Set the cartridge with the
print head facing up, always apply a couple of drops print head cleaner to the
orifice plate;
(do not use distilled water). |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Clean both sides of cartridge with Acetone applied with a towel;
(Cartridge sides must be free of wax, oil, moisture to obtain good adhesion). |
|

Remove release liner from the “Lid”;
(Separate release liner from
tape beginning from behind finger pull). |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|

ROLL seal on and hold compressed against
nozzle plate;
(Placing the seal straight down onto the nozzle plate will trap and force
air into the nozzles). |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Apply tape to sides of cartridge to hold seal compressed against
nozzle plate;

Print Head Cleaner |
|
|
|
|
| |
Always apply print head
cleaner prior to installing our Universal Lids.
DO NOT USE
WATER.
Print head cleaner is fast and easy to use, our test results indicate it’s
presence in the print head after filling, print testing and sealing
continues to dissolve coagulated and dried ink often improving print quality
and minimizes chemical incompatibility.
Prior to filling set the cartridge with the print head facing up, apply
a couple of drops print head cleaner to the orifice plate, wipe,
re-apply print head cleaner and allow to soak into the orifices.
Be sure to always after filling and test printing apply a
couple of drops of print head cleaner to the orifice plate, then apply a Lid.

Inkjet Cartridge Print Test Sheet |
|
|
|
|
| |
A simple method to label, protect an inkjet
cartridge is to use the print test sheet as a wrapper for the refilled
cartridge.
Click on the link below to load the
Inkjet Cartridge Print Test Sheet (CartridgeTestSheet.doc)
into your default browser. It can then be saved
as a word document, (click on "File", "Save As", select the folder to save
the file in, click on "Save"); you will be able to revise it with your company information
using Word 2000.
After print testing a cartridge fold the print test sheet along the
horizontal lines; wrap it around the cartridge and secure with a rubber band
as illustrated.
Print Test Sheet (Word 2000 document format)
 |
|
|
|
|
The front of the Print Test Sheet has the
following message:
When this cartridge is empty
turn this test sheet
over with Empty
on the outside;
wrap around empty cartridge;
secure with rubber band;
place in plastic bag.
The
above message minimizes full cartridges mistakenly returned for refill,
protects the circuit plate, protects the print head and
eliminates cross-contaminated cartridges resulting from the print head coming into
contact with a plastic bag.

Vacuum Fill
Benefits |
|
|
|
|
|
Sponge type
cartridges such as the HP6578 have an inherent problem with air locking.
If a cartridge is not vacuum filled with a vacuum of 25 inches of mercury or
more air retained in the nozzles, print head and sponge will cause the cartridge to
air lock. Common symptoms due
to air locking is (despite good circuitry) to streak or completely quit when test printed
or while being used.
Air in the nozzle(s) stops the normal ink heating and ejection, instead air
is heated, no ink is ejected and soon the nozzle will fail due to
overheating.
