It can happen that the ink in the color inkjet cartridges gets combined and it makes the printer print out wrong colors.
This is ink cross contamination and requires the cartridge to be opened and all components have to be cleaned.
This can happen if you overfill the cartridge or if you use methods of unclogging the print nozzles such as keeping the print cartridge in hot water for a long period of time or use other cleaning liquids attempting to unclog the print head nozzles.

The ink from one chamber can migrate into another color's chamber and alter the cartridge colors permanently.
There is a fix for this and you can see it in this video.

Showing how the printer starts to print streaks when the ink nozzles are dried out.
Also showing how to easily refill ink in your color cartridge after cleaning.

Please be careful when doing this and try to do this on a surface where ink stains are OK.

Only try this if you know you can do it.
Use common sense and STAY SAFE!
I will not be responsible for your actions.

Use lots of paper towels newspapers or any paper to cover your desk and use gloves when handling ink.

This can be done on any brand and model of inkjet printer.
Demonstrated using a Canon MG2250 inkjet printer.
Printer cartridges are:
Color: CL-541
Black: PG-540

Oh MERCY!!! After watching this process, I appreciate the patience required to mess with cleaning, refilling or messing with the ink cartridges. I feel much better about paying the high price for replacements. That way I don't have to clean-up, fail or wish I was doing something else.

I have a confession to make.
When we made this video, a LOT of time went into it and it was literally a frozen video.
It got almost no views for more than a whole year.
Then something happened and it started getting more and more views.
It's really nice to see that people watch this and it wasn't made for nothing.


Whoever watched it and enjoyed it so much that it was enough to share,

Thank you so much!!!
My favorite part is the ink in the bottles, really interesting mix of colors.

Oh my bubble gum booty! This WORKED!! My printer dried out because my dumb ass left the heat on in my office 🤣 I did all these steps and OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH! Literally printing like crazy right now. It was the color that gave me the trouble but I am golden now. Thank you again 🥰

Funny note, I didn’t have tape to close the top off so I used bandaid tape. Worked like a charm 🤣

Best cartridge rescue video I've ever seen. Now I'll try this myself

Note : To all who wants to repair any cartridges of Canon Cartridges I suggest to do it at your own risk. Canon Cartridges are air tight sealed cartridges so if you did'nt sealed properly the cover of your cartridges it won't work since air will flow underneath the cover of your cartridges. I did this since 2014 and it work only for black cartridges since color cartridges is really hard to seal.

When i saw hammering steel on steel, I was like: Yep we have a winner.

Brilliant! I always wondered what was inside those cartridges! Thanks!

This is such a great, informative video. Thank you so much for sharing! And the ink sponges in the water was beautiful, thanks for letting us watch it!

Thank you Brother. I am one who would like to DIY, and was struggling to buy a cartridge as those are really very expensive. I m now going to refill it on my own... Best wishes..

[josephwilson]

Excellent video thank you for the demonstration.

[flybobbie]

Just done this before i saw this video. Just lift the tops off, remove sponge and wash everything under the tap. Leave head to soak overnight. Then dry, put few drops of ink on the jet inlet, refit the sponge. Then just enough ink for the sponge to soak up without any visible unsoaked ink to slosh. Refit the lid and taped in place. Works a treat.

You're the most Fearless cartridges doctor on youtube ... love the every bit .

[jimmykirk]

A simple fix but it worked, my printer is now printing again. Thank you for your help!

[nisansalasandamali]

Great job. I could fully recover my cartridge. Thanks a lot.

[calutzubv]

If you buy a refill kit, buy one with a cartridge refill support, is a plastic piece when put the cartrige to refill, and, also, after refill you can pull some droplets of ink, with syringe, without needle, and ink it will come faster.

Man I must say I love this idea. İt worked with my old ass mp150 printer.really really appreciate it.

The best cartridge repair video, English language perfect understood one and all, repair shown in a clear DIY way. Thank you for helping me.

[yukoneggie]

Thank you! It was easy, quick, and will extend the life of my rubbish printer. It looks so much better now, and this time around I’ll keep up on making sure the ink doesn’t dry by printing every week or less.

Great job mate. I just installed a continuous ink system and I over filled the colour cartridge and after following your instructions it now works fine. By the way you have a great voice for documentary / instruction videos ;-)
