Is the ink in the HP cartridges dye-based or pigmented?

I will be printing on fabric and need to know if the ink is dye-based or pigmented. I've been told to use pigmented ink.

Hello,I'm wondering about the HP 26, for the DesignJet 600. The site lists it as dye-based, but it's pretty water resistant, and the MSDS says it contains carbon black. I would love to use a pigmented ink, but have heard conflicting things about this damaging the machine. Thank you so much for providing your expertise!Melissa The HP 26 cartridge is pigment based, at least if you get a genuine HP one. Third party products might use dye based ink.

Hi @JayriAvieock,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are wondering if the ink in the HP cartridges dye-based or pigmented. I am happy to answer this for you!
Please take a look at this post, Re: Dye or pigment based black and colors HP 950 and HP 951 for HP Officejet Pro 8600 eaio, by @chantrz.
The HP 62 used pigmented-black ink and dye-based color, HP 62 Black/Tri-color Original Ink Cartridge Content Value Pack.
Please take a look through this guide, Can I Refill The Ink In My HP Ink Cartridge? If you plan to refill your ink cartridges. You can refill if you want to, but it is not recommended or supported by HP.
Hope this answers your question, and thank you for posting!

You posted in the OS 9 & below forum. What OS X version are you using? What model Canon printer? Canon printers have a test print capability (open the Printer Utility). What happens when you do a test print? Are all the printer cartridges in their proper location? Sometimes when you print "black", the printer uses a mixture of the colors to get "black". In the Printer Utility, check the levels of the other cartridges. There may be one color that is clogged.

HT4356 why does the printer says missing ink cartridges when i put the ink in the right place?

could anyone help？

That's something you really should take up with the technical support resources of the manufacturer of the printer. There's no way anyone here could guess without details, and it's definitely not an iPad issue.

How do i find out the status of the ink in the HP 5510 machine?

Please can you advise how i find out what the status of the ink is in the "HP 5510" machine?

Hi,
Please use this:
From the Printer Home screen, touch the right directional key, and then touch the Ink icon to display the estimated ink
levels.
Regards,
Note: The ink icon is similar to a drp\op of water.

Hp 564 dye based or pigment

Hi,
I have a Hp printer that uses 564 cartridges. Are these dyed based or pigment? I'm looking for a dye based printer to use for printing on washable fabrics. If the 564 are not dye based, can you recommend a printer that does use dye based ink. The use is for a small craft business so I'm looking for something fairly inexpensive (under 1000.00).
Thanks!
Lex

The difference between 'Pigment Based' and 'Dye Based' color inks?

What is the difference between 'Pigment Based' color inks (as used in the HP OfficeJet 8500 series) and 'Dye Based' color inks (as used in the HP OfficeJet 7500 printer)?
Thanks;
Mark S

Pigment based inks have small color particles suspended in a carrier (like paint). Dye based inks have colorant disolved in the carrier (like water colors). Pigment based inks generally have better lightfastness, dye based inks are generally better for photo quality on glossy media. The following Google search has many pages with useful information.

HP 5440 Pryamid of black ink under the HP92 black cartridge

I am getting a black cartridge error and the resume button/light flashing.
I took the black cartridge out and tried a test print from the computer and the paper feeds in and out fine but no ink is on the paper. I will be getting a new HP 93 color cartridge shortly but how do I clean up the black ink mess before I use a new black cartridge?

The ink in the service station area is normal. It is not necessary or desireable to clean this area - attempting to clean it may cause problems.
It sounds like there are a few issues. For the black cartridge rejection issue cleaning the carriage and printer contacts as shown in solution two, figure 33 of the document here may help resolve the issue.
Is color not printing because it is empty? If not the troubleshooting steps in the document here may help resolve the issue.

Does The Ink Of DeskJet Printer Gets Dried If Not Used For A Week?

Hello Guys, I have recently bought a HP DeskJet 1510 All In One Printer. But the Shopkeeper said me that the Ink of the DeskJet printer gets Dried up if not used once for a week or two. Is that true? If yes is there a way to get back my ink?
I have seen some Diagnostic Option in HP Printer Assistant is that the option?
Please help me. Thank You...........

