Each user of an MFP or printer, sooner or later, is faced with the fact that ink is running out of cartridges. This problem has several solutions:
- refill the cartridge using the services of a service center and a specialist;
- buying a new one;
- refill the cartridge yourself.
Constantly contacting a service center for refueling will cost you quite a lot, especially if the device is used intensively.
The cost of the original cartridges is such that, having bought them several times, you will lay out an amount equal to the cost of the printer.
In this article, we’ll show you how to refill the Canon MG2440 cartridge and save on the cost of purchasing or refueling from specialists.
To refuel
We will need:
- awl;
- disposable gloves;
- knife;
- lighter;
- disposable syringes;
- napkins;
- appropriate ink models.
As you can see, everything is simple.
Canon Pixma MG2440 MFP: ink cartridges and refills
High clarity and print quality are ensured by the FINE cartridge system. This system is characterized by an ink drop of more than 2 picoliters in size. The maximum print resolution is 4800 dpi.
Remove the protective sticker from the cartridge with a knife. We do this carefully so that the label can later be glued into place.
Under the label we find quite small holes on the surface of the cartridges. With the help of a heated awl, it is necessary to expand them. We do this so that when refilling the cartridge, air freely leaves it, and the ink does not spill out. The holes should be slightly larger than the diameter of the syringe needle.
There are three holes on the color cartridge for red, blue, and yellow. On black - one thing.
Before refueling a Canon MG2440 cartridge , note the following: we do not recommend touching the pads with your fingers. Gently wipe the surface of the pads with a soft cloth if this is not possible.
We proceed directly to the refueling process.
We collect in the syringe colored ink. Pay attention to the color matching when refilling, otherwise the cartridge will be damaged.
Insert the needle into the hole, slowly introduce ink.
It is important to remember that the paint should be administered very slowly. Then it is possible to track the right amount and stop on time. We fill each of the flowers until the paint comes out of the hole. Wipe the leaked ink with a napkin.
Now you need to make sure that the paint does not leak. If this happens, select the paint with the same syringe.
Fill the next paint into a new syringe and insert it into the corresponding hole.
To refill the black cartridge, we collect 10 ml of ink.
After refueling
After completing the task and figuring out how to refill the Canon MG2440 cartridge, do not forget to reset it to the printer.
To do this, insert the cartridges into the device. Close the front cover. On the indication buttons we see that the printer does not read refilled cartridges. To reset, hold the Stop button for 10-15 seconds (a red triangle in the circle ). After that, we start printing the test page.
After the next refueling, zeroing will no longer be necessary. This is done only after the first refueling.
Nozzles
After refueling, the nozzles must be clean and free of paint. Otherwise, it is necessary to take the ink with a syringe.
Recommendation: every 8-12 days, make several prints so that the nozzles do not dry out and the cartridges last for a long time. To avoid malfunction and further overheating, the cartridge for the Canon MG2440 printer must be refilled.
In addition, pay close attention to the print quality of your device. As soon as spots or light streaks appear, stop working and add ink.
The cartridge for the Canon PIXMA MG2540 is refilled in the same way.
