It can happen that the ink in the color inkjet cartridges gets combined and it makes the printer print out wrong colors.
This is ink cross contamination and requires the cartridge to be opened and all components have to be cleaned.
This can happen if you overfill the cartridge or if you use methods of unclogging the print nozzles such as keeping the print cartridge in hot water for a long period of time or use other cleaning liquids attempting to unclog the print head nozzles.
The ink from one chamber can migrate into another color's chamber and alter the cartridge colors permanently.
There is a fix for this and you can see it in this video.
Showing how the printer starts to print streaks when the ink nozzles are dried out.
Also showing how to easily refill ink in your color cartridge after cleaning.
Please be careful when doing this and try to do this on a surface where ink stains are OK.
Only try this if you know you can do it.
Use common sense and STAY SAFE!
I will not be responsible for your actions.
Use lots of paper towels newspapers or any paper to cover your desk and use gloves when handling ink.
This can be done on any brand and model of inkjet printer.
Demonstrated using a Canon MG2250 inkjet printer.
Printer cartridges are:
Color: CL-541
Black: PG-540

I have a confession to make.
When we made this video, a LOT of time went into it and it was literally a frozen video.
It got almost no views for more than a whole year.
Then something happened and it started getting more and more views.
It's really nice to see that people watch this and it wasn't made for nothing.
Whoever watched it and enjoyed it so much that it was enough to share,
Thank you so much!!!
My favorite part is the ink in the bottles, really interesting mix of colors.
@Nibbler800 Keep on putting water in the cartridge.
I struggle with my cartridge i must fix it whatever happend bec i need to print modules for my kids ..it turns great..i can now use my printer thank you for the video i subs already
Can we really put the cartilage in water that long. It won't get damage
Plz tell me
Oh MERCY!!! After watching this process, I appreciate the patience required to mess with cleaning, refilling or messing with the ink cartridges. I feel much better about paying the high price for replacements. That way I don't have to clean-up, fail or wish I was doing something else.
Oh my bubble gum booty! This WORKED!! My printer dried out because my dumb ass left the heat on in my office 🤣 I did all these steps and OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! Literally printing like crazy right now. It was the color that gave me the trouble but I am golden now. Thank you again 🥰
Funny note, I didn’t have tape to close the top off so I used bandaid tape. Worked like a charm 🤣
Note : To all who wants to repair any cartridges of Canon Cartridges I suggest to do it at your own risk. Canon Cartridges are air tight sealed cartridges so if you did'nt sealed properly the cover of your cartridges it won't work since air will flow underneath the cover of your cartridges. I did this since 2014 and it work only for black cartridges since color cartridges is really hard to seal.
Hi, @avidplayerexcel9412 I agree with you. I have tried this on a inktank cartridge. The black one works. The color one will draw air in the inktank pipes. Can you help me how to seal it properly?
@@sarlakhattar Use mobile folder pasting glue and dont put too much ink like the uploader or you will get vertical lines like him
You're the most Fearless cartridges doctor on youtube ... love the every bit .
This is such a great, informative video. Thank you so much for sharing! And the ink sponges in the water was beautiful, thanks for letting us watch it!
Thank you Brother. I am one who would like to DIY, and was struggling to buy a cartridge as those are really very expensive. I m now going to refill it on my own... Best wishes..
When i saw hammering steel on steel, I was like: Yep we have a winner.
Best cartridge rescue video I've ever seen. Now I'll try this myself
Just done this before i saw this video. Just lift the tops off, remove sponge and wash everything under the tap. Leave head to soak overnight. Then dry, put few drops of ink on the jet inlet, refit the sponge. Then just enough ink for the sponge to soak up without any visible unsoaked ink to slosh. Refit the lid and taped in place. Works a treat.
Heey, did you get those lines?
I also have problems with yellow that looks orange, orange looks marron and consequently green is much darker, Magenta becomes dark blue, but I'm afraid to do that and get the lines since I need to print many docs with images and diagrams 😕
Thanks in advance, just need to know if those lines appeared with someone else who tried this or not.
