The insidious conspiracy of printer manufacturers
Quite a long time ago, all printer manufacturers realized that the main costs for users would go not to purchasing the unit itself, but to servicing it. As a result, the cost of printers is significantly reduced compared to the prices of cartridges for them.
Thus, it is in the best interest of users to refill existing cartridges instead of purchasing new ones. However, there are several types of cartridges that pose serious problems with refilling.
To save significantly, you will have to learn all the rules of the tricky electronics market
Refilling an inkjet and laser printer cartridge
In addition to the fact that you need to take the printer’s instructions, before refilling the cartridge yourself, you need to study the properties of its operation, and when performing the procedure you will need the following things:
- Empty cartridge;
- Ink in tubes or jars;
- Paper towels;
- Medical surgical gloves;
- Alcohol for wiping surfaces;
- Cotton pad or swabs;
- A syringe with a thin needle.
Instead of cotton wool with alcohol, you can use wet wipes. In this case, you need to act carefully so that water does not penetrate into the ink holes.
It is important to note that more than one syringe may be needed if we are talking about filling several containers of paint.
For a laser printer, in addition to the specified set of available tools, you may also need a needle to make holes in the compartment.
Also, a small self-designed spatula to pour colored and black powders into the container with substances.
