Choose the right print cartridges

HP recommends that you use original HP print cartridges. Original HP cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily produce great results, time after time. Wherever you purchase printing supplies, check to see which of the following options are available for your printer.

NOTE: Standard and value choices use the same cartridge selection numbers. For more information, see Selection numbers.

Choose original HP cartridges for how you print

Standard for everyday printing: You occasionally print directions, documents, and even a photo now and then, but you still expect high quality and reliable printing. Our standard cartridges give you the right value at the right price for your everyday printing needs. Look for the blue package.

Value for frequent printing: You print a lot—from e-mails and school reports to family photos and holiday greetings. Buy more, save more with HP's value offerings. Look for the green package.

Specialty for performance printing: Enhance your specialty communications with metallic ink---accent text, graphics, cards, announcements, reports, and even photos with a reflective finish. Make your projects truly shine, using metallic ink. Look for the red package.
