Maintain 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 (15° to 35° C or 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.

Follow these instructions to

store print cartridges

.

Store print cartridges

When print cartridges are removed from the printer, store them in an airtight plastic
container or in the print cartridge protector that comes with the photo print cartridge.
