Pigment ink on HP Photosmart 7510

I understand that this printer has both dye and pigment inks.  I want to print on fabric, which requires pigment ink.  How do I force the printer to select pigment ink?  Is pigment ink available in colors other than black?  Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I'm not aware of any software options that will force the text black over photo black.
One approach that might work would be to save the image into a Microsoft word document and print from there as a word document will use text black rather than photo black - I'm not sure if this will work but it could be worth a try.

  • HP Photosmart 7510 - Can no longer find option for checking ink cartridge levels

    I have been using my HP Photosmart 7510 for about 3 years on my Windows 7 computer. In the past when I clicked on the printer icon it would bring up a window which allowed me to select what I wanted to do with the printer.  Scan, check properties, shop for supplies, and check ink cartridge levels, etc.  I still get a window but have lost some of the options. Unfortunately I do not remember what all my choices were previously, but the attached image shows the choices I am getting now.
    There were at least two other choices that included things like scanning, checking ink levels, shopping.  I have no idea what happened to make me lose these options.

    Hi,
    Please try start the printer BEFORE the computer. The menu has small change now, ink levels are always on, at the top. You may want to update its software (Oct 2012) using the following package:

  • HP Photosmart 7510 will ONLY use photo black ink

    I have a photosmart 7510 printer and I'm printing from microsoft word 2010 on a windows 8 computer. I'm printing a word document with no pictures in it. The printer preferences are set to Plain Paper with Normal quality. I cannot get the printer to use the XL black ink cartridge. It only uses the photo black ink. Is there a setting I can choose to get it to use the regular black ink?

    Hi shirsar,
    I understand you have a Photosmart 7510 that seems to be using a lot more of the photo black than the regular black ink. I'm sorry to hear this, but believe I can assist you with a solution.
    You can set the printer to use black ink only when printing from the PC and that should ensure that it uses that the black ink and not the photo ink. My instructions will be to set it up in the driver so it does it for all programs (if you want it for just the program please let me know and I will advise further). You will want to start with going to your Start screen, and just start typing Devices and Printers and you will want to open that (if that doesn't work type in Control Panel and then proceed to open Devices and Printers). Once Devices and Printers is open, right click on your Photosmart 7510 icon and select Printing Preferences. You will then want to click the Advanced button at the bottom right of the screen. The next page that opens will allow you to set the printer to use Black Ink Only when printing from the PC (please follow the screen shot below for any clarification).
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!

  • HOW TO PRINT BLACK AND WHITE ON HP PHOTOSMART 7510 USING MAC?

    HAVING SOME PROBLEM TO PRINT BLACK AND WHITE WITH MY HP PHOTOSMART 7510. SPENDING MONEY BUYING EXPENSIVE COLOR INK BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT TO DO TO PRINT JUST BLACK AND WHITE PLEASE. I HABE A MAC OS X 10.10.4 THANK YOU.

    Welcome , I would be happy to provide you with more information about printing with black only on the Photosmart 7510. First, here is how to make sure you are changing the black only settings; In the software program that you are trying to print from, click File, and then click Print. (or Command+P)I have put a red box around the drop down in the image below, from this menu you want to choose Paper Type/QualityIn the Paper Type/Quality tab, click Color Options, (usually you have to click the little arrow, again outlined in red on the image)If you want color printouts, make sure that Greyscale is selectedChange the Greyscale mode to Black Ink Only or Black Print Ink Cartridge OnlyClick Print to try the print job again.   Next you might want to read about how your ink supplies are used; The following information is from this article; Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers - it discusses several aspects of ink usage with HP printers. Ink is used in a number of ways throughout the inkjet printing process. In general, ink in an ink cartridge is used for printing documents, photographs and other such materials. Some ink, however, must be used to maintain the health of the print head; some ink is residual; and some ink evaporates. HP offers two general inkjet print head designs: integrated into the ink cartridge (Integrated Print Head: IPH), and a long-life print head integrated into a printer which has Individual Ink Cartridges (IIC). Just so you know, your printer is an Individual Ink Cartridge (IIC) setup. Some color ink may be used when printing black text-or-graphicsThere are several circumstances when color ink may be used—primarily to improve print quality, and sometimes to improve printer reliability—even if the document appears to be only black text-and-graphics. Many HP printers utilize chemical interactions to improve the quality and permanence of plain paper black text-and-graphics by adding small amounts of color ink to certain black areas. Some dark images which look black may contain a combination of black and color inks. For black and white images and photos, a blend of colors called "composite black" may be used to achieve significantly better image quality and smoother gray tones than can be accomplished with black inks alone. Some inkjet printers utilize pigmented black ink, which is incompatible with some inkjet photo paper. In this case, dark or black areas are made up of color inks. Page yield testing is conducted with all cartridges (black and color) installed in the printer. For more information see Inkjet page yields . For users who wish to print utilizing just black ink (despite the reduced print quality), many HP printers offer options. For example, a driver color setting (by selecting "print in grayscale with the black cartridge only" in printing preferences) specifies printing using only black ink. In addition, many IPH printers can operate in "reserve mode," which allows the user to continue to print with just the black cartridge when the color cartridge is removed or not installed. In HP IIC systems, all supplies are required to be installed in the printer for the printer to function.  So your IIC unit will use those colour inks to maintain itself, keep air out of the printhead and keep your print quality legible.    Please let me know if these steps resolved your issue, or if there is anything else I can do to help.  I look forward to hearing from you!   Thanks, 

