If youprint a lot of graphics, you may need to change cartridges more oftenTo avoid spilling ink, follow these precautions: Do not touch the print head on the ink cartridge or the sharpedges around it. Do not hold the ink cartridge, or place it on your table, with theprint head facing down, except when you are installing it. Do not attempt to disassemble the cartridge.
