注水中的游山玩水_在“提示”框中：注水以恢复墨盒的活力

注水中的游山玩水

If you’re convinced your ink cartridge has more ink to share than it is willing to give up, you’re right. Read on to see how How-To Geek reader Max squeezes extra life out of his cartridges with plain old water.

如果您确信墨盒中共享的墨水量多于愿意放弃的墨水量，那么您是对的。 请继续阅读，以了解How-To Geek读者Max如何用普通的旧水从墨盒中挤出更多的生命。

Max wrote in with his simple solution. He wasn’t as interested in refilling his cartridges as he was in getting all the ink out of them. Here’s his detailed guide to getting nearly every drop of ink out of your high-priced ink cartridge:

马克斯用他的简单解决方案写了信。 他对填充墨盒的兴趣不如从墨盒中取出所有墨水的兴趣。 这是他的详细指南，可帮助您从高价墨盒中取出几乎每一滴墨水：

The ink in many brands of ink jet printer cartridges is generally water soluble. To see if your ink is water soluble, wet your finger and rub it across a page from your printer you don’t mind wasting.  If the print smears the ink is obviously water soluble.

许多品牌的喷墨打印机墨盒中的墨水通常都是水溶性的。 要查看您的墨水是否可溶于水，请弄湿手指，然后在您不介意浪费的打印机上擦拭整个页面。 如果打印污点，墨水显然是水溶性的。

The top of the printer cartridge generally has the manufacturer’s label attached. It covers tiny holes through which the ink was injected into the cartridge during manufacture.

打印机墨盒的顶部通常贴有制造商的标签。 它覆盖了微小的Kong，在制造过程中，墨水通过这些Kong被注入到墨盒中。

Each of the ink chambers contains a small sponge which holds a miserably tiny quantity of ink. When the ink runs out it is only the water content that is missing. There is still plenty of color left in the sponge.

每个墨水腔均包含一个小的海绵，该海绵容纳着极少量的墨水。 当墨水用完时，仅缺少水分。 海绵中仍然留有许多颜色。

How do you remedy this dried up sponge problem? Suck up about 3ml of water into a syringe and probe the paper label until you locate the filling holes. Poke the needle through the paper into the hole and inject about 3ml of water into the sponge chamber.

您如何解决干dried的海绵问题？ 将约3毫升水注入注射器，并探查纸标签，直到找到加注Kong。 将针刺穿纸Kong，并向海绵腔中注入约3ml水。

Important precautions and considerations: color cartridges generally have three or more filling holes and black cartridges may only have one (although it is possible both types of plastic cartridges may be of the same physical design so either types may have three or more holes). The black cartridge may only have one sponge and yet it may have several filling holes, so don’t over fill it. Unfortunately the only way to establish the exact design of the brand of cartridges you use is to hack one apart and look inside. Photo by zeathiel.

重要的预防措施和注意事项：彩色墨盒通常有三个或更多的填充Kong，黑色墨盒可能只有一个(虽然两种类型的塑料墨盒可能具有相同的物理设计，所以两种类型的墨盒可能都有三个或更多的Kong)。 黑色墨盒可能只有一个海绵，但可能有多个填充Kong，因此请勿过度填充。 不幸的是，要确定所用墨盒品牌的确切设计的唯一方法是将它们分开，然后向里看。 摄影： zeathiel 。

Once refilled you can ignore warnings that the ink is low until such time as you notice the quality of your printing is beginning to suffer.

重新填充后，您可以忽略墨水不足的警告，直到您注意到打印质量开始下降。

This method just about doubles the life of a cartridge and doesn’t appear to damage the printer.

这种方法大约使墨盒的寿命增加一倍，并且不会损坏打印机。

If you’re simply looking to extend the effective printing life of your cartridges before throwing them away this is a great solution for situations where you don’t mind slightly decreasing print quality to save some serious cash. It’s also a good step between squeezing extra life out of the cartridges and outright refilling them. If you use distilled water there is little reason to expect any damage at all to the cartridge and the cartridge can easily be refilled with replacement ink in the future. Thanks for sharing Max!

如果您只是想在扔掉墨盒之前延长墨盒的有效打印寿命，这对于不介意稍微降低打印质量以节省大量现金的情况来说是一个很好的解决方案。 这是从墨盒中抽出额外的使用寿命到完全填充墨盒之间的一个好步骤。 如果使用蒸馏水，则几乎没有理由预期墨盒会受到任何损坏，并且将来可以轻松地用替换墨水重新填充墨盒。 感谢您分享Max！
