Replacing an Outdated Ink Cartridge

If an ink cartridge is more than six months old, you may need
to replace it. How can you tell? You may notice that your
printouts don't look as good as they used to. If print quality
doesn't improve after cleaning and aligning the print heads, you
can replace one or both cartridges.
