Caring for a Kodak Printer and its Cartridges

It is important to know how to take proper care of Kodak printer cartridges for two major reasons: first, without them, your Kodak printer will not function, and two, Kodak printer cartridges are expensive! Let’s take a look at the correct ways to handle your Kodak printer and its cartridges.

Storing Kodak Printer Cartridges

Many Kodak users prefer to buy Kodak printer cartridges in bulk so they have a replacement when the one they’re using becomes empty. Here are four things you should know about storing new Kodak printer cartridges.

–Keep the Kodak printer cartridge in its original packaging. Packaging protects the cartridge.

–Keep the cartridge with the print head facing up to prevent ink from seeping out.

–Remember to keep the Kodak printer cartridge in a cool location, away from direct sunlight. Ink inside of a cartridge that gets too much sun exposure can bubble up and drain out.

–Do not shake a printer cartridge. This can cause the ink to leak, or even break the print head.

Caring For your Kodak Printer

Professionals recommend that any Kodak printer should be thoroughly cleaned every six months. To do this, remove any dust or hair from the knooks and crannies of your printer. Remember that the printer’s tray should remain closed when not in use, as this will block dirt from getting inside. If the printer is not frequently used, it is advised that you print a test page every two weeks to ensure that the print head does not become clogged. 
 
Removing Empty Kodak Cartridges
 
Do not remove an empty Kodak ink cartridge from your printer if you don’t have a new one ready to replace it with. Removing a cartridge and failing to quickly replace it with a new one can clog the nozzles. Also, do not keep printing with an empty cartridge because this could affect the print head.
 
If your Kodak printer cartridge still has ink left in it, but you need to remove it from your printer and store it for later use, carefully wrap the cartridge in a paper towel and store it upright in a Ziplock bag. Be sure to keep it in a cool area and never touch the cartridge’s print head.
