you could try a piece of foam / rubber and tape it round the cartridge

[cityinkexpress]

if it uses HP cartridges with print head as long as the black clamps are on it will work

no it wont

Sorry but it needs the clamps to do this - if you put tape round them it may damage the heads, also if you leave in the printer it wont work as its not an airtight seal

it wont work whilst they are in the printer it must have the black clamps over the cartridges- and be totally sealed - if you keep doing it without the clamps it will just damage the travel plug on top

does it have a chance that the cartridge will overflow with ink??

My HP60 cartridges are already installed in the printer.... what should I do? remove them and put some seal to the printhead (I don't have the clamps) or should I leave them on the printer and use the syringe on the plug??

Thanks!!!
