How To Take Good Care of the Print Head

Print heads are very expensive. Everybody knows that but HOW to take care of the print heads, many may ask. It's actually very simple. Just ensure that there is lubrication to prevent burnt out or clogging of print heads. Lubrication in this case refers to the ink. So, just make sure you keep refilling the cartridges with ink. Do not leave any cartridge empty.

For that reason, many switch from compatible (sponge in it usually prevents the ink from flowing out consistently causing air to move in and eventually damage the printhead) to spongeless refillable cartridge.

If your printer's print head does clog, this refillable cartridge can be used as a MAINTENANCE KIT to aid the cleaning process! First of all, you have to perform a nozzle check to find out which colour cartridge is clogged. For example, yellow ink doesn't come out because of a clog in the yellow cartridge. So, what you have to do is to take the yellow ink out from the yellow cartridge using a syringe and put it back into the yellow ink bottle. Then, put in a special cleaning chemical into the cartridge. Clean the print head once and leave it overnight. Then, clean the head again and leave it for another day. After 2 - 3 days of head cleaning, the clog should be cleared. Perform another nozzle check to confirm that there is no more clogs.

This method can clean minor clogs. When the clog is cleared, you can then throw the cleaning chemical away and put back the ink and start printing again! If the clog fails to clear, bring your printer to:

Berjaya Technology at 2-69 & 70, Low Yat Plaza, KL.

Special cleaning chemical can be ordered through phone:

Worried about Print Head Damage?

Some may think that by using compatible or refillable cartridge, the print head will be damaged easily. This wrong perception must be washed off immediately! Print heads damage is usually caused by dry ink nozzles (no ink) in one or more cartridges. Ink acts like a lubricant in the cartridge where it protects the print head from burnt out. With this lubricant in the cartridge, the print head will not be damaged so easily. That is why compatible cartridges can cause damage as we do not know when the cartridge runs out of ink. Spongeless refillable cartridge has none of this problem as we can see the ink level and know when to refill. So, don't leave your cartridges empty and remember to refill it when the ink level is low!

Inkjet Paper and Matte Paper

Inkjet Paper - 108gsm

Inkjet paper, also called coated paper, has a special white coating on the surface to make the surface extra white. When you print pictures or photos on inkjet paper, the colour is fantastically sharp and bright. One good thing about inkjet paper is that the colour will not fade, unlike glossy paper whereby the colour will fade when exposed to light. The water resistency for inkjet paper is much better than the normal A4 paper. People like to print flyers and brochures on inkjet paper to get an excellent effect and an appealing look.

Matte Paper - 185gsm

Matte paper is very much like inkjet paper. The only difference is the thickness. Matte paper is thicker than inkjet paper with the same type of extra white surface. Some people prefer matte paper to glossy paper for photo printing as there is no fading problem. Some use matte paper as book cover, magazine cover, greeting cards and etc. Matte paper goes very well with pigment ink. Photo printouts with this match have excellent water resistance and lightfastness. It will be the ultimate choice for people who want their photos to last for centuries as a remembrance for their next generation.
