3 Maintenance Tips to Save Hundreds in Printer Repair Costs

2025-12-24

The night before a proposal deadline, it spits out “junk paper" covered in broken lines, blurred text, or even ink smudges.

80% of common printer issues stem from poor maintenance. A simple repair can cost tens of dollars—enough to buy several new ink cartridges.

3 cost-free, easy-to-follow universal printer maintenance rules
  • Regular Use
    Reason: Ink left stagnant in the printhead gradually evaporates and solidifies, causing clogs.
    Solution: Develop the habit of powering on your printer at least once a week and printing a color test page to keep the ink flowing smoothly.
  • Proper Installation to Prevent Ink Leaks at the Source
    Cause: Violent shaking creates air bubbles that enter ink channels, causing print skips and leaks.
    Solution: After opening a new cartridge, let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Always insert it level and at a steady pace.
  • Utilize software to activate your device's built-in “free doctor"
    1. Locate your device in the computer's “Devices and Printers"
    2. Right-click and select “Printer Preferences" or 'Maintenance’
    3. Sequentially perform “Nozzle Check," “Printhead Calibration," and “Deep Clean (max 1-2 times monthly)" functions
