How to take care of your Brother Printer Toner Cartridges?

It is not advisable to handle and install your Brother printer toner cartridges, but it can help you save money and keep your printer happy and healthy. A few simple steps make a big difference when replacing a cartridge, resulting in better print quality and longer ink, as well as preventing the printer head clogs from being annoyed.


Pre-installation handling of your cartridge.


Be sure to inspect your printer before installing the new Brother printer toner cartridges. Gently shake the cartridge to prime the ink or tap it twice on a hard surface. Ideally, you want to do this before you remove the protective tape. Otherwise, you run the risk of spreading ink everywhere with a messy and expensive flub.


Your next step depends on the type of cartridge you are installing. Most of the brother toner has an elastic tab that houses the vent hole. It even has a plastic clip that prevents leaking of the cartridges when it is in the pack. Not every cartridge has a clip or tab, but it is important to remove them before attempting to install the ink.


You need to be careful about the contact and connection point while installing the toner cartridges in your Brother printer. This point of contact is important to get an accurate reading at your ink level and build a good relationship with your printer. The toner cartridges can be easily scratched and become inefficient when covered with dust particles. If you notice dust on this gold chip, wipe it gently with a Q-tip or lint-free cloth.


Installing your ink cartridges.


Be sure to refer to your instruction manual before attempting to install your ink cartridge. Improperly installing your ink cartridge separately and on each printer can damage the printer, your cartridge or both. If your printer manual has not arrived or you have misused it, you will often not be able to find the PDF version available for download on the manufacturer's website.

You can easily find out a video tutorial for the popular printer brand on their website or on their YouTube channel. You an even follow a tech-savvy vlog or blog for more details about installing the Brother toner cartridges.


When installing fresh ink in your printer, be slow and careful. Keep the cartridge dry using the power button to turn off the printer. Wait until the power button is completely turned off before unplugging the unit. This allows the printer head to return to its resting position, which will help you protect the printer from damage.


Storage and maintenance.


If your business will print a lot, you may want to reserve some ink cartridges. Cartridges are easy to store as long as you follow some basic rules. First, place the Brother printer toner cartridges in their sealed packaging. Removing airtight packaging in which they are shipped will dry them out. The nozzle on your cartridge can be turned on and out of the ink chamber. It is mandatory that you should store the toner cartridges at a somewhere cool and dry place like your cabinet, or on your working desk.


If you have an open cartridge, you can save it as long as you keep it in good condition as needed. Place it in an airtight container next to the nozzle, and if you have a protective tape or clip, reopen it before storing it. To prevent drying, place a damp paper towel next to the cartridge in the container and place it in a cool, dark place. Periodically inspect the cartridge to make sure the paper towel does not dry with the towel. To know more information to contact Ink House Direct.
