Do these need replaced? and if so how often

mine needed replaced after about 2 years. the printer will notify you that the heads need to be replaced.

My printer was over two years old before the heads became a problem. When I tried to use it in draft print mode the printed sheets were too faint to read and then the regular print mode began to look faded too. The printer never actually said "replace heads" however it tried to clean them a lot but without any success.I hope this helps.

They are print heads and the ink is feed thru them onto the paper. I had to replace mine after 4 years. The new ones should both cost $100.00. I saved my old ones and have them soaking in 70% alcohol. The next time I notice the print not printing well I will reuse the old ones again. I think that the ink starts to dry up in the print heads and does not flow properly. They should work again.

Yes, they need to be replaced. I use my printer moderately and it was 3 yrs before I replaced the print heads. I would probably just buy a new printer because the cost of new ink and print heads was about the same. I saw the 8600 at Costco for around 170.00 on sale

Shojld be every few years. In my case I has quality print problems - streaks that wont go away no matter how much cleaning I did. HP support pages recommended in my case to replace the headers. Worked for me , and the quality was perfect again.

Yes they do. I can't say for sure how often but in the event that you have plenty of ink in your printer but you pages aren't printing the colors correctly, it's time to replace the print heads. I've had my printer about two years. With so many students in the house it gets used constantly so I guess each year would be a good time to change them. Now the printer works better than ever. I tried going to an office supply store first but I was told they had to order it, so I turned to amazon. :-)

it is just as cheap to buy a new printer versus the cost of buy a new printhead

Sorry, I haven' t had to replace them yet, so haven't looked around. I assume you have tried the manufacturer.

Mine has been working for several years and just now needs replacement. DOES not need frequent replacement. I've got them in both bathrooms.

I replaced mine when it was not working anymore. Otherwise if it's cleaned well, you don't need to replace it often or at all.

I replace mine about once a month when using the machine. The only reason I can see to replace is that mine get hard water deposits and no longer wick the moisture properly. You may not need to change them as often although eventually they will kind of break down. I am not sure how often the manufacturer recommends replacement. Hope this helps.

Mine are starting to wear off and I haven't had them but about a year. I do put mine in the dishwasher though.

I have never had to replace them. You should find out the manufacturer and go to their website and either call them or look for replaceable parts. I'm not sure you can even replace them. Wish I had more info.

Honestly. I'm not 100% sure. Theyre on there pretty good and they work perfect, so I don't see a need to replace.

I have been using them for 2 years. if you use them twice a day they will last 30 days. You than need to replace them. I don believe it is permanent, you will have to continue on a maintenance program I sometimes forget, but most of time I use them at least once a day I hope this helps by iluvmath65@yahoo.com

Not sure exactly, but I rarely replace them, I would say over six months at the very least

I would replace them all as the others will probably go next . I bought a kit to replace all . Did and haven't had any problems. Hope this helps

I'm sorry...I cannot answer but I'd like to find out too! I bought these (and bought some more) because they sounded like a good, logical idea but I have no earthly idea how to know when they need replacement (or if they even work, for that matter)

I've had my lights for over 6 months and have had no problems to date. I would contact customer service to see if they can replace them

I'd replace them every time the housing is opened. But I do not discard them until they get so bent or frayed that they don't fit in place well or interfere with the housing seal. Just refresh them in an oven as directed on the package.
