What is a Tape Cartridge?

Is it ok to take the protective tape off of printer cartridge but not use it?

  • I just bought a new cartridge for my printer, and took off the protective tape that came with it. however, I decided not to use the cartridge at this time, and put the tape back on ...show more

  • Answer:

    It may, however it is unlikely. That tape forms a very tight seal that cannot be duplicated once the cartridge has been opened. What you will want to do is every couple weeks install the cartridge and run a print head cleaning until you are ready to use it.

Yes, the ink can still be used if you put back the tape. However, if it gives you poor printout after a month or two, you can do a head cleaning. It will be able to work perfectly.
