The most common problem with inkjet cartridges is probably the poor print quality. This problem is very much apparent when you have striped prints or possibly no prints at all and even in some cases white lines running straight through each line of printed page. These are the consequences of dried ink in the nozzles, because in that case the ink is blocked and cannot dispense freely. Fortunately, there’s an easy way out! The simple way to bring back the cartridge into 100% performance is to apply alcohol on a Q-tip and gently rub it in a soft circular motion on the print head. This will make the dried ink dilute and allow the ink to flow freely.

You can begin this process by rubbing alcohol on a cotton towel and rub it on the print head. Then get a dry paper towel and clean the printer head dry, and if any traces of ink are left around on the print head, this will also be cleaned with this process. After drying the print nozzle, you can then place the printer cartridge back into the gadget and allow the print-head cleaning mechanism to run.

Once this cleaning procedure is done, your cartridge will be back to work with full efficiency. However, if the problem still persists, then the printer ink cartridge has undergone a major issue and may not be repaired anymore. This generally happens when you have left the printer unused for a long time. In this case, the only way is to purchase a new printer ink cartridge.
