CartClip Activator

CartClip Activator for reliable priming of HP ink cartridges

A CartClip Activator is a practical tool for the professional refilling of compatible HP ink cartridges. It is used after the cartridge has been filled to prime the nozzle antechamber. This process helps remove small air bubbles that may enter the ink system during refilling. At the same time, the activator supports an even supply of ink to the area directly in front of the printhead nozzles.

The nozzle antechamber is located between the internal filter or ink sponge and the printhead nozzles. The ink in this area should contain as little trapped air as possible. Micro air bubbles can interrupt the ink flow and may prevent individual nozzles from receiving ink immediately after a cartridge has been refilled. Priming with a compatible CartClip Activator is therefore an important step when preparing reusable ink cartridges for operation.

This category includes activators for different cartridge series. Depending on the version, the tools are suitable for HP 17, 23, 41 and 78 cartridges or for HP 22, 28, 57 and 58 cartridges. Always select the CartClip Activator according to the shape of the cartridge and its nozzle plate. A compatible model is required to hold the cartridge correctly and create the necessary connection with the printhead area.

CartClip Activators are suitable for refill companies, cartridge remanufacturers, service workshops and experienced private users. They allow cartridges to be primed without the need for an expensive or complex vacuum filling system. This makes them useful for controlled cartridge processing after refilling. Always work with suitable ink and keep the cartridge, nozzles and electrical contacts clean.
