How should I store unused ink cartridges?

What should I do if a cartridge is not recognized by the printer?

Troubleshooting

Printer not recognizing new cartridge

Ensure the cartridge is correctly installed. Remove and reinsert it firmly. Check that protective tape has been fully removed. If the issue persists, try cleaning the electrical contacts on both the cartridge and the printer with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Print quality is poor (streaks, smudges, faded colors)

Run the printer's built-in head cleaning utility. Ensure the correct paper type is selected in the printer settings. If using multiple new cartridges, confirm all were installed correctly. If the problem continues, a head cleaning cycle might be needed.

Low ink warnings appearing prematurely

Printer ink level sensors can sometimes be inaccurate. Continue printing if quality remains acceptable. If print quality degrades significantly, it is time to replace the cartridge.
