HP 8700 - Manual (Page 17)

Inserting print cartridges
The HP Photosmart 8700 series printer can print color and black-and-white photos, as
well as documents. HP provides different types of print cartridges so you can choose
the best cartridges for your project. The HP Photosmart 8700 series supports the
HP Blue Photo print cartridge for color prints with richer blues and better color
transitions.
Note The cartridge numbers you can use with this printer appear on the back
cover of the printed HP Photosmart 8700 series User's Guide. If you have
already used the printer several times, you can find the cartridge numbers in
the HP Photosmart 8700 series Toolbox. Windows users: Right-click the
small printer icon on the far right of the Windows taskbar, and select Open
HP Photosmart 8700 series Toolbox. Click the Estimated Ink Level tab and
then click the Print Cartridge Ordering Information button. Macintosh
users: Click HP Image Zone in the Dock. Choose Maintain Printer from the
Settings pop-up menu. Click Utilities, and then choose Supplies from the
pop-up menu.
For optimum printing results, HP recommends using only HP print cartridges. Inserting
a cartridge that is not in this table may invalidate the printer warranty.
