About Cartridges
How does an inkjet cartridge work?
There are 48 to 150 nozzles (jets) in the print head on the bottom of the cartridge. Each nozzle is smaller in diameter than a human hair. Under each nozzle is a heater (resistor) that heats the ink inside the cartridge. When the ink is heated, a lot of
bubbles forms that bursts, shooting the ink through the jets onto the paper. (Fig1)
The resistors on most cartridges will continue to fire until they burn out, about every sixth time the cartridge is recycled. This is the average, but not the rule. The reality is that up to 5 percent of all inkjet cartridges cannot be recycled even once, and some can be recycled many more than five times.
How can I get more recycles out of my empties?
Proper care and handling of empty cartridges may add to the number of recycles you can get. Youwant to protect the body, especially the circuit. When the cartridge is empty, the best option is to reuse the clip. Never put adhesive tape on the circuit or print head. And don't keep printing when the cartridge is out of ink.
The best time to refill a cartridge is when a certain amount of ink is still left in the cartridge. One way to know when to refill the ink is to keep an eye on the printing quality when print quality becomes gradually fuzzy, it is a sign that it is time to refill the cartridge.
Will my print quality remain consistent, and will I get the same number of pages printed with a refilled cartridge?
Save On Ink uses only the highest quality inks available, which are manufactured specifically for inkjet cartridges. We guarantee that you'll be happy with the print quality or your Money Back. All cartridges have a specific amount of ink to begin
their lifespan and that determines their printing capacity. Each cartridge is weighed for the correct amount of ink during processing and re-checked during quality control. And in about 80% of the cartridges we can fill with more ink than the original.
