Supplies and Features
The HC1 supplies and features are not compatible with the HC2. These include ink, ink reservoir, and printheads. The upgrade installs one HC2 ink reservoir and eight HC2 printheads. Additional reservoirs and printheads are not included in the base upgrade. If additional ink reservoirs and/or printheads are required, these need to be ordered separately.

New ink must be available at the account before the planned installation date.
Custom colors must go through the design process for the new ink.
