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.
