Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean when the Power light turns on and the Right and Left Cartridge lights blink after installing new cartridges on my HP Deskjet 460?

This lighting pattern indicates that both cartridges need attention. You have probably installed them incorrectly or their contacts are dirty. Try removing the cartridges first to see if the contacts need cleaning or if you simply need to reinstall the cartridges properly.

When cleaning the contacts, why should it be done quickly?

Cleaning the contacts should be done quickly because the cartridge should not be exposed for more than 30 minutes. If it is out of the printer for an extended period, the ink can dry and clog the nozzles.

Can I get a replacement if I received a defective ink cartridge?

Yes if it is within one year of purchase. Just let us know by calling or sending us a message via chat or email.
