Information on ink cartridges and the printhead
The following tips help maintain HP ink cartridges and ensure consistent print quality.
• The instructions in this user guide are for replacing ink cartridges, and are not
intended for first time installation.
• If you need to replace an ink cartridge, wait until you have the new ink cartridge
available to install before removing the old cartridge.
CAUTION: Wait until you have a new ink cartridge available before removing
the old ink cartridge. Do not leave the ink cartridge outside of the product for an
extended period of time. This can result in damage to both the product and the
ink cartridge.
• Keep all ink cartridges in the original sealed packages until they are needed.
• Store ink cartridges in the same orientation packages hang on store shelves or, if out
of box, with label facing down.