  • HP Photosmart 7510 e-ALL-IN-O​ne Series pages are blank coming out of the printer

    Printed pages are either blank or streaked.  I have cleaned the print heads (clearning levels 1 & 2) and installed new  HP cartridges but issue persits.  This occours whether I print in blk&white or color.  It may print one or two good pages until it starts to streak badly or produce blank pages.  I then clean the print heads (levels 1 & 2) and sometimes it works again for a couple of pages.

  • HP Photosmart 7510 ePrinting Issues

    My company uses an HP Photosmart 7510 to print off important documents received from customers and other branches through the ePrinting services. Our ePrinting services are receiving the emails with the attached documents but the printer is not printing anything, email text or documents. Currently, the printer only has a black ink cartridge, and the the other cartridges (cyan, magenta, yellow, and photo) are out of ink. So is the source of my problem resulting from the printer not having the color ink cartridges or is the source of the problem with HP's ePrinting services?
    Thanks,
    Kenny
    [email protected]

    Hi,
    You can logon to your ePrint account to check. Most likely due to no inks. Replace color ink cartridges will help.
    FYI: I ran few tests over the weekend on my loan 7510 (with one empty color cartridge) it refused to print at the beginning but it printed a document after that.

  • How do I cancel a print job from my computer to my HP Photosmart 7510. Touchscreen is unavailable.

    HP Photosmart 7510 All-in-One CQ877a Model C3112; Operating system Windows Vista 64-bit.
    Can't find how to easily cancel a print job. The touch screen is unavailable during the printing process (just shows the HP icon spinning around during the print process). There isn't a "cancel" button or touch area to cancel. We're wasting ink and paper by not being able to cancel jobs easily. Read the 24-page manual and it doesn't mention it. Looked on line for an answer, can't seem to locate one. Can always go to Start, Printers, and select the printer and then cancel from within there, but by then, the job is finished.

    There should be a cancel button (X) on the printer. Check out the pic below taken from page 7 of the User manual for your printer:
    http://goo.gl/mW7Fy
    Alternately, instead of going the Start button route, did you check out the Final tip at the bottom of the article?
    "Final Tip (Shortcut)
    Before using the method above to open the print queue, look for the printer icon in the notification area. If you see it, double-click it to bring up the print queue. "

  • HP Photosmart 7510 touch screen, power light and wifi lights won't turn on

    I bought my HP Photosmart 7510 over a year ago, just past warranty. I've printed less than 50 pages total at home and only 3 photos. Just as of two days ago, the touch screen decided not to work anymore, and the lights that usually come on next to the power button and wifi icon won't come on either. However, when I turn it on, the same tones sound out and the scanner and ink jets move around in their usual set-up. I've troubleshooted with trying several different ways of restarting it, but to no avail.
    HP tech support phone line was a joke, I got told by the first representative (before telling him which product I had or even offering to troubleshoot) that he was going to send a repairman to my house for $149. Over the price of my printer. So I tried calling back and spoke with a young woman who, when I asked if she would help me troubleshoot my printer, said "you can't troubleshoot that, only software". Then insisted that I pay $130 for a new printer. When I asked to be transferred to her supervisor, I was yelled at, told to again buy a new HP printer, and pushed off the phone.
    I have had several HP products, I always seek them out for the brand name and have trusted the merchandise. But one year of life in a product is just silly. And unforturnately, I won't be able to convince myself to buy another one for that kind of lifespan unless I can fix this. I know I'm not the first one with this issue, is there a RECALL I'm not aware of? How can I get this puppy working again?

    Hello cbroomhead,
    I am sorry to hear about your Photosmart 7510's touch screen showing blank and not working. I understand you can still hear the printer warming up when you power it on. I would like to post you a troubleshooting guide below to try in hopes to correct the issue.
    If you have tried all of the steps and the screen is still blank, you can also try another power cable if you have one.
    Blank Control Panel Display
    If you are able to have the screen come back on, also check for a Firmware Update.
    I hope this helps!

