When your print job isn’t up to par, you can get rid of smudges, white lines and reduce paper jams by simply cleaning your printer.Most inkjets have a self-cleaning process you can access from your printer’s control panel. If that process doesn’t remedy the problem, try one of the following.

1. Inkjet cleaning cartridges flush dirt and debris out of clogged printer nozzles, restoring the quality of your prints and prolonging the life of your print heads. However, take care that the cleaning fluid you use is approved for your brand and model of printer.

2. Before cleaning inside your inkjet, turn it off and unplug it. Let it cool down if necessary.

3. Dust, hair, and lint from inexpensive papers can gum up your printer’s rollers. A computer vacuum is usually a safe way to remove debris.

These short, easy tips should help any printer and its cartridge be it Epson ink cartridges or an HP printer.
