For print cartridge ink capacity, see the information included in the

For great performance from your HP printer, use only genuine, factory-filled HP print
cartridges.
Caution! Damage that is directly attributable to modified or refilled
HP print cartridges is specifically excluded from the HP printer's
warranty coverage.
maintaining print cartridges
The following tips will help maintain HP print cartridges and ensure consistent print
quality:
● Keep all print cartridges in their sealed packages until they are needed. Print
cartridges should be stored at room temperatures (15-35 degrees C or 59-95
degrees F).
● Do not remove the plastic tape covering the ink nozzles until you are ready to
install the print cartridge in the printer. If the plastic tape has been removed
from the print cartridge, do not attempt to reattach it. Reattaching the tape
damages the print cartridge.
storing print cartridges
When print cartridges are removed from the printer, store them in a print cartridge
protector or an airtight plastic container.
A print cartridge protector comes with the photo print cartridge. If you store the print
cartridge in an airtight plastic container, make sure that the ink nozzles face down
but are not in contact with the container.
inserting the print cartridge into the print cartridge protector
Slide the print cartridge at a slight angle into the protector, and snap it securely in
place.
removing the print cartridge from the print cartridge protector
Press down and back on the top of the protector to release the cartridge. Slide the
cartridge out of the protector.
Caution! Do not drop the print cartridge. Dropping the print cartridge
may damage it.
print cartridge recovery
Customers interested in recycling their genuine HP print cartridges can participate in
HP's empty print cartridge return and recycle program. HP offers this program in
more countries/regions than any other print cartridge manufacturer in the world. This
program is provided as a free service to HP customers as an environmentally sound
solution for these products at end-of-life. It is not available in all countries/regions.
To participate, simply request postage-paid return envelopes or bulk boxes via the
Web at .www.hp.com/recycle
Because HP's unique recycling processes are very sensitive to material
contamination, we cannot take back and recycle cartridges from other manufacturers.
The end products of the recycling process are used in the manufacture of new
products, and HP must ensure the composition of the material is consistent. To do
that, we recycle only HP original cartridges. This program does not extend to refilled
cartridges.
Returned cartridges are separated for purification into raw materials for use in other
industries to manufacture new products. Examples of products made from recycled
HP print cartridge materials include automobile parts, trays used in microchip
fabrication processes, copper wire, steel plates, and the precious materials used in
electronics. Depending on the model, HP is able to recycle up to 65% of the print
cartridge by weight. The remaining parts that cannot be recycled (ink, foam, and
composite parts) are disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.

the image's file. The HP Deskjet printer software then uses this information to
automatically perform image specific enhancements, resulting in outstanding
photographs.
Printing Exif Print-enhanced photos requires:
