i... hate... printer cartridges...
4 years ago
Incoming opinions!! TAKE COVER!!
i dont use my printer for a few months, and the fucking things dry out, clog solid, or... whatever the fuck they do to refuse to print!!!!!!
tried every cartridge cleaning hack i could find on youtube just to get my damn printer to print black for text, the color cartridge is working, but the fucking black ink one wont give me ink no matter how i clean it, soak it, alcohol it, blast it with air through the vent... urrrgh!!! 3/4 full and it looks like i have to buy a new fucking cartridge, and this is the third time the damn thing has done this to me! thanks a whole fucking lot, HP... (hp officejet 3830 for those curious)
i dont often print much other than documents, and can literally go months without even turning the printer on until i have that one thing i need to print that's 12 pages long and all i'm getting are magenta and cyan, zero black text whatsoever. and printer ink aint fucking cheap and ive never run a cartridge out on this fucking printer cause the fucking things dry out and clog or whatever before i use all the fucking ink...
probably not an uncommon rant either... i'll just use my boss's printer at work for this shit, fucking tired of trying these stupid not-working printer ink hacks... perfect frustration to top off an annoying overall day at work lol...

Legitimately, I used to work at best buy so I had to research this stuff
HP instant ink is actually super amazing and I highly recommend you look into it
i may not be the most tech-savy person in the world, but all i need to do is print 12 pages of text with a couple pages of satellite map for an address for an event, and my printer has failed its one job in my eyes if it wont work when i need it to... just, had a frustrating day already without this crap happening on top of it...
Otherwise just start printin random stuff out! Since you're already using their service you might as well!
but putting the cartridges in bags when im not using them is definetely something ill try, i got some of those anti-oxygen silicon packs i can throw in too if that might help as well
