If your printer is running low on ink, it can print blank or faded pages or keep showing a “Low Ink” message. This is an indication that it’s time to install new ink cartridges into your printer.
However, the process to put the ink cartridges in a printer varies depending on whether your printer has a two cartridge or four cartridge setup.
Here, I have prepared a detailed guide on how to put ink cartridges in both kinds of setups.
Safety Instructions
Put Ink Cartridge on Printers With Four Cartridge Setup
Most of the printers today come with a four cartridge setup. In such printers, you will see each cartridge holding Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (Key) ink respectively. One example of such a printer is the Brother DCP-J125 printer.
Let’s see how to put ink cartridges on such printers. However, note that the steps are also applicable to other printer models with four cartridge setup.
Put Ink Cartridge on Printers With Two Cartridge Setup
Some printers like HP Deskjet 2700 and 4100 series printers come with a two cartridge setup—one tricolor cartridge for storing Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow color and another black cartridge for storing black color.
Follow these steps to install ink cartridges on such printers. The steps are also applicable for other printer models with two cartridge setup.
