Below are the 13 easy steps to know how to remanufacture your
Hewlett Packard C6578A/D inkjet cartridge.
Step #1 Initial Cleaning of Nozzle Plates:
*Each individual cartridge should be given a quick yet thorough
cleaning of the nozzle plate and circuit tab at the beginning of
the process.
This is achieved by directing the finest atomized spray onto the
nozzle plate and circuit. The goal is just to remove any
build-up of coarse, dried inks that would prevent an accurate
visual inspection of the surface condition of the nozzle plate.
Targeting the circuit tab will enable an accurate electrical
test. The atomized spray is roughly 44 degrees C (110 degrees
F). Timing is approximately 6-8 seconds per cartridge is all
that is usually required.
Step #2 - Visual Inspection:
*Now that the nozzle plates and circuitry have been cleaned and
dry, the engineer must identify cartridges that may have loose
or damaged nozzle plates, otherwise this will cause future
headaches that are unnecessary.
With the use of a magnifying glass, your task will become
easier, reducing your time frame. Immaculate shiny nozzle plates
reflect the light from their gold plated colored surfaces.
You don't even need to be an expert to utilize those reflections
to trace insignificant marks in the surface. Certain reflections
can indicate a loose corner or an entire section when the
reflective plane in one part of the plate is different from its
adjacent parts.
Any cartridges that fails and does not pass this ruling, is
discarded without hesitation. You probably will not find a way
to fix a loose or damaged nozzle plate.
Step #3 - Electrical Testing:
*As for the electrical test, it continues to reduce the
opportunity that any non-usable cartridges will be processed by
subtracting those cartridges with electrical circuit failures.
All that take part in this action should be disposed of.
Step #4 - Drilling:
*The path or access to the foams for both cleaning and filling
is gained by drilling out the OEM (original equipment
manufacturer) vent plugs.
The drilled holes are in the exact same location of the existing
holes initially, although the drilled holes at approximately 4mm
are quite larger. The larger the holes will be capped towards
the final stage of the process.
Step #5 - Flush Cleaning:
*The reason for the flush cleaning procedure steps is to reduce
each cartridge to an identical condition. All cartridges can be
expected to react in the same way to the near subsequent filling
operations, prior to.
The flush cleaning process involves descending a sharp edged
needle within 2-3 millimeters of the three internal filter
screens and allows purified warm water to flow continuously for
8-10 minutes.
Suction is not applied to the nozzles, and as for the content of
water pressure, evacuates through the drilled top-vent holes.
The excess of water carries away virtually 100 percent of the
OEM (original equipment manufacturer) regardless of how full or
empty the cartridge chambers may have been.
Step #6 - Nozzle Cleaning:
*In order to thoroughly clean the nozzles, the atomized water
stream is now directed with an accurate currency into all nozzle
entrances at various angles.
The abundant flush cleaning and this nozzle atomization
compliment each other well is the most effective and dominating
cleaning method causing damage to the ink delivery system. Take
this into consideration.
This close atomization cleaning process averages approximately
20 seconds per cartridge.
Step #7 - Centrifuging:
*Cartridges that have been flushed and cleaned-atomized are
completely saturated with purified water. As a result, the
removal of this water is addressed in the following two steps.
Centrifuging at 3,000 rpm removes the excess content of water
through the drilled vent holes. This four-minute cycle has the
potential to ease the magenta foam (center chamber) away from
the filter screen.
As a precautionary measure, the cartridges are rotated at 180
degrees and re-centrifuged for an additional cycle. Even though
no additional water is removed therefore no stress is put onto
the nozzle plates.
Or even any foam that may have crept away is reseated into firm
contact with the filter screens. Cartridges removed from the
centrifuge may weigh in the 95-100 gram scale.
Step #8 - Foam Drying:
*The maximum weight for each cartridge before refilling is
nearly 92 grams. Anything above this weight, the foams contain
too much moisture.
Moisture will shift the foams hydrophobic quality toward the
hydrophilic side, providing them to wick the new ink toward the
top of the foams. Eventually this will render the cartridges to
become inoperable within 48 hours.
Dry foams on the other hand, will prevent the capillary action
and keep the ink place in the lower 1/3 of the foam. As for the
final stage of drying, the foams are accomplished in the vacuum
oven where the entire ink cartridge is placed within a heated
vacuum environment.
Due to extended moisture levels, there is a pre-programmed
system of evacuations and purges, in which the moisture content
of all the foams is reduced to a more acceptable level.
Step #9 - Vacuum Filling:
*The nozzles must be taped in order to prevent air ingestion
during the arrival to atmospheric pressure. The cartridges are
then filled to approx. 13ml per chamber in a vacuum environment.
Ink is then slowly released, as close to the filter screens as
possible, to ensure the complete saturation of the ink at the
print head.
After the fill has complete, the vacuum release is controlled
over the most important factors in the success or failure of
these cartridges. For the most part, inks are available that
have the correct characteristics for persistent along with
consistent success in these cartridges.
After the cartridges have been refilled, they are then put to
the side for about 12-15 hours before any print testing is
accomplished. This time is mandatory so that the cartridges can
have time for equalization.
Step #10 - Print Testing:
*The most responsive way to test your ink cartridges is to use
an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) printer and test each
finished ink cartridge.
A test print that begins with flooding of all the nozzles helps
prime the cartridges to demonstrate accurate test results. You
should get a solid thick line of black, cyan (blue), magenta
(red), and yellow when print calibration has completed.
Step #11 - Replacement Vent Plugs:
*Every cartridge that passes the print test will then receive
three replacement plugs in the drilled access holes. The reason
for the molded plug is so that it has more of an attracted
appearance. This also takes place for the venting that's
necessary for the proper function of the cartridge.
Remember, there are graduation classes of the three colors such
as 90 percent, 89 percent, 70 percent, and so on. Quite a few
failures of each color may not manifest until the 45-65 percent
range. You should print the minimum of 2 full pages of graphics
to ensure highest quality.
Step #12 - Nozzle Sealing:
*Since the print testing leaves an ink residue on the nozzle
plate, it is critical that the residue is completely removed
prior to the application of the blue sealing tape.
There is a machine called the Jet-Prep 550 that emits a mini
burst of steam that is very effective when it comes to removing
the excess residue of ink that remains on the nozzle plate
exterior, which air dries in a few minutes to an impeccable
clean surface.
Next, the blue sealed tape is adhered to the nozzle plate and
due to the heat which helps soften the tape conforms to the
shape of the print head and silicon encapsulations at either
side of the nozzle plate.
Step #13 - Packaging:
*In order to complete this remanufacturing process you need to
clean the outside of the cartridge, input a date code, replace
the labels, and insert the finished cartridge into a newly
designed professional looking box for retail purposes.
Congratulations, you have successfully completed the process on
how to remanufacture your own Hewlett Packard C6578D inkjet
printer cartridge.
Good luck and complete each cartridge as if it were your last.
