How to Replace an Ink Cartridge in an Inkjet Printer – Printzone


So your printer has run out of ink and you want to find a replacement ink cartridge? More importantly, you want to find cheap ink cartridges? Here are some steps to take to ensure the ink-replacement process is as simple as possible.

Identify your exact printer so you know what kind of replacement ink to buy and where to buy your replacement cheap ink cartridge. One size does NOT fit all when it comes to printer ink. An HP printer will have a very different replacement cartridge compared to a Canon printer and even different Canon printers will have a different size and shape to their respective ink cartridges. The exact type of printer that you have should be printed clearly on it and will probably be a combination of the brand name plus some letters and numbers. You need to share ALL of those numbers in order to get the most accurate reading on what printer you have. For example, I own a Canon Pixma MX310.

1. Identify how to open your printer and remove the empty ink containers. Usually there is a clearly marked button on the side or front of the printer to open the printer and access the ink loading zone. You can also check your owner’s manual. If you threw out the owner’s manual for your printer, you can always use a search engine to search for the name of your printer and the word ‘manual’. For example, I would search for ‘Canon MX310 manual’ to find a copy of the owner’s manual online and read the section on ejecting the empty print cartridges.

2. Remove the empty cartridge or cartridges. Remember, just because the black and white ink is empty does not mean you have to remove the color ink and vice versa. Take care not to get ink on your hands.

3. Find somewhere to buy a replacement cheap ink cartridge. You can get them in office supply stores or online or direct from the manufacturer, although they usually cost a bit more this way.

4. After you receive your ordered ink cartridges and remove the packages, remove the tape on the cartridge. Hold them in the correct position and put them where the old cartridges were. It should go in with little resistance and make a soft clicking noise when it’s properly engaged. Your printer or manual may have instructions or pictures on how to do this properly.

5. Close the printer cover and print a test page to ensure that the replacement cartridge has been engaged. The page may print automatically for you. Printer Cartridges : Australia’s favourite online printer cartridge superstore. All major brands and fast delivery.