  • Photosmart 7510 scan error

    Hello,
    i have a problem with scanning and copying. If I try to make a copy/scan from the glass, it does not recgnize it, it tries to use the adf all the time, even if it has no paper in the adf. If you put a paper in the adf, it takes it and gets it out, but on the screen appears paper jam, check the paper in the feeder. I checked the sensors in the adf, they move ok, they are not stuck. I tried even disconnecting the feeder but it does noy work.
    Can anyone give me a hint on how to repair it? Thanks in advance. Luk

  • Hp photosmart 7510 all in one

    Hello upset1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Photosmart 7510 will not print. I will do my best to assist you! Is your printer printing blank pages or only printing in one color?
    I would recommend following this entire HP document on Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems. Try printing a print quality diagnostic report and try cleaning the printhead which will improve the quality.
    I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

  • HP Photosmart 7510 - L:ooking at my Print Quality Diagnostic Reports - Why so many more "PHA Drops?"

    My Photosmart 7510 C311a indicates it has printed about 7500 pages since I purchased it in about November 2011.
    Tonight, after replacing the Cyan ink cartridge, I ran the cartridge alignment and then printed out the Print Quality Diagnostic Report.  As I was checking it out, I noticed the mention in 11, 12, 13, and 22 of the words:
    11.  PHA Installed:  01/24/2012
    12.  PHA TTOE Completed 1
    13.  PHA Hex ID: K: 3ff11948_5c3f230b, C: 00f11d60_5b421f06
    and on the line across the page for Item 22, with numbers under each color cartridge,
    (Cartridge Color)       Photo                  Magenta             Cyan                    Yellow                     Black
    22. PHA Drops          1493032000   4700387000   7245406000   51771850000   13001389000
    While these numbers are very large, I was curious as to how quickly the grew in the very short time (like five minutes) between the time I ran the first diag report and then aligned the heads and ran another diag report -- at the most it was five minutes and I printed nothing in between.  Then, after calculating the growth in each number, in about ten minutes, I ran another diag report and the numbers grew again.  For each color cartridge, over the three tests, with no more than ten minutes between tests and with nothing but the three reports printed, here are the three sets  of numbers  for "PHA Drops."
    Photo         1493032000        1494847000         1496485000
    Magenta    4700387000        4702380000         4704197000
    Cyan           7245406000        7247860000          7249779000
    Yellow        5177185000         5179178000         5180995000
    Black          13001389000      13008428000      13013963000
    Between the first and the second diag reports, the numbers for each cartridge increased by the following numbers:
    Photo           1,815,000
    Magenta      1,993,000
    Cyan             2,540,000
    Yellow          1,993,000
    Black            7,039,000
    I didn't bother to calculate the change in numbers between test 2 and test 3, but I suspect the numbers will be similar.
    My question is this:  What exactly is the definition of a "PHA Drop" and how does it fit into whatever the "PHA-related process" entails?
    I have read two or three "PHA Drop" related queries and answers on the HP Forums and the answers -- bluntly -- sound like the answer-maker either has no real idea what is involved - or - thinks nobody on the forum could understand the real answer.  Bad form..
    I don't think there is a 'conspiracy to deny' here and I don't even think the PHA Drop is something I must know about to sleep tonight -- but, it is an obvious and open part of the information that HP has seen fit to include in every Print Quality Diagnostic Report and one of the posted answers states that the whole PHA 'thing' is only used for "diagnostics." 
    Okay, diagnostics run by whom and when and where and for what purpose?  A really good, complete and accurate, fact-based answer might even help HP Users better understand the equipment we have spent good money to acquire and use.
    Answer please.
    Thanks

    PHA stands for Print Head Assembly.  This is the assembly of the color and black printheads and the electrical interconnect. 
    PHA drops are the individual ink droplets printed.  An individual drop is very small, on the order of 5 x 10 ^-12 liters for color, perhaps larger for black.   I would not be surprised to see 7 million black drops on a page.  At 600 dpi one square inch of paper would take 360,000 drops so 7 million drops would be about 20% coverage of the page if all the ink were used for printing  There will also be some ink used for servicing to keep the printhead clear.  The document here has information on how ink is used.
    The diagnostic page is useful in cases where there is a problem in printing and you call HP support.  They may have you print a diagnostic page and may ask for some of the particular lines to help diagnose the issue.  There are a large number of items in the diagnostic page that can be of interest to the support folks (or the engineers during development) but for the most part they are not useful for the end user.
