• Problem with black ink cartridge HP Deskjet 3520

  I just replaced a (almost) empty black ink cartridge in my HP Deskjet 3520 printer, and now I get no word on paper. The printer prints photos of a text, but not the text. The test page only gives light gray instead of black values.

  I put the cartridge almost empty return, but the results were the same: not a single word of the text has been printed.

  Can you help me with this one?

  Thanks for the reply. I cleaned up the area where the open cartridge area (square round where the ink comes out) ink and leaves the cartridge references in printer from one day to the next. By making these 2 steps, it started fine printing and quality is really good like the other. Thank you!!!

• Printing on Photo paper with black ink cartridge - J6480 - grayscale does not work

  With:, Mac OS 10.6.6 more latest software HP Print/Scan/utilities:

  The color radio button to use the black cartridge is grayed out if you choose to print in grayscale. If the color cartridge is empty, you cannot print in grayscale on photo paper. It allows you to print in grayscale on plain paper.

  In other words, that it is making me use the color cartridge for printing in grayscale on photo paper. It doesn't look good for me.

  Well Yes, that's right.  The ink in the black cartridge is an ink pigment (about particles of carbon suspended in the solution) and cannot be absorbed by the photo paper.  The ink in the color cartridge is dye based (like dye food) and is absorbed by the coating on photo paper.  That is why all the printing with black cartridge is denied when using photo paper.

  Pigmented ink is used in the black cartridge to produce the beautiful crisp text on plain paper.  There are HP printers with cartridges 'Photo Black' which are ink to dye black which can be used on photo paper.  These printers also have a black text in another cartridge which is a pigmented ink.

• Photosmart 7520: Must the Photosmart HP 7520 TWO black ink cartridges (complete and installed) to work?

  Hello

  I read a few threads where people are struggling with the question of black ink with this printer. These threads, it seems clear that HP didn't design this system very well, and I would tend to agree. Even if someone said I could find the cartridge (bowtie) smaller at Staples, I can't find it. Even if I could find it, I don't want to have 2 kinds of ink black to store all the time. And my printer does not print black with only a new XL Black 564 installed. Is there a setting I'm missing in the menu where I can choose the XL cartridge only? The manual is not clear on this, and I think it's something that should be clearly explained.

  My question is simple, and please, one who answers, read my questions and do not provide a generic incomplete response and then put a little check mark 'Resolved' next to this problem. With 3 wires, that I read on this subject, the question NOT yet resolved or fully explained.

  The printer may be used and black printing using only the right XL cartridge or do I need to have both complete and installed black cartridges to work? And a follow-up, the left cartridge (bowtie) should stay there so he works or can I remove it and keep filling the cartridge XL to go forward with the empty to the left slot. If you work for HP and you are reading this and 100% do not know the answer... call someone at HP who has designed this printer and know please let me know.

  Thank you!

  The printer requires all cartridges having ink - they don't need to be full, but they all need to be installed and have adequate ink.  The thick black cartridge is pigmented black, mainly used for text and graphics on paper.  Thinner bowtie is the photo cartridge.  It contains dye black ink based and is designed for printing on photo paper.  Black pigmented ink is not compatible with the glossy photo media, black of the photo will be used in cases where the photo paper is selected in the driver or detected automatically.

  The Photosmart 7520 has separated from the inks and printheads, with plumbing to connect.  All inks must be present to prevent air intake in the plumbing or the print heads and keep the printheads from clogging.  See here for more information on using ink.

• PHOTOSMART HOW MORE: abandoned black ink cartridges

  HP 564 ink which is a black ink double size is no longer available. This printer takes only the size and the printer was not cheap and now I find that I have to buy a new printer because the cartridge is made is no longer. Make sure that I won't buy HP again.

  What is the reference number of the cartridge you bought?  Is it the same size as the color cartridge?  The cartridge Photo (either standard or XL) is the same size as the standard color cartridge, it does not work like a black cartridge.  The document here can help.  Your printer uses four cartridges, as shown in Figure 1, the black cartridge is on the right side and a Pentagon black symboll on the cartridge.  Figure 2 shows a printers using the smaller cartridge of the photo (the one on the left with the symbol of the butterfly).

  Your b209 Photosmart Plus printer DO NOT use the photo cartridge (whatever the size of the color cartridge), you need a Black cartridge.

• Photosmart 7510 - black ink cartridge does not print

  Recently, I replaced the ink cartridges on my Photosmart 7510 C311A. These are all the "genuine HP cartridges ', full.

  Black ink (with the symbol of the Pentagon) does not print, not at all. I ran through the standard troubleshooting steps:

  Cleaning of printheads

  Cleaning of copper contacts

  * Check for a good evacuation

  My colleague in the corridor as the printer even so I borrowed his black ink cartridge and tried: same problem. The printer does not record that there is a problem, but when I run printing tests, where there should be a black ink, there is absolutely none. All other colors print correctly.

  The printer doesn't lack NOT of the printer "align" test however does not offer a suggestion of what to do from there. I've not seen - in test reports - an indiciation of the misalignment.
  
  Suggestions on what to do now?

  I had the same problem. I had replaced the empty cartridge black and suddenly, no ink. Finally, what has worked is
  (1) I removed all the cartridges and cleaned the copper connectors with wet Publix.
  (2) I got a wet paper towel and he pressed repeatedly on the silver circular vent that would be under the black cartridge. I did until no black came. Let it dry.
  (3) I replaced all the cartridges and on the printer. I went to tools/clean the cartridge. I did it a couple of times and he finally printed black ink! I confirmed by going to tools/align, and align the cartridges successfully. He had kept before crashes when the black ink did not work.

• "Black ink cartridge is not compatible with this printer" message - 56 HP deskjet 5552

  I just replaced my HP 56 cartridge in my old printer HP Deskjet 5552 - I use an iMac & when I try to print, I get the message error "black ink cartridge is not compatible with this printer.

  It makes no sense that I replaced the cartridge many times before without ever having a problem.

  I have already returned a cartridge to the store where it was a problem with the cartridge itself, but the same thing happened with a second.

  Any suggestions gratefully received.

  Thanx, Alison

  Hello

  It usually take a few cleanings to operate.

• HP Officejet Pro 8500 has problem with black ink printing

  I have an Officejet Pro 8500 a printer. When I print documents, it will not print anything in black ink. The colors work very well, but just black will not print. The printer says that the black ink cartridge has plenty of ink, and when I shake it, I can say that there is something in there. So, I don't think it's a question of black ink out. Is there a chance that something is blocking the ink out? Any patches for this in addition to the purchase of a new ink cartridge?

  Document here can help solve the black is not printing on your HP Officejet Pro 8500 has.

• Problem with black ink

  Hello there, I have a HP C6380 printer. I ran out of black ink small 564. I have a larger 564 black ink there how can I get the printer to use the largest cartiage of ink instead of replace ink 564 more small.

  Thank you

  Scott

  @yellowlabscott, Yes, you can use the cartridge of 564 more GRAND. It should be inserted directly into the slot and read it.

  Are you have problems with the larger cartridge is not suitable?

  New XL cartridges are made more small these days, but they are still considered as the largest and more ink. So it still needs work.

  @alexisgb, you may need to clean the black cartridge. Try to clean the print head and check the results.

  You also have the Photosmart C6380?

• HP Photosmart more B210A: black ink cartridge will not print.

  The black ink will print on my printer.  I installed new ink and cleaned the print heads.  I did a review of the printer and the ink of color appeared only.  The printer is recognizing the cartridge when I check the ink levels.  The first page after cleaning came out very faint then anything.  At first, I thought that the new black ink cartridge was defective.  So I replaced it with another new - no difference.

  The only change is that I have installed all new cartridges when all printing has become very low.

  Help, please.  Thank you.

  Fushing did not work, however, we used a demo on Utube and has not used the distlled water.  That could be the problem. The printer is about 8 years old, we decided to get a new one.  Thank you very much for your help.

• HP Deskjet 1000 J110: Intense black print with the black ink cartridge only

  Hello

  I am trying to print the darkest possible black, but simply by using the black ink cartridge. How do I get there?

  My printer is HP deskjet 1000 J110 using cartridge HP 301.

  I do my drawing in Adobe Illustrator and set the color to be CMYK 100 100 100 100.

  If I insert only the black cartridge, the printer will leave empty place where color CMY ink should be or it will fill the space with black ink?

  Basically, what I'm trying to do is to increase the density of ink to the highest possible but only using only the black cartridge.

  Thank you.

  Welcome @didididot,

  Thanks to their participation in Forums of HP! I see by your post that you would like to be able to print in the black as dark as possible. I can help you.

  You can use the mode single-cartridge:

  Use single-cartridge in the HP printer with a single cartridge. Mode single-cartridge begins when an ink cartridge is removed from the distribution of the print cartridge. In the mode single-cartridge, the product can only printing from the computer.

• Photosmart 6520: HP Photosmart 6520 does not black ink print

  I ran through the steps on the troubleshooting http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03954004 page and it did not work. I know similar questions have been asked and have "answered", but I have found no solution that worked for me. The printer was working fine earlier this week, and all of a sudden, it would not print black ink. I went out and bought a new black ink cartridge and that does not work either. It was the same problem that led me to replace my HP Officejet 6500 I loved tenderly. I need an all-in-one for my work, but I can't afford to buy a new after spending the money on this one. The warranty just ran out last month and I need help to solve this problem, because I'm not buying a new HP if it is a problem that all have the all-in-one. Other family memebers suggest Epson printers, but I love HP and wants to stick to what I know.

  Please help me.

  You mean by 'options', to have bought an upgrade right? Because I just got the phone with them and they me nothing that HP will make becaue it's out of warranty. So, build a defective product to force the new buy, is that correct?
