Installing Ink Cartridges

Supported Ink Cartridges

HP standard ink cartridges are supported. The Color Ink is cartridge HP 78, both Large (38 ml) and regular (19 ml) sizes. The HP part number for the 78 Large is C6578a. The HP part number for the 78 regular is C6578d. The black ink that comes with the system is HP part number C8842A, Versatile Black Ink. This is a fast drying black ink, designed for coated surfaces, like an inkjet printable CD or DVD.

Standard black ink cartridges, are also supported, but can take longer to dry. The HP 45 black ink cartridge is used. The HP part number is 51645A. It is recommended to run in Photo mode only when using the standard black ink cartridge. Running a standard black at Normal or fast Normal can cause the text to not print evenly.

*Refill kits or non-HP ink cartridges are not recommended for use in the PrintFactory system. Use of these types of cartridges may produce inferior print quality and in extreme cases cause damage to the printer. Use of these types of cartridges will void the warranty.

Changing these settings is done in the Printer Preferences, described in Chapter 5.

Loading / Replacing Ink Cartridges

The Print Factory system ships with standard HP ink cartridges. The black ink cartridge is specifically designed for fast drying applications. We highly recommend using the C8842A black cartridge for printing on CD or DVD discs. The HP 51645A black cartridge is supported with the printer, but should only be used in PHOTO mode. It can take longer for the black ink to dry when using the HP 45 cartridge.
