Use a photo print cartridge
You can optimize the quality of the color photos you print and copy with the HP All-in-
One by purchasing a photo print cartridge. Remove the black print cartridge and insert
the photo print cartridge in its place. With the tri-color print cartridge and photo print
cartridge installed, you have a six-ink system, which provides enhanced quality color
photos.
When you want to print regular text documents, swap the black print cartridge back in.
Use a print cartridge protector or an airtight plastic container to keep your print cartridge
secure when it is not being used.

Use the print cartridge protector
In some countries/regions, when you purchase a photo print cartridge, you might also
receive a print cartridge protector. In other countries/regions, a print cartridge protector
comes in the box with the HP All-in-One. If neither your print cartridge nor the HP All-in-
One came with a print cartridge protector, you can use an airtight plastic container to
protect your print cartridge.
NOTE: If you use a plastic container, make sure the ink nozzles on the print cartridge
do not touch the plastic.
The print cartridge protector is designed to keep a print cartridge secure and prevent it
from drying out when it is not being used. Whenever you remove a print cartridge from
the HP All-in-One with the intention of using it again later, store it in the print cartridge
protector. For example, store the black print cartridge in a print cartridge protector if you
are removing it so you can print high-quality photos with the photo and tri-color print
cartridges.
