Re: Use of refilled ink cartridge

I bought a store black ink cartridge filled with brand 61 XL to the Canada computers tonite, because they were all black HP 61 ink cartridges. It was much less expensive than a cartridge of HP to the actual address, and they swore to me it would work. They gave me a score of 99% that it would work. I installed it. Of course, my printer has detected that he was not a genuine HP cartridge, and I used it at my own risk. It installed ok. Test pages came out great. The only thing, he wouldn't tell me how much ink was in it. He also said that it was empty. If it detects an ink cartridge, a recharged and prints a test page, why don't you tell me how much ink is left?

It is important to understand that the reloaded cartridges are always 'true' HP cartridges.  The only difference between buying a new cartridge and using a charged cartridge is the fact, that it is full.  A charged cartridge is always a HP cartridge.

That's the problem: once your printer determines a cartridge is empty, this is recorded on the chip attached to the cartridge.  You can't change this, but you can always re - use cartridge filling it.  When a charged cartridge is placed in the printer, the printer will read the chip and tell you that the cartridge is used, etc., that you simply ignore and press ok.

That said, you should read the previous posts regarding the reset of the printer by removing the print head holder and reinstall even, while the printer is turned on.  OR use two sets of cartridges and turn them as they run dry that elminates the need to remove the cradle from the print head.  That's what I do.  Why?  Because when you install the other cartridge instead of the one that has missed only, the printer will reset itself and run the reset cartridge procedure.  The printer will give you messages on a used cartridge, etc. but the point is that the reremplie cartridge will work fine.

With regard to ink levels.  Understand one important fact - your printer than estimates how much ink is in a cartridge.  The printer only "sees" in the cartridge to actually know how much ink is in there.  The printer puts a message on the chip in the cartridge that the cartridge is empty and you cannot change this option.  Don't worry about the message - just keep printing until the cartridge physically comes to run out of ink and fill again.

Some other printer manufacturers have actually provided a window on the bottom or the side of the cartridge and the printer could not see the ink level in the cartridge.  This means that when a cartridge has been filled again the 'seen' printer ink and everything was fine.  These other manufacturers were cannon and his brother.  Canon no longer uses this type printers - they did what HP - they put a chip on the cartridge, consider the level and make it harder to use reloaded cartridges.  The reason is obvious.  I don't know if the brother is still using the old method or have managed to get rid of the window in cartridges for newer printers.

As a former owner of a cartridge filling company, I learned that printer makers should not keep changing the styles of the cartridges.  They could continue to use the same style and eliminate a lot of confusion and need a new style.  This is especially true if you use recharged cartridges because when you buy a new printer, older games, you've been filling fall into the trash.  In addition, the cartridges that come with the new printer are usually low capacity and provide fewer printed pages.  You must always change a size XL if they are available.  If XL is not available, do not buy this printer model, because your printing costs will be too high.

  • Why my printer won't use his black ink cartridge

    I recently bought a printer officejet 7500 a large format. We use it at home with a computer wireless windows laptop and my mac running OS X 10.6.8

    No matter what I put in the black and white print settings, etc., he will not use his black ink cartridge. It uses color for all printing cartridges no matter what it is. It becomes very expensive and annoying. Since the purchase of the printer, I bought a black cartridge HP new from PC world real.  Since the purchase of this, he has never used since.

    What we're doing wrong?

    Thank you.

    If the device does not black ink print, it may be a couple different things, the cause.  Have you tried to run the print head alignment feature in the configuration menu of the printer?

    If the unit is not aligned correctly, while she can have colors (including black in this) lack of printed documents.  Check out the steps described in the document, found here, to solve a problem of printing such as this one.

  • Should rewards for the use of HP ink cartridges - [edited] - why I use genuine HP ink now? [redacted]

  • V313w - printer does not accept refilled ink cartridges

    I added ink to my black cartridge in series 21. When I try to print I get a message: "your black ink can be below the level required for quality printing" it gives two options: "I now replaced my ink cartridges and want to continue to print" or "I want to print using only color ink. If I choose the first option nothing happens and the same window opens again. Is it possible to replace the printer and do accept and print with the black ink cartridge refilled? Thank you.

    This limitation has been annoys me because I bought this printer 3 years ago. I now have a sucessful "solution of workaround for the error message"will not print until the cartridge is changed". You will finally get this message on the printer screen if you keep printing with a low ink cartridge, or THINK that the printer is low. That is to say the number of 'fuse' for the cartridge was triggered and he will recognize is no longer as usable cartridge. This is just a ploy to make you buy ink and prevent you re-charging of your cartridge, under the guise of "we don't want you to compramise print in ink of inferior quality. As if you don't know if the print quality was deteriorating.

