 
refilling print cartridges
Do not refill HP print cartridges. Refilling print cartridges causes the electronic 
and mechanical components of the print cartridge to exceed their normal life 
cycle. It also creates many potential problems, such as:
•
Poor print quality.
Non-HP inks can contain elements that clog the
cartridge nozzles and cause inconsistent print quality. Non-HP inks 
can also contain elements that corrode the cartridges’ electrical 
components, resulting in poor printouts.
•
Potential damage.
Ink from a refilled cartridge can leak onto the
electrical components in the printer. This can cause severe printer 
damage, resulting in downtime and repair costs.
Caution!
Damage that results from modifying or refilling HP print
cartridges is specifically excluded from HP printer’s warranty coverage.
To get the best performance from your printer, Hewlett-Packard recommends 
using only genuine factory-filled HP print cartridges.
