maintaining print cartridges

The following tips will help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality:

storing print cartridges

When print cartridges are removed from the printer, store them in a print cartridge protector or an airtight plastic container.

A print cartridge protector comes with the photo print cartridge. If you store the print cartridge in an airtight plastic container, make sure that the ink nozzles face down but are not in contact with the container.

inserting the print cartridge into the print cartridge protector

Slide the print cartridge at a slight angle into the protector, and snap it securely in place.

removing the print cartridge from the print cartridge protector

Press down and back on the top of the protector to release the cartridge. Slide the cartridge out of the protector.

Caution!   Do not drop the print cartridge. Dropping the print cartridge may damage it.
