Printer Troubleshooting FAQ
· I am trying to print in color but it only prints in one color. What can I do to fix this?
Usually when a printer sits without unused for a long time, it can cause the cartridge nozzle to dry up. Which can cause the cartridge not to print or colors to be skewed. The optimal way to solve this problem is by Soaking the cartridge. *ONLY for remanufactured ink cartridges
· How much printer ink is in a remanufactured cartridge compared to a name cartridge?
Many companies' compatible and remanufactured cartridges are weighed out to match the specifications of a genuine cartridge. Make sure your vendors weigh the cartridges to ensure that the remanufactured and compatible cartridges weigh the same as a genuine cartridge.
· If I buy remanufactured ink cartridges, how long can I keep them without opening them?
The majority of products have a shelf life of about one year. Once you are ready to use the cartridge, if you notice that the prints are faded or streaked it might not necessarily mean the cartridge cannot be used. The problem could be a clogged nozzle. The best way to solve this problem is by soaking the cartridge.
