• photo black ink being exhausted when I'm not printing photos?

  Why the picture of black ink serves upward when I'm not printing photos? I usually only print text... is there a setting I'm missing?

  Hello

  First inks printer needs just to warm up so even print anything the printer still consumes inks. In your case, you must set the printer to print in black only, not in grayscale. Not all printers allow it, what is your printer?

• HP7520 printer using the photo cartridge during the printing of the documents not General and black print cartridge

  My 7520 printer uses the photo and not the General black cartridge when printing on plain paper documents. The black general still full but my photo cartridge runs out of ink.

  Hi shay!

  My apologies, I didn't know that your prints come out in blue print when you have a totally black cartridge. It is a problem of print quality with the printer or something in the settings of your computer.

  I suggest to try the steps in the guide below. You have already tried some troubleshooting, try so the steps that you have not yet tried, I understand:

  The streaks of ink fixing, faded prints and other common print quality problems

  If you're still only able to print in blue (no black print), so I recommend you call HP to let them know. As you mentioned you have only had the camera for 3 months, it is likely under warranty and you might need a spare part or unit.

  Here are the details of HP:

  If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

  I hope this problem is solved for you, have a wonderful Wednesday

• Photo on the 5510 black print cartridge

  I just bought a Photosmart HP 5510 e-all-in-One Printer (B111a).  It doesn't have a crack 'black photo.  Quality of the printed photo will improve if I change the black cartridge for a photo before printing photos black?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I'm afraid that you can't use the photo cartridge instead of the black print on your printer cartridge. See label install the cartridges or the symbols on the door of the printer when you insert the cartridges. The symbols must match those on the cartridges.

  If you hurt, I guess you get an error of ink.

• Photosmart Premium c309a black print green on photo paper / CDs

  Got a Photosmart Premium c309a.  Bought in early 2009.  When I print on normal paper, photos prints fine, but when I print on paper photo, all black prints with a green tint.  This is regardless whether if I said that I'm printing on photo paper or not. When I print to CDs, black print blue.

  I have correctly printed on two media before but recently had this problem.  Colors are progressively worsened recently before arriving at this point.

  I use Windows 7.  Updated the drivers and software but still no joy.  Latest version of the downloaded driver / software for my Mac but the same for photos and the CD.

  I did about 5 cleans through the Toolbox print head and replaced HP black ink cartridges (both black and Photo black).  Currently have more than half full for each black cartridge.  Other colors are not empty but either.   Also tried the print head with water for rinsing after its withdrawal.

  I did a diagnostics page.  The black bar Photo is not printed at all.  However, further down on the page, the photo black ink level indicator prints OK (assuming that really aid black photo).

  Everything prints fine so I can print documents and images as long as it isn't on paper photo or CD.  I bought the printer mainly for CD printing features.

  Is - this weird color problem with the printhead fault?  Could replace solve this (someone tried?)?  A replacement would put me back £26 so I wanted to ask first.

  Thank you.

  I suggest you soak the printhead, as described in the post here.

• The printer refuses to mix 2 cartridges to print photo (color + black)

  Hello.

  I have printer HP Officejet 4500 Wireless.

  It works fine, but at the last moment, there is a problem.

  When I want to print a photo to the printer refuses to mix cartridges (black + color) in the field of photography.

  For example if I want to print a photo.

  I can print it as a black and white using the black cartridge (by action) OR I can print with the color cartridge only.

  When I print color photo black colors ARE NOT black... It is a mixture of colours (red + blue + yellow)...

  The printer refuses to use 2 cartridges at the same time on the same area... Why?

  When I print a document with images, it prints the text in black, the color of the text, but in the field of photography, he refuses to add the color black... It simulate the black by mixing of the colors(Red+Blue+Yellow)... Why?

  It is only in the AREA that this printer has to use 2 cartridges at the same time in the same place...

  I have 2 cartridges, one black and the other is colored (red, blue, yellow).

  I recharge them and everything is fine... I have printed a lot of pictures...

  The printer considers a HALF FILLED and printed all that I need very good, expect pictures...

  THE PROBLEM APPEARED A WEEK AGO... NOTHING HAS CHANGED...

  I USED TO PRINT PHOTOS AND HE DIDN'T FAKE THE BLACK COLOR...

  That's the problem for me... Because all the photos I print is delivered with a ridiculous BLACK color...

  PS - I understand electronic and parameters. I tried to change the settings of the printer and I tried to change the settings on the computer to change the color settings. I tried to use Photoshop with PRO settings for color printing.

  SOLVED!

  I changed the settings of paper to Matte 'Photo' (although the photo paper is any MAST)

  But now the printer uses a 2 cartridge.

• black print

  I can't use my hp photosmart printer to print photos.  Color ink is expensive and doesn't last long at all.  I would like nevertheless to use for word processing, but to do so, it seems that the color cartridges must be in place and they must have ink inside.  If this is the case, I lose money just on colored ink.  I don't know why he wouldn't use only the black cartridge when I use only black.

  Photosmart 6520 has a permanent printhead as described in the third type of above printing heads.  It will take the ink in all colors to not to damage the non-replaceable printhead.

