How to keep your printer working

Sunday, February 15th, 2009

Did you know that it can be a problem if you try printing with an empty printer ink cartridge? When you print, ink that flows through printer head also cools the head down a bit. Without ink, head can get too warm and gets burned, damaging the printer permanently. Also if your ink cartridge is empty (such as HP ink or Epson ink) it can make the nozzle on the head block, because not enough ink is passing through and the ink dry inside. That’s why printers tend to clean the heads every now and then when they are in stand by. Damaging your printer head by using an empty cartridge will usually void manufacturers warranty!
