Use the video below to see what the cartridges look like and how to install them. Please note, the video shows the Canon 570/571 range; the steps are the same for the cartridges for your printer. The appearance of compatible cartridges may vary.
Cartridge missing or damaged
- Remove the faulty cartridge from the printer.
- Make sure all the packaging clips and tape covering the breathing hole have been removed. Take care not to squeeze the sides during this as some ink may spill.
- Pull the power cable out the back of the printer and leave the printer off for 15 minutes.
Ink in the cartridge, but not printing
- The cartridge may show as empty or produce faded print despite ink remaining.
- Printing stops once the cartridge reaches around 30% remaining ink, which is kept as a reserve.
- This reserve cannot be accessed and is used to keep the internal sponge moist and protect the printhead.
- This is normal behaviour and not a fault.
- The cartridge will need to be replaced.
Printing blank pages / fading on print
- If print quality is poor or no ink is appearing, perform 2–3 head cleans/nozzle cleans.
- Leave 20 minutes between each cleaning cycle.
- If the issue persists, switch off the printer and unplug it for 10 minutes.
- Re-install the cartridge and try printing again.
