Is it ok to take ink cartridges out your printer to see if they are empty and then put them back if still full?

its ok to do that but u wont get the right info. If u have an up to date printer like lexmark they usual have a program install unto your computer go to that program and they usual tell you the amount of ink u have in a picture diagram

It probably won't hurt anything, but it's not really a good idea. Most printers have a software utility that will tell you approximately how much ink is left in the cartridges - check the manufacturer's website for more information.

firstly yes you can but your printer will probably notify you that a cartridge was removed and "has it been replaced with a new one?"(just click no)
Secondly....how are you going to tell if it's empty or not by looking at it? because I would definately not suggest shaking it to find out !!! the only way I can think of is to weigh it on a set of digital scales against the weight of a new FULL one.

There are no "low priced" ink refills, and that i've got heard of folk having comparable issues as you have. Use the top cleansing and alignment applications that got here with your printer diverse cases till you have greater useful outcomes. many times, you may desire to pay for appropriate ink cartridges or run into comparable issues no remember which printer you purchase. definite, that's stressful to could desire to pay lots. For now, please get used to the assumption-- that's the character of the beast.

U cannot physically see, Use the printer software "status monitor" to see the remaining ink levels.
