Are you supposed to remove the clear tape over the ink hole before installing, or does this get puntured when installed?

Can't see any clear tape on mine - just a yellow plastic bracket to remove. If there is tape on yours, I suspect that if it has a pull tab, then it's definitely meant to come off. If it's form-fitting to the opening with no extra on the side, leave it on. You'll know if there is no ink flow, and then you can always take the cartridge back out and remove the tape. Hope this helps!

Remove the yellow protection from edge you might need to poke slightly but really shake the cartridge and install may have repeat until ink comes out when printing. Be patient. Took me a while

You should remove the plastic from both sides and then remove the adhesive strip covers. I bought adhesive because it didn't state on the item that it came with it but it did.

Yes, the ink cartridge is already installed and the unit came with a small roll of paper. I recommend using the small roll for learning and testing then switch to a full roll before using.

I buy cheap transparent tape (NOT magic tape, it's impossible to get off) and tape over the holes on my Canon cartridges. Then I type the date I refilled them on a sticky mailing label and put the label over the tape. When it comes time to refill, I can peel the whole thing off. No mess.

There are two hole covers. One for the vent (bottom), the other for refilling (top). The vent cover is only to be installed during shipping to prevent ink from leaking out. As soon as you received the cartridge and were getting ready to install it, remove the vent hole cover. From this point on, the vent cover does NOT need to be put back in. (Unless you are going to ship or store it).

On the side of the cartridge there should be a green or black lever. You have to pull out the plastic cover from the ink cartridge then it should click in place. Also check inside your printer, it may have fell off that's why you don't see it.

I removed mine but had to do some prep work before installing new one. Just clean surface be sure to remove all old adhesive.

These are some of the easiest ink cartridges to replace. You open up the lid and the printer carriage moves to center itself for easy access. The cartridge(s) that are low on ink will have a blinking light. Simply push up on the outside tab to remove the spent cartridge. Then remove the new cartridge from it's sealed bag, remove the orange tape, remove the protective plastic piece at the bottom by twisting it off, insert the cartridge and press down on the installation tab. You are now good to go!

I heated up the tip of an old knife with my propane torch and slowly oggered a hole out to t bye size needed then covered the hole with duct tape. The hole is on the part of the cartridge that faces up when in the printer so it won't spill out anyway

It should not void your warranty as long you you do not break anything during install. The ink cartridge cover is most likely to break while removing. Hope this helps.

if you are talking about a piece of colored tape sort of seal, just give it a tug. If you are referring to the sort of clear cellophane cover over the ink hole, that stays put, as does the plastic contraption that snaps it into the printer compartment.

Are you asking how to distinguish the tint/color in the cartridge? If so, use the color dot pattern over the ink refil holes as a guide.

if it is the thin clear covering over the area the ink goes through to the printer you can leave it alone. The printer will get the ink. My first replacement was black ink and it was the same way. It will still work. I printed something first and then it recognized it. If it does not print using that cartridge...call or write the place that you bought your ink. I hope this helps and Happy Printing :D

Hi there. When I bought these, there was a plastic cover over the ink part. You must remove that and peel back the tape and then put in your printer. Hope this helps. These cartridges also ruined a printer of mine I now no longer have. It wasn't as compatible as they said and broke the ink heads on my printer. Ink spilled all inside. Good luck.

No, it should be flush with the side when it is installed correctly. Enough so that the U shaped cover strip will fit over it. Use tweezers or Needle nosed pliers to gently remove the card without damaging it and try installing with the opposite side up.

Yes and No.Usually, all you have to do is add in through the fill hole in the top of cartridge.There are two potential exceptions (really only one, cause the second situation should never happen.)When the cartridge is new and used the first time, it may have to be primed. This is likely what you are describing.Priming pulls new ink out the exit port.If you run the cartridge completely dry (which you should NEVER do), then you likely will have to prime it to get rid of the air.

Install the ciss , do not install the ink that come with the printer. The ink is different.
