Installation & Troubleshooting
Installing: open the cartridge access door and wait for the carriage to stop. Lift or press the old cartridge out of its holder. Unwrap the new cartridge and peel the protective tape off the print nozzles, without touching the nozzles or the copper contacts. Push it into the holder until it snaps in, close the door, and print an alignment page if the printer asks.
"Cartridge not recognized" or an ink-level warning: take the cartridge out, wipe the contacts with a dry lint-free cloth, make sure all tape is off and reseat it until it clicks. If the printer warns that the ink level can't be detected, confirm the prompt to keep printing.
Streaks or missing colors: run the nozzle check and print-head cleaning from the printer's maintenance menu, then print a test page.

Remanufactured vs. Compatible vs. Original
Original (OEM) supplies are new from the printer brand and cost the most. Remanufactured supplies, like this one, start as genuine original cartridges or tanks that are cleaned, refilled and tested, so they fit and communicate like the original at a fraction of the price. Compatible supplies are built new by a third party. Castle Ink sells remanufactured inkjet cartridges and compatible toner.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which printers does it fit?
X5150 and X6170. See the full list above, or check our Find Ink by Printer page.
Will this void my printer warranty?
No. Under the U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer can't void your printer warranty just because you used a third-party or remanufactured supply. If a non-original supply directly caused damage, that specific repair might not be covered.
How long can I store it?
Store it sealed, at room temperature and out of direct sunlight, and use it within about 24 months for best results. Once opened, install it promptly.
When will my order ship?
Orders placed by 4 PM ET, Monday through Friday, ship the same business day from Long Island, NY, by USPS (2–5 business days). Expedited 1–2 day delivery is available at checkout, and shipping is free on orders over $50.