    Workaround: replace the cartridge and print a few pages. THEN go into the Printers page PROPERTIES and chose the "ADVANCED" tab, then click on the button "PRINT PROCESSOR". Change the print processor FROM: "Dell V313" to "WinPrint". Then change the Data Type defaults to: "RAW [FF Auto]. Click SAVE. This derivation of the Dell software and send jobs directly to the printer, bypassing the "fuse". And he does a good job of keeping the original formatting of the document. I used this summer for more than a year on the SAME black cartridge I have re-filled several times with success. Once in a blue moon - the formatting is not correct. You can change the initial setup for this doc-1, then the put parameters updated the as long as you do NOT have the error "will not print until the cartridge is changed' in the printer window. Even if you do not the error 'not print', making the necessary changes for printing proprties will allow the printer.

    I wonder if Dell will leave this post to the top?

    I have the printer inkjet Epson stylus C 45.

Is there a way to make the printer accepts the reloaded cartridges?

  • Always printing black ink cartridge is not after several clean using your own ink cartridges

    I have a HP Deskjet 3050 All in One J610 series printer.

    I use Windows XP.

    I'm a Newbie as HP printers are concerned, but some have experience troubleshooting former HP model a parent.

    The black cartridge is not printing.   For various reasons, I have not used the printer for about two months.  So far, the printer worked fine, and in fact it is still using the cartridges that came with the printer.  I mention these points here because I realize or the other or both can be part of the issue.

    When I sent a document to the printer, printing was uneven.  I checked ink levels and black and color cartridges were about the third two full (before I used the print head cleaning utility.

    After cleaning the printheads, I tried again and this time the impression was the same, but in a shade of light blue, which was very low.  However, the original document is in a police man and a shade of gray, so perhaps he used ink cartridge color and not black?

    Research using the viewer help from HP does not help because it implies that you don't know how to locate the ink cartridge Clean Utility.

    After searching on Google to match the questions, I tried a second and then a third level of cleaning.  And because a post mentioned have to do eight times, I did a little more luck.  When the page is printed at the end of the cleaning cycle, the colors come out crisp and even.  There is no black bloc... is there?  I can't find an image showing a what print perfect following cleaning should look like.

    Additional to clean using the utility attempts do not seem to have worked and could even have been counterproductive because when I tried to print another document, and this came out so pale that I first thought that it is a blank page.

    I used the utility to re-estimated ink levels and the color is always about two third full, while black has dropped a little down, but is still above half full.  There is a check/tick showing for black ink and color.

    Messages on similar questions suggest that the replacement of the cartridge does not solve the problem and that heads should be cleaned manually.

    Should I try to clean the heads manually?  Who was mentioned on the threads and even on the HP support but as another option for a very different model.   I watched some demos on You Tube, but they are for different models of HP, in which they remove the printheads and clean them in a solution provided in the trade which I think is available in the United Kingdom, or with water!

    I would be grateful for any advice as to whether I should remove the black cartridge and clean heads printing and, if so, if someone could point me to a link where this is illustrated step by step, video, or shown in the logical steps.

    In the meantime I'll go off and buy a new black cartridge, but if it's the heads need cleaning, I'll have to do anyway.

    Thanks for any advice you can give me!

    I would like to manually clean the contacts on the cartridges and the printer. The process is described for your model of printer in step 3 of this document here.  The rest of the document does not apply to your question, but it does a great job giving instructions step by step on the manual cleanup process and materials needed to use lists. Manual cleaning will help ensure that the accumulation of contacts is not the cause of the issue of the print quality that you are experiencing. I hope this helps.

  • How can a use of an ink cartridge in my deskjet D2680

    I already cleaned the cartridges, but because they are refurbished printer will not use it and they are compatible. I want to know if there is a way to get around this restriction, otherwise I will never buy HP again

    [snip] in my opinion:

    What Bob was careful not to say is this: using rerurbished of your printer ink can damage over time.  It is not something "HP".  It's one thing to the printer.  HP did not do that to you to make you buy HP ink cartridges.  You should be able to use any ink of high quality for your printer.

    It is true that HP printers can go a bit over edge into the little "protect themselves".  I suspect the printers used to accept refurbished ink cartridges and printers broke.  HP has been blamed for the printers broken; That is why the change.  (I have no evidence of that, it's just a hint: Why put extra in a printer electronics unless it is necessary?) [snip]

    It is certainly true that a cartrdige defective reman that may damage the printer, often because of the ink dripping in the mechanism due to a bad charge.  The printer as a result of defective third cartrdiges is not covered by the HP warranty.

