Should I remove the plastic covering the ink cartridge hole?

No! There is no need to remove this plastic piece unless there is a pull tab attached to it.

Once you've installed the cartridge, the printer will pierce a hole through it, allowing ink to flow through.

Please email support@inkstation.com.au if you would like to confirm what needs to be removed for your cartridge.
