If you store your extra print cartridge in a container other than an HP storage container, remember these things: - use an airtight container - do not re-tape the nozzle - do not let anything touch the nozzle - store the print cartridge nozzle up Refilling an HP cartridge pushes the electronic and mechanical components of the cartridge past their normal life cycle, creating many potential problems, such as the following: Poor print quality • Non-HP ink can contain components that cause nozzles to become clogged, resulting in streaked copy and graying or fuzzy characters. • Non-HP inks can contain components that corrode the cartridge's electrical components, resulting in poor printouts. Potential damage • If ink from a refilled cartridge leaks, the excess ink might damage the service station that caps the cartridge while it is in the printer but not in use. Because this service station maintains the health of the cartridge, quality problems might occur with this cartridge. • If ink from a refilled cartridge leaks onto the electrical components in your printer, severe printer damage can occur, causing downtime and repair costs. Caution Damage resulting from the modification or refilling of HP cartridges is specifically excluded from the coverage of HP printer warranties. Note: When buying replacement print cartridges, check the part numbers carefully so that you buy the right cartridges for your printer: Black HP C6614A Series Tri-Color HP 51649 Series Photo Cartridge HP C1816 Series 36
