How to restore HP 60 ink cartridges using duct tape

Learn how to restore your HP 60 ink cartridges with duct tape by following the detailed, twelve-step tutorial found in this post.

In this post, we are going to talk about different solutions we came across while looking up for the answers to fix printers in our own workshop. We will mainly focus on the HP 60 ink cartridge and how to restore this ink cartridge using a duct tape.

As we already know, printers have a counting pages program installed, this program keeps track of every page printed and every cartridge installed in the printer. The duct tape will be used to confuse/isolate some of the ink cartridges contact info to the printer about the type of cartridge installed, how long it has been used for.

The page counting program installed to the printer will send an error message when the ink cartridge installed has reached the maximum print programmed, therefore we will need to replace the ink cartridge. This is how Canon guarantees its earnings.

However, we can keep this from happening if we choose to install the basic set of drivers instead of the full package, as is indicated in the following post: I’ve refilled my ink cartridges but my printer says they’re empty.

Please follow the steps below to learn how to restore your HP 60 ink cartridge using a duct tape.
You will need a duct tape, preferably a very thick one to stop the electricity from going back and forth (from the ink cartridge to the printer contacts).


Step #1:
Locate the contacts on your ink cartridges: they can be found on the front side. Please avoid touching them since they’re very sensitive to touch and could easily lose this trait.

Step #2:
Cover two (2) of these contacts on your HP 60 ink cartridge, specifically the #3 and #4 ones. Do this before you place the ink cartridge back in the printer, and remember to use resistant duct tape in order to prevent the electricity from passing from one contact to the other and isolate the ink cartridge completely, check the image below.

Step #3:
You must cover these same contacts on the Colored ink cartridge as well before putting them back in the printer, just to make sure this process works. If this procedure doesn’t work out for you, remember we are here to help and please leave a brief comment in the section below and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Step #4:
Once both sets of contacts are covered in the Colored and Black ink cartridges, we recommend you set them back in the printer at the same time. Do not install one after the other, but do it simultaneously, and certainly do not close the printer’s lid in the process. You can close it after they have both been installed in the printer.

Step #5:
Now that you have put the cartridges back and closed the printer’s lid, wait a few moments. The printer will send out an error message saying both ink cartridges are faulty, Don’t worry, this is perfectly normal and expected. It actually means the restoring process is working, so just continue with step #6.

Step #6:
Turn your HP printer off.

Step #7:
Move the ink cartridge carriage until the very center of the printer. Remember you must do this while the printer is off, and do not turn it on until this tutorial tells you to. You can now remove the ink cartridges from the printer. Please keep the duct tape on both contacts, we will be needing it again.

Step #8:
Add more duct tape to the ink cartridge contacts, this time to contacts #3, #4 and #5, the ones found on the right side of the cartridge starting from the bottom up. Their exact location can be found in the following picture.

Step #9:
You can now set the ink cartridges back in the printer and turn ON the printer. Wait for a little until the same error message as in step #5 is displayed on the screen. Like we said before, these errors are perfectly normal and only mean the restore method is working.

Step #10:
Turn your printer off again, move the ink cartridge carriage to the center and extract them once more. You must now go back to the pieces of duct tape that were covering the 2 contacts mentioned in step #3. Put it back on the cartridges, covering the same contacts it was covered before and set them back in the printer. The same error message will appear.

Step #11:
Turn the printer off and move the ink cartridge carriage back to the center. Take them out while the printer’s still off and remove all the duct tape from the ink cartridges.

Step #12:
Install both duct-tape free ink cartridges on the printer and turn it on. The printer must be working normally and you should be able to use the cartridges on a regular basis from now on.

If you have any problems repeating the steps found in this blog post, or it simply doesn’t work out for you, please post a comment in the section below this post and we will get back to you with other possible solutions and the necessary clarifications.
