Maintaining print cartridges

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

●Keep all print cartridges in their sealed packages until they are needed. Print cartridges should be stored at room temperatures (15° to 35° C or 59° to 95° F).

●Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the print cartridge.

For information about storing print cartridges if they are removed from the printer, see Storing print cartridges.

Storing print cartridges

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

If you store the print cartridge in an airtight plastic container, make sure that the ink nozzles are 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.
