Pollution-reducing ink jet printer cartridge remanufacturing technology

The ink cartridge is the implementer of the printer's output function. It is passively accepting instructions to work, and its quality issues will have no effect on the printer's motherboard and printer programs. However, the discarded ink cartridges have great environmental pollution. There are mainly three aspects: the white plastic pollution caused by non-degradable plastic shells, the water pollution caused by non-ferrous ink, and the air particulate pollution caused by black and colored powders.

In response to the environmental pollution caused by discarded ink cartridges, the country’s first local standard for remanufactured ink cartridges for ink jet printers was implemented in Shanghai in 2008, reducing the user’s printing costs through discarded wear and recycling and saving money. Energy saving.

Cartridge regeneration technology is as follows:

Manufacturer drip method

The drip method is a method introduced by the manufacturer and is applicable to the case where the ink cartridge and the print head are separated. The Canon BC-21e color ink cartridge is of this type. The BC-21e color ink cartridge is composed of a print head, a black ink cartridge, and a color ink cartridge. The separable black ink cartridge is called BCI-21b, and the color ink cartridge is called BCI-21c. Because the two ink cartridges and the print head can be separated, there must be an ink pipe interface connected with the print head. Here, we call the ink pipe outlet at the lower end of the ink cartridge. The factory drip method uses the ink outlet as the inlet for filling ink. In order to match the drip method, manufacturers have designed and supplied complete accessories for the user: ink bottles, cartridge covers, and screws (Figure 3). A drip hole is drilled in the position of the ink cartridge cover corresponding to the ink outlet of the ink cartridge, which is for inserting the ink bottle to inject ink. For a three-color color ink cartridge, a color label is attached on the side of the cartridge cover corresponding to the drip hole, and the user must strictly check the color of the ink outlet corresponding to each hole in order to avoid wrong ink. The steps of drip method are as follows: To prevent the ink from overflowing and contaminating the desktop, first turn the ink cartridge upside down on the absorbent soft paper, and then put the cartridge cover on the end of the ink cartridge outlet. At this time, you should see from the drip hole on the cartridge cover. To each outlet. For BC-21c color ink cartridges, remove the bottle cap from the corresponding colored ink bottle, insert the drip hole in the cartridge cover, and screw a small hole in the aluminum foil at the end of the ink bottle so that the air can enter and the ink will enter under gravity. Drip into the cartridge.

For the BC-21b black ink cartridge, remove the black ink bottle from the bottle stopper, insert the drip hole in the cartridge cover, and remove the ventilation cap at the end of the ink bottle so that the air enters and the ink starts to drip into the cartridge under gravity.

Note: The volume of each bottle of ink is sufficient to dispense once. The user should fill up after a certain color of ink has been consumed. The user should not attempt to add the two bottles of ink to the cartridge at one time. This will cause excess ink to overflow.

For Canon BCI-21b black ink cartridges, BCI-21c color ink cartridge manufacturers have provided a similar set of ink tools. Advantages of drip method: Do not damage the ink cartridge structure, simple and convenient, easy to grasp. Disadvantages: Adding ink from the ink outlet will make the dust and Other large particles that may block the nozzle directly enter the print head without going through the cartridge filter system. If the compatible ink quality is not high, the nozzle may be blocked and the print head will be scrapped. This separate print head should have a long life if the original ink was replaced. Therefore, when it is impossible to conclude that the compatible ink quality, the risk of regeneration of the separated cartridge using the drip method is the greatest.

Reaming and perfusion method

Reaming and perfusion methods are amateur DIY methods. There is a vent on each cartridge. This is a breathing apparatus designed to maintain the pressure balance inside the cartridge. For integrated cartridges that do not fit the drip method, a few users expand the air vents on the cartridge and then infuse the ink from there. It is also introduced in some computer magazines by such methods. We do not recommend using the hole-retaining method because it will destroy the pores, and serious will cause the cartridge to be scrapped. For detailed reasons, see the "Ink cartridge regeneration FAQ" section in this article.

Boring method

Manufacturers drip method may block the nozzle, hole expansion rule will destroy the pores, if you can not from the ink outlet or stomatal ink on the two channels ready to pour, the only option is to open up a path to drill. The drilling and perfusion method is firstly applied to the BC-20 black high-capacity ink cartridge, the BC-22e color photo ink cartridge, and the BC-29F color fluorescent ink cartridge, which all belong to the ink cartridge print head integrated ink cartridge. The ink cartridge itself has no ink outlet except the nozzle, and the air hole can not be destroyed, so only the drilling and filling method can be used. In order to cooperate with the drilling and perfusion method, manufacturers have designed and provided complete accessories for users: ink bottles, drill bits, and skin tigers with needles. The drilling and perfusion method is performed by using a drill to drill at the top of the cartridge, and the position of the drilled hole is to be separated from the air hole for a certain distance. The color ink cartridge should also pay attention to the position of various colors. The color ink cartridges are available in four colors and are stored in four compartments with sponges, each with a vent. The user can determine the position of each color compartment according to compatible ink instructions or air holes. After drilling through, insert the needle of the ink bottle into the drill hole and press the ink bottle firmly to infuse the ink. Note that a bottle of ink can be poured about 6 times without over-filling to avoid ink spillage. After filling, remove the ink bottle and close the hole with a drop of paraffin wax with a lighted candle. For BC-03 and similar ink cartridges, without drilling, only the tools provided in the manufacturer's accessories are used to push the ball on the side of the cartridge into the cartridge, inject the ink from the exposed opening, and then close the opening with the steel beads and stickers provided by the ink manufacturer. can. The advantages of drilling and perfusion method: Do not destroy the pores, make full use of the integrated cartridge filter system, as long as compatible ink quality is good, generally can be multiple perfusion. The disadvantage is that drilling is required and the operation is slightly troublesome (but it only needs to be drilled once). Since the integrated cartridge is a product design that is used up and thrown, the loss of the ink cartridge that should have been discarded even if it is filled is almost negligible, and the user can replace the new cartridge by himself and the maintenance cost is reduced to a minimum. Once successful, it can save at least 50% of the cost. Therefore, the low-risk, high-efficiency, integrated ink cartridge + compatible ink is the best ink cartridge DIY combination recommended by this article.

Compatible cartridge replacement method

Compatible ink cartridges refer to discrete ink cartridges (without print heads) developed and developed by domestic manufacturers. The manufacturers claim that the structural capacity of the ink cartridges is the same as that of the original separate ink cartridges. The advantage of compatible disassembled ink cartridges is that they are easy to install and are the same as the original split cartridges, with no inconvenience caused by ink leaks. However, for the vast number of DIYer, because its price is not much different from the original ink cartridges, it is not a good choice, according to merchants that the map is more convenient for the unit users.
