Cartridges are something that many people don’t think about until it’s too late. They’re an essential part of any printer but can be expensive if you purchase them at the wrong time. This blog post will talk you through the things that you must know about cartridges.
Here are 6 things you probably didn’t know about toner & inkjet cartridges:
- You can recycle cartridges.
When a cartridge runs out, it is thrown away and ends up in the landfill. However, cartridges are made of plastic that you can reuse to create new products!
By recycling your old printer cartridges, you will help save natural resources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Make sure to recycle your cartridges at a recycling center rather than throwing them away in the garbage!
- Cartridges can be refilled and reused.
Refilling an empty cartridge is like filling up a reusable water bottle instead of buying new plastic bottles each time you want one.
Not only will it save money, but it will also save paper! Many cartridge companies now offer refill kits as well as cartridges that you can refill.
- Don’t use cartridges again and again
You should not reuse cartridges over and over again if they have been refilled several times already.
There is a risk of running out of ink too soon, which wastes both time and money. So instead, it’s best to refill cartridges once they’re about halfway gone.
- You can refill cartridges at home
You can refill cartridges at home with a little know-how and patience! It is not as hard as it sounds, but you will need some tools such as tweezers or pliers for removing the plugs on cartridge nozzles.
Refilling your own cartridge will save you money, and it’s a great way to recycle your old cartridges.
- Cartridges can print more pages than they are rated for!
If you notice that your ink or Samsung toner is running low only after printing 25-50 pages, don’t worry about purchasing new cartridges yet.
You may be able to refill your cartridge and print more than 100 pages with it.
- The cartridge nozzles can clog if unused for a while
Cartridge nozzles can clog if they are not used for a long time or if the cartridges aren’t stored properly before use.
However, there is an easy way to solve this problem! Just soak the cartridge in warm water until all of the clogs have been cleared.
The Final Words
In conclusion, ink and toner cartridges are a much better option than buying a new printer when you need more printer supplies. They cost less and save the environment at the same time!
