What are HP ink supplies? For each of the four ink colors used in the printer, there are two separate components, the printhead and the ink cartridge. These components are called the HP ink supplies and are coded with a Hewlett-Packard selection number to help you reorder the correct replacement. Your printer uses the following HP ink supplies: • Black ink cartridges are HP No 82 supplies. • Cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges are HP No 82 supplies. They are available in 28 and 69 ml sizes. • All printheads are HP No 11 supplies. Ink cartridges The Hewlett-Packard ink cartridges for your printer require no maintenance or cleaning. As long as each ink cartridge is inserted correctly into its slot, the ink will flow to the printheads. Because the printheads control the amount of ink transferred to the page, you will continue to see high-quality printing results, even when the ink levels are getting low. The front panel notifies you when an ink cartridge's ink level is low. You can also check the ink levels of all the ink cartridges to determine if an ink cartridge needs to be replaced, see Ink cartridge information. If the ink cartridge is empty, the printer stops printing. See Ink cartridge replacement. Printheads The Hewlett-Packard printheads are extremely durable and do not need to be replaced every time an ink cartridge is replaced. They are independent of the ink cartridges and will continue giving excellent print quality results even if the ink cartridges are low in ink. If you notice a decline in print quality such as lines or dots missing from text or graphics, see Stepped lines.

What are HP ink supplies?

For each of the four ink colors used in the printer, there are two separate components, the

printhead

and the

ink cartridge

. These components are called the HP ink supplies and are coded with a Hewlett-Packard selection

number to help you reorder the correct replacement. Your printer uses the following HP ink supplies:

•

Black ink cartridges are HP No 82 supplies.

•

Cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges are HP No 82 supplies. They are available in 28 and 69 ml sizes.

•

All printheads are HP No 11 supplies.

Ink cartridges

The Hewlett-Packard ink cartridges for your printer require no maintenance or cleaning. As long as each ink

cartridge is inserted correctly into its slot, the ink will flow to the printheads. Because the printheads control the

amount of ink transferred to the page, you will continue to see high-quality printing results, even when the ink

levels are getting low.

The front panel notifies you when an ink cartridge’s ink level is low. You can also check the ink levels of all the ink

cartridges to determine if an ink cartridge needs to be replaced, see

Ink cartridge information

If the ink cartridge is empty, the printer stops printing. See

Ink cartridge replacement

Printheads

The Hewlett-Packard printheads are extremely durable and do not need to be replaced every time an ink cartridge

is replaced. They are independent of the ink cartridges and will continue giving excellent print quality results even

if the ink cartridges are low in ink.

If you notice a decline in print quality such as lines or dots missing from text or graphics, see