  That said, there are a few things to consider to minimize useless ink consumption:

  • Always keep the connected printer directly into a live outlet.  If an external passes as an output switch is used the printer will use more ink in black and all colors at startup.
  • Do not run cleaning cycles from the Toolbox Panel or computer except if needed (rarely).  Run cleaning cycles other than those performed automatically by using the printer more than ink and shorten the life of the cartridges.
  • If you are printing in black only but include select chart "Print in grayscale" and "black ink only.  Otherwise the color inks can be used for the printing of chart areas.  The color ink droplets are much smaller than the black ink droplets.  To give the best color quality printing, inks are used even when printing in grayscale graphics.  By selecting "Black ink only" allows you to avoid this.  Note that little color ink will always be used to prevent the clogging of the nozzles.
  • For everyday text to print using draft quality can give a proper print quality while using only half the ink modes Normal or best.

• Not totally black print on P1102W

  I need to print black images on transparent sheets to use with uv lighting a box to make printed circuit boards.

  This photo is an example where the lower part of the image is not completely black. It does not matter in what place I print this image. High, Center, down, left, or right. The result for this image still has this bottom where there are greyish pieces.

  When I rotate the image 180 degrees is also this same effect, but the other party now has this problem. My current solution is to print 2 copies on the same sheet transparant where an image is 180 degrees of rotation. Then arrange them on top of the other.

  I used the utility of cleaning integrated P1102W several times on the leaves of transparant and normal paper.

  What can I do else?

  Thank you

  Hi @gussmith ,

  I see that you are having problems with the black print is not properly on the page of full transparency. I want to help you solve this problem.

  You have the same problem when printing on regular paper?

  Trying to figure out if it's the toner or the fuser unit causing this problem.

  Remove the toner and gently swing the toner back five times to redistribute the toner.

  Make sure the paper type is selected in the printer driver.

  I have a document with a few steps to try to see if this will solve the problem.

  Troubleshooting print quality problems.

  You use Genuine HP Toner?

  What is the level of toner?

  What operating system do you use? Mac OS X: how to find which Mac OS X Version is on my computer?

  Do you have which driver installed? (Apple, HP website updates)

  Please provide detailed results if you're still having problems.

  Have a great day!
  Thank you.

• HP Envy 4500 series: print 'Photo printing without borders' and 'best quality '.

  Problem: It only prints in the borderless Photo printing option.

  Text in black it prints appears in gray.

  It prints only in quality adjustment 'Best '.

  The test (after cleaning the print head) page shows the 6 colored rectangles but no black text.

  I cleaned the print head, uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of the software.

  The cartridges are NOT original HP cartridges.

  Of course, color works fine.

  I replaced the black cartridge with a new one, twice.

  I can buy a new printer for the price of these replacement cartridges.

  Should I worry about trying to fix this problem or should I throw it out the window?

  In the here document troubleshooting steps can help solve the black print is not on your printer 4500 desires.  Note that when printing in paper mode Photo black cartrdige is not used because the black pigmented ink is not compatible with photo paper.  If the photo paper is selected the pritner will use color ink to print in black.

  My guess would be that you have a black cartridge faulty, not unusual for third party cartridges *.  You can try to mop up the printhead on a damp cloth.  A good cartridge would have a strong black ink spot.  You may be able to recover the cartridge by soaking the print head in warm water, nozzles down to the 1 "of water for about ten minutes.  After soaking, dry the electrical contacts and reinsert into the printer.

• e-All-In-One series C410: HP Photosmart - black print cartridge produces only "ghost image".

  The black print cartridge produces a ghost image.  I installed a new cartridge with the same results.  The photo and 3 color cartridges cartridge are all ok.  I also introduced "clean printhead" and ran a "print quality report", where black could not appear in the report.

  Dragon fur, I rechecked possible solutions in your response, and after a new test of everything that I had already done, I noticed an alignment test.  That was the problem.  I tried to clean the print heads, as a last resort, on my 4 year old printer.  Solution: I bought a new printer.

  Thank you for your wonderfully detailed answer.

• HP Envy 4500: Cannot print Photos and large documents on my HP Envy 4500 all-in-one printer

  Hello

  I bought my Hp Envy 4500 all in November last one. It worked like a charm for the first 2 months. I tried to print photo 4 x 6 a day. 2 first impressions were good, and the third image has begun to fade from the half. Documents not threatened by more than a few pages. I tried to uninstall/re-install, printing via USB, set static IP address on the print and followed by other solutions on this forum. I was lazy to lift a question myself on this forum. Now, I'm totally frustrated and disappointed by this product, I wanted to just try my luck.

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Hey @Kvelrajan,

  Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.

  I understand your ENVY 4500 HP e-all-in-one printer is not printing documents to the end and there is a print quality problem when you print photos.  I would like to help.

  I have some suggestions that can solve these problems.

  First, I recommend that you only perform a "hard reset":

  1. press the Power button to turn off the printer.
  2. unplug the power cord at the back of the printer.
  3. wait 60 seconds.
  4 reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer.
  5. press the power button to turn on the printer.

• How can I get my printer to print photos on photo paper high gloss?

  HP Photosmart C309n all-in-one - Windows XP no matter what setting of selected paper, print photos on photo paper high gloss with too much ink - like printing on plain paper or matte photo paper.

  When I tried E * n photo paper in the main tray, the result was recognizable, but all shades of green. I replaced the two blacks and the result was just, but with a pink hue. I replaced all the colors - lead better, but dark and a little too dark in some areas. Even with HP Advanced Glossy and E * n Premium High Gloss.
