The process of changing ink cartridges varies slightly by the make and model of your printer. Open the cover to the area where your cartridges are installed while your printer is turned on. If opening the cover automatically prompts the inks cartridges to move and center in a position where they are accessible, then all you have to do is remove and reinstall new ones. If the cartridges do not automatically move and center themselves where they can be changed, then your printer requires an additional command that you do manually to make this happen. Some printers require the user to push the power button down and hold it for 10 seconds to have the machine move and center the cartridges in a position that can be reached easily by your fingers. Some even have an extra button to push that has a little picture of an ink drop next to it which brings the cartridges forward for replacement. If you cannot reach the cartridges easily, or opening the cover does not automatically move and center them then check your manual for the procedure or repost your question inlcuding the make and model number so that we can locate this information for you.

Lets move forward.

Once the cartridges are in an area that is easily reachable, the next step is to eject the cartridge which needs to be changed. This procedure can also vary by make and model. Look at your cartridges and check for a plastic ejection lever in front that can be pushed down by a finger tip. If you see one, push downward and see if the cartridges is ejected outward towards you. If it is ejected, then replace with new cartridge and push downward to lock it into place and your done. If there is no plastic ejection lever in front of the carriage which holds your cartridges, then place one finger on top of the cartridge you wish to remove and push downward slightly and pull it towards you until it unlocks and releases it. Then remove and replace and push down and forward to lock the new one by into place and your done.

I can give you specific instructions pertaining to your make and model printer if you supply this information on the website. Good luck!

Message: "Ink empty black" --won't reset

this could be because of generic ink carts which do not have the size of the original ones. If so put some paperstrip beneath the cart to lift it up a bit.
Anyway, did you tell the printer that you have changed the cart by pressing 1? Look at the display when you insert the cart!

Did you use generic ink carts? If yes ink has stained the led control. Try to clean it by help of a towel. In some cases this will help. If not, the led control needs replacing!
Another solution:
Did you answer the question given by printer when changing the cart?

You might take all carts out, unplug machine from power outlet. replug to power. wait until machine demands carts. Place cart in and answer question.

Ink

Did you lock and secure the latches?

If yes and still this message, do you run generic ink carts?

If yes, the cart holder is stained with ink and the led-controll-board has a short circuit, which cant be fixed!

You need a new cart holder as a spare part!

Changing ink cartridge

Did you secure the latches when reinstalling the cart? You should hear a clicking sound.

If you had used generic carts before it might be that the cart led control circuit can be stained with splashed ink. This cant be fixed anymore. you need a new cart holder!

Color prints too dark

1. Took out the color ink cart and clean the copper contacts of the ink cart with cotton swab, make sure that you do not touch the silver nozzle .
2. Try new ink color ink carts as someime this issue came up when the ink carts are about to finish up.
3. Replace the ink carts and do not us a refill ink.

Take all carts out. Close cover. Unplug machine from power. Wait a minute. Plug in machine to power. Machine demands carts. Insert new (!) cart as demanded from machine. In case when asked push 1 for YES: cart changed.

BTW:
Always print until machine stopps printing. Display says NO INK XY. After replacing the cart machine will print the rest data out of its memory.

NEVER change cart when machine says low ink (This is only a hint to buy a new cart!). At this point the cart has about one third of ink left!