Hi HP990
I'd have to agree with Charles. Powering down at the On/Off switch is always recommended as it will ensure the cartridges get capped properly.
The DJ 1510 uses IPH (integrated printheads). They won't 'dry out' if not used for a week. If you happen to run into any print quality issues you can always run a Cartridge Clean using the automated tool, see the link below for details...

How do I tak out the ink cartridge on HP Officejet Pro 8600?

Need to remove my ink cartridge to buy a set backup. How do you remove the old cartridge?

The HP Office Pro 8600 series consists of 3 model variations. I have the Plus version. All functions similiar.
With the power 'ON', grip the side of the front panel (left handed) just below the HP logo. The entire panel will swing down. The ink cartridge bay will move from the right to the left. Push on the cartridge, and it will pop-out.
Manual, see pg 13 and 92. WARNING per HP: Never turn off the printer when ink cartridges are missing.

Remove the ink cartridge & reinstall it then press ok - Doesn't Work. Please Help !

HP Envy 5660 Wireless All-In-One
My black & color ink ran out and I changed them both. The color ink cartridge is fine but when I changed the black cartridge I get a message telling me to remove it and reinstall the black ink cartridge then press ok. I tried this several times. When it did not work after 4 tries, I decided to try another black cartridge. Again I got this message. I tried with 3 brand new black cartridges with no luck.
I then decided to turn off the power to the printer and unplug the printer. Wait a few minutes then plug it in again and power up. Like a re-boot. This did not help. I then tried cleaning the area where the cartridge goes in but this did not help either. I did not bother trying to clean the cartridges (3) themselves as they were all brand new, just out of the box.
The only way I can use this printer right now was to remove the black cartridge all together and only use the color ink.
I have only had this computer for 3 months so if anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hi @TracieDawn,
I see that despite your best efforts so far, you can currently only use the printer when you remove the black cartridge and printer with the color ink. I suggest using the following document to troubleshooting the issue, and calling us if the issue persists; HP ENVY 5640, 5660, 7640 and Officejet 5740, 8040 e-All-in-One Printer Series - A 'Cartridges Missin....
If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
HP printers generally have a 1 year warranty from their purchase date, you can verify the warranty using the following link if you would like; warranty check.

I received a low ink warning on my mac for my epson artisan 837 printer. I replaced the cartridge that was low but it still reads low ink on the mac but reads full on the epson control panel. I am also receiving a communication error between the mac

What exactly is the error?
And, we'd need some info re. your Mac model and OS version - you are not running iOS on it.
You need to realize that this model has been discontinued and the last driver updates are dated about a year ago. If you are running Mavericks, there may not be an updated driver for it. But you can try to delete the printer and add it again to see if that will work.

Why does the ink dry out so quickly in the 564 cartridges?

I have a 7510 all in one. I just replaced the ink about a month ago. I pinted less than a dozen 4 x 6 pictures. I didn't print again till today - approximately a month. The ink is dry and I had to replace the magenta, blue, yellow and photo cartridges. When it works it works great. This is very disappointing. Our last color printer was an HP and it worked great till we replaced it. Is this a known problem and is there a solution?

Hi,
Please check the following information:
http://www.hp.com/pageyield/au/en/PSC5300/index.html
We normally can only get up to around 80% to 85% of those numbers or say 170 pages. Roughly 4 x 6 = 1/4 A4 sheet that measn we can print 170 x 4 = 680 pages 5% coverage or 34 to 50 of 4 x 6 with 100% coverage.

Office Jet 6500 E710n-z won't print black even just replace the ink cartridge with a new one.

It is the 3rd time to have problem on printing "black" even the ink is not empty (but the level is low, like a quarter left). In the previous cases, I replaced the cartridge and the problem solved.
The 2nd time was last week. After I changed the cartridge, it worked (for only 1 week) and the problem is back. Since the ink is full this time and it worked well when I just changed it, I suspect this is the problem of my printer instead of the cartridge.
I did clean printhead and align printhead but the problem persist. Please advice the solution. Thanks!

Hopefully the printhead does not need replacing. I would look at this document on defective output for your printer model. I know that some of the steps in here you have mentioned already performing. Please just read over/skip those and try the ones you have not yet performed. It shows different ways to clean the printhead; if you just did the cleaning from the toolbox I would defiantly do the manual one. It also has a walk through to make sure that the products firmware is up to date.
