Chapter 7 Follow these tips to help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print quality: • Keep all unused print cartridges in their original sealed packages until they are needed. Store print cartridges at room temperature (15-35 degrees C or 59-95 degrees F). • Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to install the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed from the print cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape damages the print cartridge. Remove ink from your skin and clothing Follow these instructions to remove ink from your skin and clothing: Surface Skin White fabric Color fabric Remedy Wash the area with an abrasive soap. Wash the fabric in cold water and use chlorine bleach. Wash the fabric in cold water and use sudsy ammonia. CAUTION: Always use cold water to remove ink from fabric.
