The black cartrdiges are stored nozzles up, the color cartrdige should be
stored nozzles down. Is that the rule for all HP cartridges? I'm using a 5550. ============================== "Bob Headrick" wrote in message ... "William P. Turczynski" wrote in message .com... Bob: Thanks! The new one and the one I replaced was dated 11/6/01, a bit old! I two more stashed elesewhere but these two are packaged in different colored boxes. The one I replaced was in a mostly dark blue box. I looked at both for dates and the format is different! These have "KASIA 01007" if I remember correctly. Is that still 2001? That is not quite the right format, but at one time the date format was YYMMDD. It looks like you have some very old cartrdiges.... I have four black carts too still in old packaging too. I thought that the color carts were inserted in the boxes orfice down but the black ones where orfice up for sure. Which way should it be? I want to keep the one color cart stored correctly not saying that it'll work though!! The black cartrdiges are stored nozzles up, the color cartrdige should be stored nozzles down. Whoops! I forgot to mention that the color cart in the new packaging worked just fine! Thanks again. Glad to hear that. Regards, Bob Headrick, not speaking for my employer HP |

Bob,
If you have unused colour cartridges that have been stored and are full of ink and are not working try the following: Place the cartridge in a (preferably clear) plastic bag with the nozzle area towards one of the bottom corners. Gather the bag up around the cartridge and tie the neck tightly with strong twine in such a way that the cartridge ink nozzles stay pointing away from the knot into the corner, and leave about four feet of twine after tying the knot. Go outside (important that) and whirl it around about six to eight times so that a centrifuge effect causes all three colours to flow. Clean it up gently as per instructions at, for example I used the following for my OfficeJet 1150c. http://h20015.www2.hp.com/en/documen...Id=oj1150c&lc= en&docName=bpu02176 This worked well for me. I won't carry spares much in future! Cheers, ~Andrew "William P. Turczynski" wrote in message news Bob: Thanks for the info! -- William P. Turczynski "Bob Headrick" wrote in message ... "William P.
