CMYK ink

If you print a lot of color photos, CMYK ink cartridges can help save you money.

Some HP photo printers use HP Photo ink, which enhances color photos and adds dramatic tone and texture to black-and-white photos.
For those who print a lot of color photos and documents—especially one individual color—CMYK ink cartridges can save you money by letting you replace just the color that’s low.
Original HP CMYK inks are individual cartridges used in four-color print processing. CMYK stands for: Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y), and Black (K). These inks provide the blue, red, and gold tones in your photos and color graphics. CMYK cartridges are designed for use in printers with four or five cartridge slots.
Some photo printers, like the HP Photosmart 7510 e-All-in-One, use a fifth ink cartridge—HP Photo ink—which enhances color photos and adds dramatic tone and texture to black-and-white photos.

Tip: To determine the number of ink cartridge slots your printer has, refer to your user manual. Don’t have your manual? Open the printer’s cartridge access door and wait for the carriage to move to the center. You’ll easily be able to count how many ink cartridges it carries.
Tri-color ink
If you print in color only occasionally, consider an HP printer that uses Tri-color ink cartridges.
If you print in color only occasionally, but expect vibrant, reliable results when you do, consider an HP printer that uses Tri-color ink cartridges for the ultimate in color convenience.

Tri-color cartridges are designed for use in printers with two cartridge slots, and are not interchangeable with any CMYK ink cartridges.
