Care needs to be taken to ensure that the print head is kept clean in order to stop ink clogging in the outlet nozzles. This applies to the Hewlett Packard and Lexmark printers as they have a tendency not to clean the print head properly as part of their normal cleaning cycles. Often deposits of ink will set up on the end of the print head causing the cartridge to function sub-optimally. This problem can be fixed by removing the cartridge and gently cleaning the print head with a soft cotton cloth or Q-tip dipped in water - don't use tissues or alcohol. Snap the cartridge in and out a couple times to get a good connection after cleaning. Keeping the print head clean greatly increases the number of successful refills.