Brilliant! I always wondered what was inside those cartridges! Thanks!
Excellent video thank you for the demonstration.
If you buy a refill kit, buy one with a cartridge refill support, is a plastic piece when put the cartrige to refill, and, also, after refill you can pull some droplets of ink, with syringe, without needle, and ink it will come faster.
The best cartridge repair video, English language perfect understood one and all, repair shown in a clear DIY way. Thank you for helping me.
Great job mate. I just installed a continuous ink system and I over filled the colour cartridge and after following your instructions it now works fine. By the way you have a great voice for documentary / instruction videos ;-)
Thank you!
Man I must say I love this idea. İt worked with my old ass mp150 printer.really really appreciate it.
Very good information. However, the nozzles and prechamber (channel under the screen filter that leads to the printhead) must be cleaned. This is the area where ink dries and is very difficult to get clean. I would recommend using distilled water heated to 140 deg F, then an ultrasonic bath. Clean for 5 minutes then rinse well with more distilled water. You need to keep cleaning until you see no more dried ink in the ultrasonic bath. Good luck! Also, always make sure the flex circuit is dry on the outside and inside before installing into the printer...the water can cause a short circuit and make your cartridge unrecognized in the printer.
Great job. I could fully recover my cartridge. Thanks a lot.
Thank you! It was easy, quick, and will extend the life of my rubbish printer. It looks so much better now, and this time around I’ll keep up on making sure the ink doesn’t dry by printing every week or less.
That's the worst thing about inkjet printers at home. Having to print just to keep it running.
Look at laser for the next one.
Cheap b/w laser is all we need really.
A simple fix but it worked, my printer is now printing again. Thank you for your help!
Hi, your video was so clear and easy to watch, I tried watching two others but have you because they were so boring. I will use your method to clean my old Canon printer, but where do I buy the ink itself? I live in New Zealand and it can be hard to get certain items. You should be making all kinds of videos, your English is good, you have an attractive accent, and the way you made everything seem so easy was excellent. Cheers.
Thank you so much! It's really encouraging to read! I got mine on ebay from the cheapest sellers I could find at that time.
Try to find local ink refill shops. They might do the refill for cheap or might sell refill kits. Otherwise ebay, amazon or local alternatives.
I finished the video and the problem was not solved lol... wasted my 18mins there
Same here bro
same here
This is a video of "How to clean sponges of the cartridge" 🤣🤣 lol
@@funfucus7817 it also serves as a video on how NOT to refill an ink cartridge. 😆
You are a lifesaver, my friend. Just the video I needed. Cheers!
I am using cannon mg3670 only for scanning rarely use prints. The catrige are dryer without using , any remidy to prepare or replace cartridge. Colour prints only red OK. B/w plain paper coming out.
bro my printer is printing only pink colour in colour printout will it workout bro ?
Hair dryer on top first. Top comes off easier
you can dry the sponge quickly by keeping it on a wire mesh and placing it inside any cooking vessel with lid covered,
Thanks ION Howto friends.
God bless you.
It seems inject only about 3ml for each color, 5ml for black (but it's not much of a problem for the black on coz' there's no other color to get mixed with).
New subscriber here.
What Is the liquid?
Peoples says after of 3 to 4 times in refilling and its head gets damage . Is it true ? Or it just gets jam by ink ?
And how Ink tank cartridge Head survive that long ?
than how same Cartridge Technology in Inktank printer survives so long ?
It's true. The ink nozzles can be blocked and be fixed but if the electric part of it fails, you will have to replace the cartridge at some point. It depends on how many lines you are ok with.
