Cartridges don’t like drying out. When not in their
home (printer cradle), they prefer the comfort of a plastic
bag, or to be wrapped in a plastic blanket, keeping them moist,
healthy and happy. Whether the cartridges need some more ink
to feed on, or if they have just been fed, providing them with
a plastic shelter will help keep them in good working condition. |

Don’t let your cartridges starve. When you notice they
are running low on ink bring them in for a feeding. A cartridge
that still has a little ink left will perform better than a
cartridge that has been starved and is completely out of ink.
By feeding your cartridges when they get hungry many problems
can be avoided. Important Note: Don’t let your cartridges
stay hungry and on vacation for more than a month. After a
month, your cartridge may become lazy and not want to go back
to work. |

Cartridges like to sleep head down. This keeps cartridges
properly hydrated, and prevents them from drying out prematurely. |

Cartridges are creatures of habit. Once they have found an
ink they like to eat, they don’t want to go anywhere
else. While our ingredients are compatible with the original
manufacturer’s, all restaurants may not be. Feeding your
cartridge at another restaurant may cause indigestion. |

Do not shake your cartridge. This can cause damage to your
cartridge’s insides and they may not be able to keep
ink down. |

A cartridge’s home needs to be cleaned and dusted regularly
to keep them in good physical shape. The easiest way to maintain
a healthy environment is to periodically run the printer head
cleaning program. Instructions should be included with your
printer’s housewarming kit. |

When using color cartridges it is important to bring in the
cartridge for a feeding as soon as you notice that one of the
colors is not feeling well – acting sluggish or not showing
up for work. Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are triplets and neglecting
one will affect the stamina of the others. If all three colors
are starved, their ability to work may be irreparably harmed. |

Cartridges need help getting into their cradle. Sometimes
they may look like they don’t want to climb in. Be patient
with your cartridge so that you don’t damage them. Your
housewarming kit should come with instructions for introducing
a cartridge to their residence. A cartridge’s circuit
board is very fragile. Try not to touch or scratch this as
it could scar your cartridge and cause permanent damage. |

If your cartridge is acting out and not behaving like it
should, bring it in for a check-up. The faster we receive your
cartridge the more accurately we can diagnose the problem and
attempt to provide a cure. Bringing in a sample of their work
may also help in diagnosis. |

Cartridges thrive in moderate temperatures. They do not like
winter when it is very cold or the high temperatures in summer.
Whether they are on vacation or at home, always keep your cartridges
at room temperature. Try to avoid prolonged exposure to extreme
temperatures, direct sunlight and open flame. |
