Save on ink by choosing the right printer

When choosing a printer, consider whether you plan to be a frequent photo printer or whether your focus is documents with occasional color printing.

Considering how you plan to print before choosing an HP printer will give you the most value.

Prioritize
For some, color printing is the main priority when choosing a printer. Others need a wide gamut of colors and deep blacks to produce lab-quality photos. Then, there are those who only need to print in color occasionally. HP offers printers with ink cartridges that accommodate all of these needs.

HP 60 Tri-color print cartridges are compatible with a variety of HP Printers.

Occasional color printing
If you’re someone who prints in color only occasionally but expects vibrant, reliable results when you do, consider an HP printer that uses tri-color ink cartridges for the ultimate in color convenience.

The HP Envy 110 e-All-in-One and HP Deskjet printers and All-in-Ones accept Original HP Tri-color ink cartridges, and are perfect for everyday document printing with splashes of color and occasional photos.

Balanced color printing
If, in your experience, you’ve found that you print all colors more or less equally (often running out of colors simultaneously), the convenience of tri-color printing can also be a great value for you.

Take supplies on the go
HP also offers tri-color ink cartridges for printers that are meant to be portable. A tri-color cartridge, featuring all the ink you’ll need, is just as convenient to take on the road as portable printers themselves.

HP Officejet Pro e-All-in-Ones are meant to accommodate high-volume color printing and offer up to 50% lower cost per color page than laser printers when using Original HP ink cartridges.²

Save up to 40% on your printing with Original HP XL Ink cartridges.¹

For those who print a lot of color, (especially one individual color) individual color ink cartridges can save money by letting you replace just the color you need.

Four-color printing
Many printers use 4 separate color cartridges: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. This includes HP Officejet printers and All-in-Ones (compatible with HP 920 Officejet Ink) and HP Officejet Pro e-All-in-Ones (compatible with HP 950/951 Officejet Ink).

Five-color printing
Some HP Photosmart e-All-in-Ones, like the HP Photosmart 7520 e-All-in-One, offer 5-color printing with an HP Photo Ink cartridge, to give your photos deep, glossy blacks.

Many HP printer models offer multiple ways to save on ink. For example, you can save up to 40% on your printing with Original HP XL Ink cartridges.¹

Purchasing an HP 60 Combo Value Pack offers both savings and convenience.

The HP 564 Series Photo Value Pack offers ink and paper in conveniently measured proportions.

Once you’ve chosen an HP printer that is right for your printing needs, there are additional opportunities to save on ink:

Twin packs
Twin packs, such as the HP 02 Black Ink Twin Pack, bundle two packages of the same type of ink and offer a 10% savings over ordering two identical cartridges separately!

Combo packs
Delivering even greater convenience, combo packs bundle all the inks that a single printer needs.

For example, an HP 60 Combo Value Pack delivers both the HP 60 Black and HP 60 Tri-color ink cartridges in a single package, helping you save on ink by eliminating the need to purchase each cartridge separately.

Photo value packs
Photo value packs offer the ultimate in convenience, packaging the right measure of photo paper and photo printing ink in a single package.

The HP 564 Series Photo Value Pack, for example, includes 150 sheets of 4" x 6" Advanced Photo Paper along with the ink to affordably print 150 lab-quality photos at home using any HP Photosmart printer that accepts HP 564 series ink cartridges.
