To successfully remanufacture/re-fill a Lexmark or Dell black cartridge, all OEM pigment residue must be removed
from the cartridge. LCF III is the first cleaning solution that has been specifically formulated to assist with breaking
down the OEM pigment residue commonly found trapped within the pre-firing chamber and ink supply tubes
without the necessity to replace cartridge screens mounted on top of the pre-firing chamber.

General suggestions for use
LCF III can be used with all cartridges that require igment residue removal, but in all cases the cartridge must be rinsed out with purified water before ink is filled (failure to rinse out with purified water will result in de-stabilisation of the fresh ink being filled into the cartridge).
LCF III can be used hot or cold - the only noticeable difference between the two is the time it takes to disperse the OEM pigment residue. Typical timings are as follows:
Hot (approx. 60-70°C / 140-158°F)
Fill the cartridge with up to 40ml of hot LCF III and leave to soak with the nozzles suspended until the LCF III is
cold. The LCF remaining in the cartridge must then be emptied out and the cartridge be rinsed out with purified water.
Cold (direct from the container)
Fill the cartridge with up to 40ml of LCF III and leave to soak with the nozzles suspended for 1 hour. The LCF remaining
in the cartridge must then be emptied out and the cartridge be rinsed out with purified water.
NOTES:
- Leaving cartridges soaking in LCF III for more than 2 hours will result in permanent damage to the print-head.
- LCFIII is not designed for use with HP 51629 and C6614 cartridges.
