10.9 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 temperature (15 to 35 degrees C or 59 to

95 degrees 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.

Storing print cartridges

When print cartridges are removed from the printer, store them in a print cartridge

protector or an airtight plastic container.
If a print cartridge protector came with the photo print cartridge or the gray photo

print cartridge, use the protector to store the print cartridge. If you store the print

cartridge in an airtight plastic container, make sure that the ink nozzles 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.
