It was kept in a plastic bag, so probably wasn't entirely dried out, but it was mostly non-functional. But while some ink comes out in the cleaning process, what's left behind in the cartridge works fine, and isn't obviously diluted.Īs it turned out, I also had a year old used PG-210XL cartridge laying around that someone gave me. I'm a little surprised, as I thought the cartridge would just soak up all the water, and I'd have to flush it with ink to restore it. Did the same thing again with clean water. Then wipe off the active surface with a clean wipe, ideally saturated with some rubbing alcohol. The way you do that is to heat up half-an inch of distilled water, and soak the active surface of the cartridge in it for an hour or so. But finally, the cartridge started misbehaving, and I was about to trash it, but decided to try cleaning it. (I only use black.) I just refill the cartridge every three weeks or so. I've had an MP-280 printer for the last two years, and have gone through 10-20 reams of paper with it with ONE PG-210 cartridge.