I'd say 5-10 times refills are possible and after try to find third party cartridges
I pry the using flat screwdriver....i take out the sponge in it and rinse with water and soak in hot water....can i also soak the cartridge hot boilling water?? Is it can break the chip attached to the cartridge??
this just happened, definitely have to do this, thank you
"If it doesn't work just hit a bit harder" oh yes the Romanian fix for all problems including your ink cartridge, your tv and your wife 👍
Thank you so much! I'll use it as my last shot to save my printer 🥺
If you can't get it working, you could try third party cartridges or even replace with original cartridges but it depends on the price of the printer vs new cartridges.
Very nice explanation 👍👍
When first installing it the printer will ask for permission to update the firmware. If the firmware is updated will this cause the printer to refuse printing after the cartridge is refilled ?
where can I find the same instruction for the HP 305 and 305XL tricolor? you see the dots of yellow and blue are opposite to what is on the label, here you have the same yellow and blue are opposite.
I refilled the hp305 followed the color dots then filled the yellow ink on the blue side and vice versa following the misleading dots on the label.
am gonna do what you did on this video and restore the cartilage.
many, many thanks for this video, gave me the confidence to clean the sponges, thanks again.
How to connect this type of Canon GM1350 printer to my PC . I need a video
If i use it to my cartidge than it will print like the new one as before??? Or it will be like unclear?
Great video, I didn't know it is possible to get to the sponge ... Probably you can get rid of the lines If you soak the head in cleaning fluid and then prime it with kitchen towel and vacuum cleaner.
Hello bro , i have canon pixma g2420 with an error 5200
I filled the ink in each of the tanks, tubes and cartridge, but unfortunately the same problem is still present, and I also cannot control the commands via the buttons ( menu...) on the printer because it shows me an error (printed sheet count 2451-2500)
Thank you very much and please reply to my problem if you encounter this problem.

well done .thank you.
μπράβο παλικάρι μας έδωσες πολύ καλές οδηγίες. ευχαριστούμε
Great job. I could fully recover my cartridge. Thanks a lot.🙂
This will be my last option with my black cartridge ..when i do test print there is no line patterns in the middle ..we did everything already,.. except this
In the state of that cartridge i would buy a new one or a refillable one from another brand to start from new, It works yeah but the print looks like shit even after cleaning, Even if the off brand one might be lower quality than OEM it will look much better than what you currently have, Having all them lines would drive me crazy

Hello Sir. Please how can I fix my canon pixma G2411 printer error P10 with supporting code B204
Try to reinstall the print cartridges.
Salut Dragoș! Mulțumiri pentru acest video instructiv. Din păcate, după cum ai observat chiar tu, problema nu s-a rezolvat prin curățarea cartușului. De ce? Pentru că dungile orizontale subțiri sunt date aproape întotdeauna de una sau câteva duze "arse", adică cu contactele întrerupte din cauza unei supraîncălziri. Ura și la gară, trebuie cumpărat un nou cartuș!
Problema era ca avea culorile amestecate. Cateva dungi au disparut dar unele au ramas. Ai dreptate, cartus nou e cel mai bine.
Mine canon black catridge not working. Ink is not clogged. I resetted the printer but in computer even after reset its showing total number of test prints. I am totally f**cked up with canon 745s printer
I TRIED THIS TODAY.
Since, I had no option left because my HP cartridge 680 Tri-color is terribly blocked. I haven't used the printer for 2 months so I did this process today. Removing ink from sponges is very hard. So, I decided to left it in distilled water for overnight. Let's see if it works or not. Please suggest something if you want to.
Try 50/50 ipa and distilled water and increase to 70% ipa and window cleaner 30% if still not good. You could try to repeat it few times.
@@IONHowTo So, after continously cleaning the sponges for two days in 50-50 ratio of distilled water and ipa with a little window cleaner, it didn't really helped. So, I put them in concentrate ipa, the sponges looks better than before. But, the magenta and blue one didn't get clean completely and I don't think it going to be as white as yours. SHOULD I CONTINUE WITH THE PROCEDURE OR TRY TO CLEAN THEM AGAIN TILL THEY TURN WHITE? (I cleaned it as much I could tho.)
