Hi,

I use oroginal hp ink, but when i haven’t used the printer for a while (a month or so), the ink ‘dries out’ even though i have only printet 20-30 pages, and the package says the cartridge is for 100 pages. I’ve had the problem 3 times now, and believe it’s less than what can be expected, considering the price of ink.

Any solutions?

 

Cheers

Kasper

Ink dries out if you don't use the printer for a longer period that is normal.

But a month… Is that normal?

Ink dries within 1-2 weeks if the printer is not used, depending on the environment it can dry ever sooner or later. The way to avoid this is to use a printer every 4-5 days.
