Cleaner Cartridges

Almost inevitably, everything works better when it is clean, from mechanical things, such as jet printer printheads to the mind of man (or woman). In fact, Macbeth, worried about his wife’s health, questions the doctor whether he can cure her by some form of mental cleaning as follows:

"Can'st thou not raze out the written troubles of the brain,

And, with some sweet oblivious antidote,

Cleanse the stuffed bosom of that perilous stuff

Which weighs upon the heart?"

With inkjet cartridges that ‘perilous stuff’ is dried ink or dust or a combination of both and the ‘oblivious antidote’ is the gentle and effective cleaning solution delivered by our brand new ink jet cleaning cartridges.

Mechanically speaking, there are two types of inkjet cartridges:

• Those that have the printhead built into itself, for example HP 51626A, 51629A, 51645A etc.
• Those where the printhead mechanism is inside the printer itself, most Epson, many Canon etc.

That printheads need cleaning is known to your very printer. Most printers, when turned on, produce various and occasionally worrisome sounds of clanging, groaning, shrieking metals and components rubbing against each other. Operations manuals refer to this process as the ‘cleaning cycle’.

When recharging cartridges of the first type, the printhead is immediately accessible and various cleaning methods can be applied, e.g. soaking in distilled water or cleaning solution, ultrasound etc.

But when the printhead is in the printer cleaning is more problematic. Reaching the printhead with a wet cotton swab is in most printers difficult. When there is no room for a swab some have tried with wet paper. Either way the idea is good but the result is remarkably useless. To clean the printhead, the cleaning liquid must follow the same path the ink followed and remove the ink residue.

….enter our Cleaning Cartridges designed to clean the printhead when the printhead is in the printer.

Here is how it works:

1. First you remove the existing cartridge(s). Some printers have a special procedure to remove a partially filled cartridge (for example, by depressing both cartridge buttons on the Epson Stylus Color 800), or in others by holding down the paper feed button. Otherwise, you remove the cartridge(s) following the standard operating procedures in the manual.
2. You then switch off the printer and switch it on again after about 15 seconds, and then wait until all indicator lights are out.
3. Now you install the cleaning cartridges into the printer.
4. After this you print 2-3 pages on standard paper until the print (generated by the grime you intend to clean) is no longer visible, that is the paper comes out un-printed.
5. Run the machine nozzle check clean cycle and inspect the (faint) printout to verify that all the nozzles are clear and that liquid (cleaner now and ink later) is delivered to the paper.
6. Remove the cleaning cartridges and replace them with ink cartridges.
7. Print 1 or 2 test pages to ensure that all cleaning fluid is removed from the printhead
8. Go ahead and print your copy or your graphics.

Cleaning cartridges will last quite a while because you only use them when cleaning the printhead. Cleaning fluid does not deteriorate with time. You will get excellent value out of them, besides having quality printouts.
