You might wonder what happened despite the plethora of ink injected in the cartridge. Certainly, there are reasons behind it and how it will be addressed. Although it’s a bother to experience this problem, finding the best solution for this wouldn’t be difficult. Below are the steps on how to fix dry ink cartridge.

• When the printer is rarely used, there is a tendency that the nozzle will dry up. So, in order to maintain the performance, using the printer at least once a day can help unclog the ink cartridges.
• The Canon PGI-250 Ink Cartridge is easy to remove so make sure to take advantage of it. Find what’s faulty. Remove the ink cartridge and put it a bowl of lukewarm water. Also, the nozzle should be completely submerged.
• Using a piece of cloth or a cotton bud, wipe the entrance of the nozzle and check what will happen. When the ink flows out into the water, you’re good to go. If the ink doesn’t flow, try to leave the cartridge submerged in the water for another couple of minutes.
• If the problem is fixed, be sure to dry up the ink cartridge before putting it back in the printer.

Hopefully, these steps will help you in fixing dry ink cartridges. If all else fail, the best thing to do is to contact the manufacturer and check what other options they have to help you fix the problem.
