Description

Make sure you have your replacement cartridges handy before you begin — you must install new cartridges immediately after removing the old ones. Leave old cartridges in the printer until you're ready to replace them, to prevent the print head nozzles from drying out. Don't open ink cartridge packages until you're ready to install the ink.

Solution

Select your printer range from the list below:

 

Expression Home series printer without an LCD panel

 

Expression Home series printer with an LCD panel

 

Expression Photo or Premium series printer

 

WorkForce series printer

 

Replace ink cartridges using a computer

Note: If the ink light is on or you see an error on the LCD screen telling you an ink cartridge is installed incorrectly after the print head moves to its home position, an ink cartridge may not be recognised correctly.