@@shiwangi8310 it's up to you, at this point if it's still not ok, I would look at replacing it with original or compatible ones.
You do the best in explaining. Thank you. BTW where are u from? I ask because I lived in the middle east for a number of years
I'm Romanian
may i know what kind of tape you used to seal the cart?
Use any tape you have, best is thinnest and similar to masking tape. Scotch tape masking tape, electrical tape anything
Great job
Bro I have also done manual cleaning of printer but still lines are coming in my printing why so please help me
If you must have zero lines, you would need to get a new cartridge if it's this type with ink and print head as 1 unit.
@@IONHowTo Buying color and black cartridges can be very expensive there is no other way
@@movieslocation089 you can refill it, clean it like in the video if needed and try to be ok with a few lines left.
The more you use the printer, the less chances to get ink nozzles blocked.
@@IONHowTo thanks for the help
Will this work on my old used cartridges?
Might work. If you have time to try it, why not give it a try.
Otherwise, new cartridge is always there as an option.
@12:01 My late husband would put alcohol on his "head" and keep the head with the alcohol part on his head and feel it. I would squeeze it until it ran dry! Have a nice day! :)
finally i find a way to ublock it!
My printer is only using the color yellow whenever im trying to print pictures .. does it only need some cleaning of the cartridges? Cause whenever i look inside the printer i always notice that the blue and the magenta one is not flowing in the tube..
Need to refill them or clean them.
If you print at least once every 2-3 weeks and they stopped, you could take them to a refill shop or try it yourself if you have the ink.
Is it possible use alcool etilico to clean?
Yes you could try but IPA might be still better.
Try as long as it's only alcohol and no solvents or perfumes. Don't let it get dry on the nozzles.
Next time sir request for how to fix printer feeder thanks
i don't know why you wasted so much paper, just wash the sponge under running water, it comes clean, entirely white as new,
Hi, my cartridge spills everytime i refill it. I've only make a very small hole like only the pin of syringe can enter. When I refilled it, the colors went different because of spilling. How could I fix this problem? Please help.
Damsel In Serenity i think you used too much ink.
thanks.that was very good
can u heip me about my canon 490 the black photo copy is not working only the colored one working,What u think is the problem on it?
Try the printer nozzle cleaning modes on the printer, look in printer’s manual
Very good video, helped a lot
very nice video buddy ... CHEERs....
Now i opened my HP 21 Cartridge some time ago and broke the small partition and inserted a bigger sponge there by increasing the Ink Volume to 20 ml from mere 5 ml ,,, BUT alas i am not able to start the ink flow when trying to print (It Gives me a blank page and if i rub a paper towel on the print head it gives me some ink but if i just touch it without rubbing no ink is seen),,, ANY suggestions would be welcomed..
If you put the cartridge on a paper towel the ink should come out. If not, try blasting it with some warm pressure water or use suction from a vacuum to draw ink out thru a paper towel.
If ink comes out but won’t print. It’s contacts must be bad or damaged.
@@IONHowTo My Dear Friend Thanks but ive tried all ... ive even put it in a home made centrifuge .... but no Luck at least till now
With mechanical pressure ink comes out, otherwise gives blank page indicates dry ink presence still near nozzle area of inkjet
After refill do I have to leave the ink to settle for how many hours?
30 min is enough
Good video , try ink cartridge clamp, i hear it solve the line problems
Used these long time ago and they work very well. Could't find them now - didn't know their actual name in English.
Thank you! Will try it. 😀
Dragos Ion
You welcome, i’m sure you will find it in china like AliExpress, There is also continuous ink systems to connect the cartridge through containers with tubes which gives massive ink solutions.
@@r240j it's everywhere, the continuous ink is not for me. We try to print as litle as we can.
16:39 your nozzle check sign is you need to replace your cartridge. cartridge lifespan is only 2year the Best way to remove that line is to replace the cartridge. Your cartridge is almost in the life limit used
