print volumes, i.e. for home user;

Let's take a closer look at the last point.

Refillable cartridges (RCCs) for Epson printers and MFPs are completely new cartridges of a special design that replicate the original ones in shape and dimensions, but have some technical differences and improvements (chips with an auto-reset function for ink levels, air and filling holes, transparent plastic cartridges) allowing It is very easy to repeatedly refill them with ink, even for a technically untrained user.

PZKs are an economical alternative to original cartridges. The savings lie in the fact that, unlike original cartridges that cannot be refilled, refillable cartridges are equipped with special chips that allow you to reset the ink counter.

Thus, in the future, you will not need to go to the store every time the next cartridge runs out and spend money on buying a new original cartridge; you just need to have ink on hand to refill it when needed. This allows you to save both your time and your money. As a result, you get the same quality print as on original cartridges, and you can save more than 35 times on consumables. The presence of a refill hole will simplify the process of refilling the cartridge with ink, and auto-zeroing chips will allow you to continue to control the amount of ink in the cartridges.

Refillable cartridges for Epson are very easy to refill. And, given that they are equipped with special CHIPs that prevent the printer from blocking printing, these refillable cartridges can be used an unlimited number of times.

The chips on these refillable cartridges are reset when you remove the cartridge from the printer for refilling. Please note that zeroing will only occur if the ink level readings for this cartridge are close to zero at the time of refilling.

Refillable cartridges reduce printing costs and allow you to save on consumables for those users who use the printer lightly.

Having installed Epson refillable cartridges once, all you have to do is add ink and enjoy cheap and high-quality printing. They can be refilled and refilled and refilled.

Refillable cartridge design

Each cartridge is an empty container of a special design with two technological holes that have their own functional purpose during operation:

• ink hole- used to refill the cartridge with ink
• air hole- to release (equalize) the pressure in the cartridge during refilling and printing

It is worth noting that almost always, with rare exceptions for old or rare (for example,) models, refillable Epson cartridge have 2 holes in the cartridge, of course, not counting the working hole with a valve at the bottom of the cartridge.

Attention!. If the cartridges are new and have never been installed or checked, this film will be intact and not punctured. In some cases it is not necessary to remove the film from the bottom of the cartridge, because this will lead to failure of the PKZ. When installing a safety valve on the printer, the print head itself will pierce this film.

Depending on the design of the slam-shut valve and the cartridge manufacturer, the air and filling holes can be located at different ends of the cartridge or nearby.

Depending on the modification and manufacturer of the shut-off valve, the air hole may be covered with a yellow sticker. In this case, it (the sticker) must be removed.

How to determine which hole to fill, i.e. where is the fill hole and where is the air hole?.
In order to determine which of the holes is the filling hole and which is the air hole, you need to look at the side of the cartridge from the side of the transparent plastic. Where the hole goes into the void there will be a filling hole, where there is an air hole on the grate.

If the refillable cartridge has one hole, then this hole will be the refill hole.

Figure 4: Filling and air holes

Refilling Epson refillable cartridges

1. To refill you need to prepare a syringe with a volume of 10 ml. Fill the syringe with ink.
2. Open the air and filling holes, i.e. remove the plugs and/or remove the yellow sticker sticker
3. Fill the cartridge with ink through the filling hole. To do this, using a syringe (with or without a needle, as you prefer), pour approximately 10-12 ml of ink into the cartridge
4. When the cartridge is completely filled, remove the syringe and insert the silicone plug into the filling hole. There is no need to close the air hole. In working position it must always be open

Refilling refillable cartridges involves pouring ink into the filling hole using a syringe.

Installing Epson refillable cartridges

1. Remove all original cartridges from the printer
2. Insert all refillable cartridges into the printer.
3. Execute.
   If the printer is weeping, run the print head cleaning procedure. Then print the nozzle test again. If some of the nozzles do not print, perform the print head cleaning procedure a few more (2-3) times.
4. If, after repeated cleanings, the print quality has not changed for the better or the printer generally produces a white sheet, you need to go

Refilling Epson refillable cartridges

1. When the ink low light on your computer or printer comes on. Remove the cartridge and repeat the procedure for refilling and installing refillable cartridges
2. After you insert the cartridge into place, the level on the chip will reset automatically.