    It is not true that HP rejects cartrdiges simply because they are reloaded/refurbished.  In general, there is not an ID "this cartridge is rebuilt" on one of the reloaded cartridges.  The printer has several checks it does for a cartrdige when inserted to ensure that it is appropriate for the printer.  These controls may include a combination of the following:

    • Read the electric cartridge ID to ensure that it is the type in the appropriate slot and correct cartrdige.
    • Check the electrical connectivity of the control signals for not too many are open or shorted.
    • Check the electrical parameters of temperature control circuit.
    • Check the expiry date of the ink.  This is done only a very few models, usually those who use the cartrdiges 02 series where ancient ink can cause damage to the permanent print head.

    The tests are not to prevent reman cartrdiges, same tests are run on the HP cartridges and cartridges that do not will be rejected by the original HP printer or remans.

    HP has a page about it here.

  • Barely used G85: clean ink cartridges

    I know I'm a few years late, but what makes "Clean cartridges" do?

    If the printer has tiny brushes this ink own surplus off the cartridges, where's the dirt?  After that the printer performs a few dozen cartridge-cleaning, is something in the printer should be cleaned to get rid of all the dirt that he collected?

    Thank you

    -neil-

    The printer * is * in fact, clockwork marvel :-).  There is not really strong scrapings, it's more like liquid sludge.  Think of windshield wipers to clean your windshield - they need not cleaning themselves, despite to remove rain, bugs and other stuff.  If you are really interested, you may be able to see within the service area with a flashlight and perhaps a dental mirror, but it's probably better not to--he tends to look at disorder, and people damage their printers trying to clean the service area (unnecessarily).

    The ink used especially rest liquid, some of the components of the ink would remain liquid for a long time.  In the bottom of the station service is a thin sponge which absorbs most of the liquid, but after a or two decades of use, there may be a few spoonfuls of ink in the service area.  This is why you don't want to share the printer, if cars are installed or not.

    The print head rises above the paper by about 1/16 ", if you was enough paper folded it would extend upwards into the path of the print head.  That's why you have got some burrs on the page.

    The gas station is designed to keep the nozzles healthy.  While this may sometimes need manual cleaning usually automatic cleaning is sufficient.  If the manual cleaning is done too it will shorten the life of the printer (and ink).

    Why not?  (FYI: use in the future something significant, 'cute', if you want to get answers)

    Some manufacturers have a chip in the cartridge that tells the printer that it is empty, for example the date "use before", even if there is ink left. I know specifically that this is the case with your printer, but it can be. Fill the chipped cartridges requires the reset chip. If it has been damaged it could produce volatile results.

  • HP Deskjet 3600 series. Initializing ink cartridges? More than 3 partners? s

    Hello:

    I was recently offered a printer HP deskjet 3620 or 3650. I have only the manual for it to 3600 series moment.

    There are 27, 28 & 58 ink cartridges.

    My questions are:

    1} require initialization of ink as many HP printers do or can I use regular cartridges. The original inks disappeared somewhere in transit.

    2} If initializing cartridges are required are they still available?

    3} it is my understanding that this printer has never been created or had it ink.

    y at - there a way to tell if this is true? There is now no cartridge inside and it appears unblemished, even if all the original packaging has been removed.

    4} am I correct to assume that if the ink cartridges installed previously to a point that this printer is useless that the print heads are probably blocked.?

    Please notify.

    I saw this place is around the same time that your other post.  If you just want to know about the initial optimization process of your printer for the best performance?  To install ink cartridges are available and are used to prepare the print head, but are not absolutely necessary.  You don't have to contact HP for Setup ink cartridges for him.  You can call technical support at 1-800-474-6836 (US) or follow this link to get the phone number for your country and ask them to order it.  Or call 1-888-999-4747 HP Home and Home Office, but I don't know if you can get them at the store. Just as a previous tech support agent I know I could order setup of ink cartridges.

    A lack of alignment can occur if you do not use the first time ink installation cartridges, but I doubt it.  There is no way of knowing if she has never had ink in it before without having already inked and install on the computer in order to access the Toolbox and then choosing to print a test page that may have this information on it.  On newer models,'s called it a Printer Status Report.  It will tell you all about his prior use.

    I don't think the printer hangs another ink in there if there is no ink installation cartridges installed the first time.  I don't know the refilled ink cartridges may damage the print head, but I think that you will be sure to use regular ink you'll be safer if you call, your printer is in or out of warranty.

    Here is a nice little document all about these issues and much more.  I hope this helps!
