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.
