A Little-known Secret to Preventing Problems With Your Printer
|
"An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure, and in all cases... less expensive!"
All printers require good preventive maintenance. The best preventive maintenance that you can perform on your printer is to USE IT on a regular basis! The Number One complaint about poor print quality -- specifically streaking print, white lines through the print, or no print at all -- can be avoided by frequent use of your printer.
All of these print problems are primarily caused by ink drying up in the print head or nozzles, which clogs them and doesn't allow ink to reach the paper. Use of the printer to print both black and full color documents on a weekly basis at the least, will help with this problem.

Keep the Print Head Clean
|
Care needs to be taken to ensure that the print head is kept clean in order to stop ink clogging in the outlet nozzles. This applies to the Hewlett Packard and Lexmark printers as they have a tendency not to clean the print head properly as part of their normal cleaning cycles. Often deposits of ink will set up on the end of the print head causing the cartridge to function sub-optimally. This problem can be fixed by removing the cartridge and gently cleaning the print head with a soft cotton cloth or Q-tip dipped in water - don't use tissues or alcohol. Snap the cartridge in and out a couple times to get a good connection after cleaning. Keeping the print head clean greatly increases the number of successful refills.
We also offer a couple of no-cost head cleaning methods for the Canon printers on our Canon Tips page. For unclogging and keeping your Epson print head clean, click here for those products.
