HP offers various types and sizes of ink cartridges for different printer models. The following information will help you choose the best combination of cartridges for the way you print.

Two-cartridge printers:
Combine a black and a tri-colour cartridge to produce quality text and multi-colour documents and colour photos. Some printers are compatible with additional cartridges to allow faster, high-volume printing. Check your printer’s compatibility information for details. One or more optional photo cartridges may be available, depending on your printer model. Use the photo cartridge with a tri-colour cartridge for best-quality colour photos and graphics, and sepia or antique photos. Choose a grey photo cartridge to print black and white photos with truer greys and richer blacks.

Three-cartridge printers:
Several options and combinations are available for printers that hold three cartridges at one time, depending on compatibility with your printer model. Combine the black, tri-colour, and photo cartridges to print text, graphics and photos. Combine a photo and grey photo with the tri-colour cartridge for professional-quality photo printing. Combine the blue photo cartridge with tri-color and grey photo cartridges to add a rich blue colour palette to studio-quality landscape and seascape photos.

One-cartridge printers:
For photo printers that use only one cartridge, install the appropriate size tri-colour cartridge, or use a photo grey cartridge for better black and white photos.

Printers using separate cartridges for each colour:
If your printer uses an individual ink cartridge for each colour, you must install all cartridges for the printer to operate. A variety of sizes may be available for your printer. Check your printer’s compatibility information for details.

HP VIVERA INKS
Incredibly complex to us, incredibly simple for you. HP Vivera Inks are optimised to work flawlessly with select HP printers and HP Premium Plus "photo" paper to deliver magical prints, every time.

It's all in the ingredients
At a molecular level, the dyes in Vivera Inks are built to withstand the negative effects of light and pollutants, so they stay vivid for generations. Uniquely, Vivera's dyes do not compromise between rich colour and fade resistance

Nothing else like it
HP's ink chemists typically design up to 1,000 prototypes. All are subjected to hundreds of tests to see how the ink interacts with the cartridge, printer and paper. More than 80 tests may be conducted on the print attributes of the ink and paper alone, to ensure the best possible results.

Purer than pure
The slightest ink impurity can reduce image quality and clog print-heads. Which is why HP Vivera Inks are exhaustively tested, ensuring they are free of harmful contaminants.

Developed from the ground up
Unlike other ink manufacturers that simply dilute dark inks to make "light" inks, HP Vivera low-colorant inks are designed specifically to ensure photo-quality images that capture the true-to-life colours.

Show your true colours
A nine-ink printing system, including HP Vivera gray photo inks, creates up to 72.9 million color combinations, offering exceptionally radiant color, enhanced shadow detail and reduced image grain for stunning, realistic photo prints that resist fading for generations.

ENVIRONMENTAL Millions of ink and toner cartridges are simply thrown away every year, ending up in landfill sites across the world. The plastics and metals they contain take thousands of years to decompose. Recycling helps prevent this. Re-using what would normally be thrown away has dramatic effects. It not only protects our environment, recycling slows mans consumption of the earths already depleted resources.

MORE INK. LESS WASTE Our recycling process ensures that each cartridge we are able to re-use is full to the maximum with high quality printer ink. Due to the technique used we are, in many cases able to offer extra ink within the recycled cartridge when compared to the original cartridge initially manufactured! Benefitting you and the environment twice over! As the cartridge is not only recycled but contains extra ink, therefore lasting longer.

RECYCLING INKJET CARTRIDGES Virtually all of Jet Tec's remanufactured cartridges are produced using cartridges collected by The Recycling Factory. The cartridges are checked at the incoming inspection point to verify that they function correctly. We then clean the cartridges thoroughly to remove all the residual ink and clean the printhead. Once this is complete, the cartridges are refilled, 100% tested and taped ready for packaging. Due to Jet Tec's unique remanufacturing processes, over 90% of all cartridges collected for recycling are successfully remanufactured and sold to be used again.

RECYCLABLE PACKAGING Jet Tec are fully committed to reducing landfill with an overall objective of 0% landfill. The new blister pack, which has been significantly reduced in size when compared to previous packaging will replace the current carton packaging. Not only is the blisterpack now made from recyclable materials, the cartridges are, if possible also made from recycled materials.

Are you ready to make the move to truly colour rich printing? Lexmark’s range of printers, cartridges and paper take print quality to a whole new level. Lexmark ink and paper have been specifically developed to work with Lexmark printers to produce crisp black text and long lasting vibrant colour documents and photos. By using our printer, inks and paper, your photos can last up to 200 years! Choose Lexmark for improved quality and durability versus traditional print methods. All Lexmark inkjet cartridges have the actual print head, there where the core inkjet technology lies, integrated to the cartridge bottle. The main advantage to having the print head as an integrated part to the cartridge is that Lexmark customers get a new print head with each cartridge replacement! This is each time like getting a brand new printer all over again! No risk of deterioration of the print head (and therefore a decrease in quality) during the life of the printer as can be the case with other manufacturers who integrate the print head as a fixed part inside the printer itself. Lexmark was the first manufacturer to introduce 1200x1200 dpi print heads. 1200x1200 dots per inch is the ability that Lexmark print heads have to place individual droplets of ink accurately on a 1200x1200 matrix per square inch of paper. Extreme precision and high resolution lead to the first class print quality provided by Lexmark printheads. With the introduction of the Z52 Color Jetprinter with its High Resolution Standard Yield Color Print Cartridge, that can achieve a resolution of 2400x1200 dpi, Lexmark provides the ultimate in high resolution printing today! Lexmark uses pigment-based inks for the development of all their black inks. The reason for this is simple as pigmented inks are extremely resistant to fading over time, waterproof and even infra-red readable! The Lexmark pigmented black ink ensures maximum performance in black text print quality. The result is incredibly sharp, crisp, laser-quality images and text, even on plain paper! For all the colour inks Lexmark chooses to use dye-based inks because of their unique ability to create richer and brighter colours, a wider colour ink spectrum and light fastness. Lexmark has increased the percentage of dye in its latest generation of inks by 30%. This increase in the amount of dye creates brighter, richer colours that dramatically enhance the quality of prints. All Lexmark printer drivers offer a choice of printing modes based on the quality required and the time available to customers. The Quick Print mode (600x300 dpi) uses less than 50% of the ink quantity used in higher printing modes and provides a maximum print speed while still ensuring a more than acceptable quality. The Quick Print mode enables you to use the ink in an economical and efficient way based on your specific needs!
