Check the estimated ink levels
You can easily check the ink supply level to determine how soon you might need to
replace a cartridge. The ink supply level shows an estimate of the amount of ink remaining
in the cartridges.
NOTE: If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that
has been used in another printer, the ink level indicator might be inaccurate or
unavailable.
NOTE: Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes
only. When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a replacement
cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not have to replace the
cartridges until the print quality is unacceptable.
NOTE: Ink from the cartridges is used in the printing process in a number of different
ways, including in the initialization process, which prepares the product and cartridges
for printing, and in printhead servicing, which keeps print nozzles clear and ink flowing
smoothly. In addition, some residual ink is left in the cartridge after it is used. For more

Chapter 5
Wrong, inaccurate, or bleeding colors
If your printout has one of the following print quality problems, try the solutions in this
section for help.
•
Colors look different than what you expected.
For example, the colors in your graphic or photo look one way on your computer
screen but print out differently, or magenta was replaced with cyan in your printout.
•
Colors run into each other, or look like they are smeared on the page. The edges
might have a feathering appearance instead of being sharp and defined.
Try the following solutions if the colors appear wrong, inaccurate, or bleed into each other.
•

•
Solution 1: Make sure you are using genuine HP ink cartridges
Solution: Check to see if your ink cartridges are genuine HP ink cartridges.
HP recommends that you use genuine HP ink cartridges. Genuine HP ink cartridges
are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce great results,
time after time.
NOTE: HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP supplies. Product
service or repairs required as a result of using a non-HP supply will not be covered
under warranty.
If you believe you purchased genuine HP ink cartridges, go to:
Cause: Non-HP ink cartridges were being used.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 2: Check the paper loaded in the input tray
Solution: Make sure the paper is loaded correctly and that it is not wrinkled or too
thick.
•
•
Load paper with the side you want to print on facing down. For example, if you
are loading glossy photo paper, load the paper with the glossy side down.
Make sure the paper lays flat in the input tray and is not wrinkled. If the paper is
too close to the printhead during printing, the ink might be smeared. This can
happen if the paper is raised, wrinkled, or very thick, such as a mailing envelope.
For more information, see:
38
Solve a problem
Cause: The paper was loaded incorrectly, or it was wrinkled or too thick.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 3: Check the paper type
Solution: HP recommends that you use HP papers or any other paper type that is
appropriate for the product.
Always make sure the paper you are printing on is flat. For best results when printing
images, use HP Advanced Photo Paper.
Store photo media in its original packaging inside a resealable plastic bag on a flat
surface in a cool, dry place. When you are ready to print, remove only the paper you
plan to use immediately. When you have finished printing, return any unused photo
paper to the plastic bag. This will prevent the photo paper from curling.
For more information, see:
•
•
Cause: The wrong kind of paper was loaded in the input tray.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 4: Check the ink levels
Solution: Check the estimated ink levels in the cartridges.
NOTE: Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning
purposes only. When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a
replacement cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need
to replace the cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
Cause: The ink cartridges might have insufficient ink.
If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.
Solution 5: Check the print settings
Solution: Check the print settings.
•
Check the print settings to see if the color settings are incorrect.
For example, check to see if the document is set to print in grayscale. Or, check
to see if advanced color settings such as saturation, brightness, or color tone, are
set to modify the appearance of colors.
•
Check the print quality setting and make sure it matches the type of paper loaded
in the product.
You might need to choose a lower print quality setting, if colors are running into
each other. Or, choose a higher setting if you are printing a high-quality photo,
and then make sure photo paper such as HP Advanced Photo Paper, is loaded
in the input tray.

settings, or ink cartridges. No further troubleshooting is required.
Cause: The print settings were set incorrectly.

cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce great
results, time after time.

For more information, see:
Cause: The product detected that a non-HP print cartridge was installed.
Previously used genuine HP cartridges installed
Solution: Check the print quality of the current print job. If it is satisfactory, follow
the prompts on the computer screen to continue.
Ink levels might not be available for the indicated print cartridges. Ink level warnings
and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. When you receive a low-
ink warning message, consider having a replacement cartridge available to avoid
possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the print cartridges until print
quality becomes unacceptable.
Cause: A genuine HP print cartridge was previously used in another printer.
Original HP ink has been depleted
Solution: Follow the prompts on the computer screen to continue or replace the
indicated print cartridges with genuine HP cartridges.
Ink levels might not be available for the indicated print cartridges. Ink level warnings

Chapter 5
Cause: The original HP ink in the indicated print cartridges was depleted.
Low on ink
Solution: Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes
only. When you receive a low-ink warning message, consider having a replacement
cartridge available to avoid possible printing delays. You do not need to replace the
print cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable.
If you have installed a refilled or remanufactured cartridge, or a cartridge that has
been used in another product, the ink level indicator may be inaccurate or unavailable.
Cause: The indicated print cartridges were estimated to be low on ink and might
need to be replaced soon.
Printing in ink-backup mode
Solution: If you receive the ink-backup mode message and two print cartridges are
installed in the product, verify that the protective piece of plastic tape has been
removed from each print cartridge. When plastic tape covers the print cartridge
contacts, the product cannot detect that the print cartridge is installed.

Copper-colored contacts
Plastic tape with pink pull tab (must be removed before installing)
Ink nozzles under tape
Cause: When the product detected that only one print cartridge is installed, ink-
backup mode is initiated. This printing mode lets you print with a single print cartridge,
but it slows the product and affects the quality of printouts.
Print cartridge is missing, incorrectly installed, or not intended for your product
Solution: If the print cartridges are missing, incorrectly installed, or not intended for
your product, one or both of the print cartridge status lights begin to blink. One of the
following messages may appear on your computer screen:
