without the lighter, photo dye-load inks used in
six-ink printing. An improved halftoning process enables smooth gradations
and outstanding color accuracy.
In dual-drop-volume printing, the tri-color ink cartridge contains specially formulated full-dye load color inks that
are fired onto the page in two different ink droplet volumes. These ink droplets can be as small as 1.3 picoliters
(pl) and as large as 5 pl. (About 3.8 billion of these 1.3 pl droplets would fit in a teaspoon.) In dual-drop-
volume modes, the all-in-one can fire any combination of small or large ink droplets at a given print position—
small and large droplets together, just small droplets, or just large droplets. The all-in-one determines the
combination of ink droplets to provide the optimum print quality and speed.
Produce fast-drying documents
Produce fast-drying documents that are quickly ready for distribution, using papers with
the ColorLok® logo. HP Officejet Inks for business are specifically developed for use with
the HP printheads. A new black pigmented ink enables fast black printing with improved
handling ability. New dye-based color inks enable quick throughput and provide
extended fade resistance over previous office printer platforms. Unique ink formulations
help extend the life of the printheads and enhance reliability.
Archive documents and photos with confidence
Documents degrade over time. As a document ages and is
exposed to elements like light, heat, moisture, pollution, and
acids in the paper, the chemicals in the ink break down. HP has
designed its HP Officejet Inks to meet legal storage requirements
so that you’ll have the confidence of knowing that all your
archived documents will retain black text and color quality for
decades without fading.

The pigment black inks are extremely
stable and acid-free, and the new dye-based color inks dry
quicker than ever and deliver extended light and air fade.
