Refilled Cartridge Not Printing Correctly

Refilling your own ink cartridges may seem like an ideal solution to any home/small office user, however when refilling a cartridge with the printhead attached the results can be a little less reliable. The most common problems are stripped prints or the cartridge not printing at all resulting in your printer spitting out blank pages. These issues are a direct result of the cartridge not being filled in a vacuum (as they are when they are done professionally). Once the seal of the vacuum is broken the ink distributes itself into the surrounding sponge and the printhead, rather than renaming localised around where the point of the syringe was when the ink was injected. For this reason we always recommend getting the point of the syringe as close to the printhead as possible without puncturing it.

If you are confident that the ink was injected into the optimum part of the sponge but the cartridge still does not print I would recommend taking the following steps that both freshen up the printhead and encourage ink to flow from the cartridge: 1. First off please run any printer head cleaning cycles available from your printer software and check the quality of your prints. 2. Fold a piece of kitchen tissue or any other non fibrous tissue and dab it under a tap to make a small damp patch. For best results make sure the water is warm.

3. Take the cartridge out of the printer and hold the damp patch over the printhead for 30-60 seconds.

4. You should now hopefully have a small ink soaked patch on the tissue with traces of all the

relevant colours. 5. Then wipe the printhead several times on the dry part of the tissue and you should start to see

the colours come through. 6. Reinstall and run one more head cleaning cycle and with any luck you should be ready to print. If the problem remains I would recommend either getting the cartridge refilled professionally or purchasing a remanufactured replacement.

Sun 29jan12: Matthew, I'm looking for empty cleaned Canon tanks PGI3e (BK) and CLI-6/C/M/Y in order to flush my printer's head. Do you have such tanks, NH.

We don't have the empty cartridges, however we stock all of these cartridges pre loaded with a cleaning solution (along with some other Canon cartridges) here: http://www.refreshcartridges.co.uk/canon-cleaning... Hope this helps.

I would be hesitant to recommend soaking any cartridge in water as this can result in too much water getting into the print head and making the cartridge give washed out prints. If however you are going to do it this way be sure not to submerge the cartridge as this will almost certainly flood the cartridges sponges with water.

Thanks for this Matthew. I tried the hot tissue and that pulled down the cyan and yellow, but the magenta was stubborn. So I pulled out the bung and simply pushed the needle all the way down until it stopped. Tried the hot tissue again and it worked. All printing fine now. Suspect a bubble if that is even possible! Cheers
