Print cartridge storage and handling

Follow these guidelines to help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality:

•Install the cartridge on or before the Install by date, which is printed on the cartridge package.

•When you remove a print cartridge from the device, store it in an airtight plastic container to prevent the ink from drying out. If you are storing a photo print cartridge, you can use a print cartridge protector. For more information, see Print cartridge protector.

•Keep all unused print cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15–35 degrees C or 59–95 degrees F).

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

CAUTION: Always turn the HP All-in-One off with the Power button before you unplug the power cord or turn off a power strip. This allows the device to store the print cartridges properly. When you store the HP All-in-One, always leave the active print cartridges inside the device.

The print cartridge protector is designed to keep a print cartridge secure and prevent it from drying out when it is not being used. Whenever you remove a print cartridge from the HP All-in-One with the intention of using it again later, store it in the print cartridge protector.
