Prior to installing your ink cartridge, ensure that you have placed the cartridge upright for at least three hours. Storing printer ink cartridges the wrong way can cause problems with printing performance.

Once the ink has settled you are ready to install your ink cartridge. The next step is to remove any tabs or tape from the ink cartridge. If left on you could cause major damage to your printer. Place the cartridge in the printer according to your printer manual instructions.

Once the ink cartridge is installed, it is good idea to run the printhead cleaning option at least once but preferably twice. Although this process causes ink to be used it is worthwhile as it will ensure the best printing performance in the long run.

Run a test print to determine the quality of the print. If it is not as good as expected try running the printhead cleaning option again. This should solve most problems.

Follow these few steps to install your ink cartridge and you should achieve optimal printing performance.
