Refill Glove Pack

Gloves for cartridge work, not general workshop use

The Refill Glove Pack is built for ink handling tasks where neat fingers matter more than heavy abrasion protection. In cartridge refill work, one smear of dye ink on a chip, seal or scanner strip can turn a tidy job into a messy one, so these gloves are kept close to the refill station.

They are used during refills, nozzle checks, leak checks and empty cartridge sorting. The pack works well in a Westville office room, a Durban studio with a busy colour queue, or a wide-format counter where several cartridges move through the bench each morning.

• Disposable pack for short service jobs
• Suitable for liquid ink handling and cartridge cleaning
• Useful around spouts, syringes, caps and cleaning cloths
• Helps keep skin clear of dye and pigment residue

Pack sizes and glove options that suit the bench

We supply glove packs in practical counts so the bench can be stocked without overbuying. Small packs suit a home office or a single operator. Larger packs suit refill counters, dispatch benches and shops that handle empties for return or recycling.

Most refill tasks call for a light, close-fitting glove that gives enough feel for seals and caps. Some teams want a powder-free option for cleaner handling around printheads and nozzles, while others prefer a slightly thicker glove for repeated cartidge washing and wipe-down work. The main point is grip, comfort and control when ink gets involved.

• Small, medium and large hand sizes are commonly kept
• Powder-free options are better for cleaner bench work
• Light-duty and heavier-duty pack choices can be matched to task type
• Box counts can be matched to refill volume and staff numbers

Where these gloves fit into real refill jobs

Glove packs suit cartridge refills, CISS top-ups, printhead cleaning routines and pigment ink handling. They are especially helpful where teams move between black text cartridges and colour sets, or where a studio handles multiple machines and needs a clean changeover between inks.

They also help during empty return sorting. Used cartridges often carry wet residue around the outlet, seal or sponge area, and a glove gives better control when parts are checked before storage or dispatch. For wide-format work, gloves are useful when touching damp lines, filling bottles or checking for traces around fittings.

• Good for office printer service points and design studios
• Useful for dye ink and pigment ink handling
• Handy during empty cartridge returns and storage
• Fits refill counters that keep parts separated by machine type

Handling, fit and fitting notes for clean use

There is no installation work in the usual sense, but correct fit matters. A glove that is too loose can catch on a cartridge latch or slip while cleaning a nozzle plate. One that is too tight may split when you reach for a syringe, chip reset tool or cleaning cloth. For the best result, choose a size that sits snugly without cutting into the fingers.

Before use, check that the pack is sealed and the gloves are free of tears or pinholes. Keep a pair close to the refill tray rather than inside the ink cupboard, because damp storage spots can weaken some materials over time. If the team handles both pigment and dye work, it helps to keep separate glove packs near each station so ink colours do not cross over onto the wrong cartridges.

Care, storage and disposal after service work

These gloves are made for short service sessions and should be replaced once they are stained, torn or stretched out. After a refill run, remove them carefully so wet ink does not smear onto wrists or sleeves. If a glove has picked up pigment ink, cleaning cloth lint or adhesive residue, it is best treated as used service waste and not kept for another round.

Store unopened packs in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sun and loose solvent containers. In coastal Durban humidity, sealed stock keeps its shape better than packs left open on a shelf. Where a shop runs empty return and recycling work, gloves should be kept separate from the cartridges so sorting stays tidy and the bench stays easier to clean.

• Replace after visible staining, tearing or puncture
• Keep sealed packs dry and out of direct sunlight
• Store away from loose ink bottles and cleaning liquids
• Separate used gloves from empty cartridges and return stock

Order details that help us match the right pack

When you place an order, it helps to confirm the glove size, pack count and the type of refill work the team handles most often. A studio doing fine colour work may want a lighter glove with good fingertip feel, while a dispatch bench moving bulk empties may prefer a tougher option for repeated handling.

Also note whether the gloves are for office printer cartridges, wide-format ink systems or mixed bench use. That tells us whether the pack should lean toward light, neat handling or broader service work where cartridges, bottles and cleaning tools are all on the same table.

• Hand size: small, medium, large or mixed staff sizing
• Pack count: low-volume bench use or higher-throughput service work
• Work type: cartridge refill, CISS top-up, cleaning or empty sorting
• Preferred feel: light touch or heavier service handling
• Stock use: office, studio, print shop or mixed-site use
