Maintaining the 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 between 15˚ to 35˚C (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.

CAUTION: Do not drop the print cartridge. Dropping the print cartridge may damage it.

Storing the print cartridges

When a cartridge is removed from the printer, store it in an airtight plastic container or in the Print Cartridge Protector. A Print Cartridge Protector is shipped with the photo print cartridges.

NOTE: If you store the print cartridge in an airtight plastic container, make sure that the tri-color, photo, and gray photo ink nozzles face down and that the black print cartridges are stored with the ink nozzles face up.
