Ever go to print something after a period of inactivity and find that your inkjet cartridges seem to have dried out, resulting in poor print quality or no printing at all? Inkjet cartridges are susceptible to drying out if not used regularly. So, why does this happen, and what can you do about it?
Inkjet ink is water-based, and when the printer sits idle, especially in dry environments, the water in the ink can evaporate, causing the remaining ink to thicken and clog the tiny nozzles in the printhead and the cartridge itself.
What are the signs of a dried-out cartridge? You might see faded prints, missing colors, streaks, or the printer might not print anything at all. Sometimes, running a printhead cleaning cycle can help to dislodge slightly dried ink.
What can you do to prevent cartridges from drying out? If you don't print frequently, it's a good idea to run a test print at least once a week to keep the ink flowing. Storing cartridges in a cool, dry place and ensuring they are properly sealed when not in use can also help. If you suspect your cartridges have dried out, the expert team at Printer Fix Services is here to offer our specialized online support and troubleshooting for this issue. We can guide you through potential recovery steps and offer advice on how to prevent cartridges from drying out in the future.
