Troubleshooting
Cartridge not recognized by printer
Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated. Remove and reinsert it. Check that the protective tape has been fully removed and that the cartridge is the correct model for your printer.
Poor print quality or faded cyan color
Check the ink levels. Run a print head cleaning cycle through the printer's software or control panel. If the issue persists after cleaning, ensure the cartridge is not empty and try re-seating it. Confirm the correct printer driver settings are selected.
Ink smudging or streaks on prints
Run a print head cleaning cycle. Ensure the paper type selected in the print settings matches the paper being used. Check that the printer's rollers are clean.
Low page yield
Verify that the cartridge is set to 'High Yield' mode in the printer settings if applicable. Ensure print settings are not excessively high for the type of document being printed. The stated page yield is an estimate; actual yield may vary based on usage.
