How to properly store your cartridges and toners for optimal performance?

The quality and lifespan of your consumables are essential for optimal printing. Improper storage can cause your cartridges and toners to dry out, clog, or deteriorate, directly affecting your printing results. At Cartouche Verte, we offer eco-responsible and efficient solutions. Follow our expert advice to preserve your consumables and ensure impeccable print quality every time!
1. Optimal cartridge storage: preserve your ink
Ideal environment for your cartridges
• Controlled temperature: Maintain an ambient temperature between 15°C and 25°C to avoid deterioration of the ink.
• Balanced humidity: Store your cartridges in an environment with a humidity level between 40% and 60% to avoid drying out or condensation forming.
• Protection from light: Store them away from sunlight to avoid deterioration of print quality.
Strategic position for optimal operation
• Horizontal storage: Ensures even ink distribution and prevents air bubbles from forming.
• Sealed packaging: Store unopened cartridges in their original packaging. For those already used, use an airtight bag to prevent evaporation.
Storage duration
• Respect the expiry date: Each cartridge has an expiry date which is essential to respect to guarantee optimal print quality.
• Regular checks: For cartridges stored for a long time, carry out checks to anticipate any drying out of the ink.
2. Storing toners: adopt the right habits
Suitable storage environment
• Climate control: As with cartridges, favor a temperature between 15°C and 25°C and a moderate humidity level.
• Protection against dust and humidity: Toner exposed to these elements can be damaged, affecting the sharpness of your prints.
Protection against light
Storage in a dark place: Toners are photosensitive and may deteriorate if exposed to prolonged light.
Storage position
• Horizontal storage: Avoids uneven movement of toner and prevents possible leaks.
• Prevention of vibrations and shocks: Handle them with care and avoid areas where they could be subjected to shocks.