Attention!

1. Do not install empty slam-shuts in the printer., otherwise you will damage the print head (PG) or clog the nozzles
2. Insert all safety seals into the printer. Do not install slam-shut valves individually or in combination with original cartridges. Please note that PZKs are not “friendly” with the originals and only work as a set. We know that black ink runs out faster and color cartridges are full, so you want to save on color ink and not replace original color cartridges. If you nevertheless decide to experiment and insert mixed with originals, nothing terrible will happen, the printer simply will not recognize them, the ink indicator will light up, printing will not start
3. Be sure to check that there is no plug in the air hole. In working position, the air holes must be open. Otherwise, the printer will not print or will streak. Cover the holes ONLY when transporting the printer.
4. Do not leave the printer with empty cartridges or without cartridges? this may cause the ink in the print head to dry out and cause print head failure
5. The original cartridges are filled with pigment ink. Do not mix pigment ink with water-based ink, otherwise you will damage the print head (PH) or clog the nozzles
6. Necessarily buy an extra set of ink. We recommend Ink-Mate inks

Options for the position of the holes in the Epson shut-off valve

• Working position of cartridges: Filling hole is closed, air is open
• Filling position: Filling and air openings are open
• Transport position: Filling and air openings are closed

This task is not only within the capabilities of professionals. service centers, but also ordinary users. Let's look at how to insert a cartridge into a laser and inkjet printer.

How to insert an HP cartridge into a printer - process features?

The cartridge is in the box. You need to open it and take out the contents. But it is better to do this immediately before installation, since exposure to air will adversely affect the device.

Gently shake the new block. This procedure is required. Because it could be stored for a long time. This causes the fine powder inside the block to cake. Hold it horizontally and shake it 3-4 times.

The head, which is responsible for printing, is covered with film. It is located on the bottom of the part. It must be removed carefully and carefully. To avoid getting your hands dirty, grab the colored label on the film.

The block must be placed in the place where the old cartridge was previously located. Fix it. To do this, use a stop mechanism or clamp. A click is a guarantee that the block is in place. In this process, you should not press hard or make sudden movements. This will damage the parts. The cartridge should slide smoothly over the strips.

The used cartridge should be placed in a bag and disposed of. The latter must be done separately from household waste. Now you need to insert a new cartridge. First, let's free it from the packaging. To do this, remove the protective tape and cover from it. Before installing the toner cartridge, shake it from side to side several times. At the same time, you should hold it firmly with both hands.

The toner cartridge must be installed in the photo drum immediately after you have removed the protective cover. This printer consumable part is installed along guide rails. The cartridge slides neatly into the printer. No effort should be made. The part should freely stand on the rails and move. As a result, after installing the cartridge in place in almost all printer models, you will be able to hear a soft click. Next, close the front cover.

We check the cartridge after installing it

Now you know how to install a cartridge in an HP printer, but in order for the device to function normally, it is important to check its functionality.

Let's move on to the next step - checking the cartridge. After closing the cover, the printer automatically determines that the cartridge has been replaced. A message will appear on the screen indicating that you need to print a test page. Click “OK.” If your model does not provide this function, set up the printer to print in the usual way. Don't forget to insert blank paper, otherwise an error may appear. Before printing, the settings in the printer itself will be checked and only after that a test page will be printed.

If the picture matches reality, then everything is fine. If you notice any streaks or gaps appearing, do a deep clean. The printheads may need to be aligned. All these operations are done in the printer control panel. Each device has its own menu, so detailed description You can read how to do this in the instruction book or download the user manual for your printer on the Internet.

Some difficulties that may arise

Printers can be not only black and white, but also color. They have only a few colors, which are then mixed to create other shades.

The difficulty is that if you mix up the colors of the cartridges, the printer will not be able to correctly mix colors later when printing. During installation, pay attention to the color sticker.

It must be present both on the cartridge itself and in the mounting socket of the printing device. Naturally, the cartridge with the green sticker is installed in the socket, which also has a sticker of the same color.

If there is some difficulty and the cartridge does not insert all the way, it is very likely that you are trying to insert it upside down.
