Do not shake HP Ink Cartridges and Print Heads unless suggested by an HP technician or in any HP documents.

 

 

EXCEPTION: check the solution six section 5 for those using  HP 940  ink cartridges and print heads:

It might be helpfult to mention why - shaking most inkjet cartridges and printheads may introduce air into the system, which may then cause colors out or other print defects.

 

In some cases it may also result on ink in undesired places, like desktops or carpeting.
