Must Be The Ink
by Barry Shultz
All too often I get emails from people who after refilling their cartridges say that the printer printed fine but the next day
it stopped working. They yell and holler that it must be my ink, it's clogging their print head.
Guess what? It aint so. And here's why. All inks have a drying agent that's true. But because of this if you allow your cartridges to go uncapped over night you stand a good chance of printing a blank page in the morning. Most people are doing this very thing without even realizing it.
Do you turn your printer off when you're finished using it? More than likely the answer is NO. You see when you turn off your
printer a magical thing happens. The capping station will "cap" off your print head creating an airtight seal.
"Ok, smart guy", you're saying. "I turn off my printer each night and it still happens". Then you've got another problem. First off,
your printer may have a problem with the capping station. It's mechanical you know and things can go wrong.
Secondly there is a problem with amateur refilling because we just don't have the expensive equipment that the pros use. The
problem is air. We need it to breath but inkjet cartridges hate it. When you inject the ink into a cartridge it's likely that some air will
get in there too. The air is in the form of tiny bubbles. It takes a while for the little bubbles to work their way out. Usually over
night the bubbles try to migrate up as the weight of the ink will try to migrate down. This can create a vacuum inside the
cartridge as air is sucked in through the print head. The result is no ink flow
thus no print. A head cleaning will usually rectify the problem. Besides you should be doing a head cleaning every day, aren't you? If you've been reading my newsletters you know this is important.
We have analyzed many bulk ink returns over the years and have yet to find one defective bottle. So there you have it. It's not the ink!

Till next time.
