...original cartridge. You can find remanufactured versions of many different ink cartridges online including those originally produced by Canon, Epson, Dell, Hewlett Packard (HP), Lexmark, Samsung and Sharp. When remanufacturing inks the cartridges are cleaned through and then have any non-reusable parts replaced, before being refilled with a high quality ink. If the cartridges require an ink level estimate to be recognised by a printer they then ha...
...ue paper and holding the printhead of the cartridge on the damp patch for 30-60 seconds. This will hopefully break down any dried ink. With this done I recommend performing a few head clean from your printer to pull fresh ink from the cartridge. There is of course a chance that this will not resolve the issue, but as the dried printhead poses no threat to your printer and the alternative is disposing of the cartridge, it is certainly worth a try....
...p you printing with the black cartridge only to force you into buying more ink cartridges. Whilst I am sure they don’t complain about the extra funds, there are several very valid reasons for your printer to prevent you from printing with only a single cartridge installed. The main reason being that ink can dry at the point of exit from a printhead if left for an extended period of time. This not only degrades the quality of your prints, but can c...
...rtridge out of the printer and hold the damp patch over the printhead for 30-60 seconds. You should now hopefully have a small ink soaked patch on the tissue with traces of all the relevant colours. Then wipe the printhead several times on the dry part of the tissue and you should start to see the colours come through. Reinstall and run one more head cleaning cycle. With any luck you should now see your prints coming out as expected or at least no...
...g your Brother laser printer you will need both a toner cartridge and a DR3000 drum unit. Changing the toner cartridge in your printer is simple and your printer checks out key parts of the toner cartridge to determine how full or empty it is. It is however a very different story when it comes to replacing a DR3000 drum unit and your printer will need to be told a new drum has been installed so that it can reset a counter internally that estimates...
...dition to a toner cartridge your Brother laser printer also requires a DR3000 drum unit to print. When you change toners your printer can tell when a new one has been installed by checking key points of the cartridge. It is not possible however for your printer to do this with a DR3000 drum unit and your printer requires a prompt to reset its internal counter that estimates the life of a drum unit. If left un-reset the drum LED light will continue...
...om sitting flat on the extender. Can anything be done? Sadly there are no known fixes at present, but we will of course keep you up to date should we come up with any alternate products that can be used with the new chip design. Currently with the exception of the HP Deskjet 3070, PhotoSmart 5510, 6510 and 7850 you can still use remanufactured cartridges with chips in these printers, but please take a moment to double check compatibility for your...
...retained by sponges that control the flow of the ink. If you have just refilled your cartridge and are finding the colours are absent from your prints immediately, it is entirely possible the position of the ink inside the cartridge is the cause. For our full guide to refilling these cartridges including needle position please click here, otherwise you may want to check out our article on troubleshooting print quality problems here. I hope you ha...
