Inkjet printers are famous for low cost and excellent quality of colour printing. However, these devices have one common drawback - fast drying of any ink in the cartridge. This leads to a change in the quality of the printer and even a complete lack of printing. If the cartridge is withered, what one must do to deal with the problem?

There are situations when you rush to print documents, turn on the printer and discovers that the HP cartridge has dried. What if there are no cleaners at hand? You can rinse the nozzle with ink. To do this, just create pressure inside the cartridge. Cut off part of the needle with pliers, so that 2 centimetres of metal remains in the syringe. Now, you need to cut a small piece from the eraser, make a self-made seal on a shortened needle, and draw air into the syringe. Place the cartridge on the napkin with the nozzles up, insert the needle into the filling hole and squeeze the air out of the syringe. In this case, the piece of eraser should completely cover the filling holes. The ink will come out through the nozzles.
