Black Ink I just ordered my HP Photosmart Plus printer. I noticed there are two different types of Black. There is the HP364 Black and the HP364 Photo Black.

I don't own this printer, but I believe the printer uses two different types of Black ink (at the same time, in different slots). So, for the printer to work, you would have to have all the color cartridges installed as well as both black cartridges - one of each type.

No - only the Black ink cartridge fits the Photosmart Plus. I made the same mistake thinking Photo Black was for photos.Both have the same number 564xl but they have different size cartridges. Real dumb move on HP's part.

Hi J.Young. No, the printer only has one black ink hole. I didn't know about the different black inks at the time I wrote that, but I know now. I have one photo black ink and will try it in the printer when my regular black ink runs out, but don't think it will work. Thanks for the reply. Ken

I used 1 black ink just fine. My second black ink rejected it and refuses to print..... as did the 3rd cartridge. However at least I got 1 full cartridge use out of it before the rest were rejected. I even tried renaming my printer in the Control Panel Like hted suggested. Still wouldn't print anymore.

I have a HP Photosmart 5520; the black worked but the others shut down the printer.It said they were start up cartriges and could not be used again.

I have printed them on my home printer - HP Photosmart All-In-One Color Fax/Copier/Printer. And on my printer at work, which is a large industrial sized copy machine that uses that copier black ink only - also a 3-in-one. So that is all that I know from my own experience. I would guess that it wouldn't matter. I also switched from Avery to Digi-Orange brand labels - I discovered that the quality is the same, but the price is MUCH less!

I have the HP Photosmart 7520, and I think I can help you. The HP 564XL Photo Ink Cartridge (CB322WN#140) is the one that you probably have on the right side and it is bigger than the others. You will notice that the word "Photo" is in the description. The other black one next to it, is CN684WN#140, and it is smaller, and does not have the notation "Photo" in the description. You can purchase these cartridges directly from Amazon.com, but you have to check regarding the information displayed whether or not the cartridges are compatible with your particular HP printer. If they do not say that they are compatible, it is wise to keep on looking for one that is compatible. I have the HP Photosmart 7520, and I think I can help you.

I believe this is made for Ink-Jet. I'm using an HP reg. ink-jet Photosmart. I am NOT using dura bright ink like the previous comment. I'm using regular ink. I am reselling these shirts and have had no problems with using this ink or this printer.

I have this printer and the photo quality depends a lot on the paper you use. Use one of the recommended HP papers and the photos will look surprisingly good. I also have a big, expensive Canon Pixma Pro 9500 Photo printer that drives me insane. It goes through the 10 color cartridges so quickly (they dry out) I'm constantly replacing them at great expense, so I actually prefer to use my HP printer for most photos.

My Cannon has 2 black tanks also. One is primarily used for photos and the other for paper print. Your printer may be able to use one tank if the other is to low for paper print but I am not sure. I use both because I do make photo copies on a regular basis, my Canon is great for photo's as well as color printing. I hope I helped a little bit and you enjoy your printing.

Had the same issue with the Black Ink cartridge but the Color worked fine. Contacted vendor through Amazon and they sent me another Black Cartridge at no charge. The new one did not work either. Contacted the vendor once again and got a full refund for the Black Cartridge which was more than enough to order it from another supplier that had one which worked. Up side was I did not have to return anything. You might want to try another black cartridge from somewhere else? Dunno your printer. My printer was able to tell me which cartridge was not working. Good luck!

I also use a HP Photosmart printer, but with 564 ink. It works really well with mine. I'm sure it would work fine with 02 ink. You will absolutely love this paper.

It isn't clear if you want the Photo Ink or just the Ink Cartridge, nor do I know if you have the All-in-one Printer or not. Try here or email HP directly: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=ink+cartridges+hp+b210e JM

I have had my printer for several years now and have found that the perfect combination for OUR printing needs is to use the Black XL and the regular size for the 3 colors required. Epson sells this combination as a package. They all seem to require replacement at about the same time.We do a reasonable amount of printing - but - as a rule - not pictures or intensely colored pages. If you do - I would suggest using the XL for all 4.

Check your cartridge holder. If your black one is larger than your colored cartridges you should be okay. There should have been a little color card that came with your printer that states the cartridge to use, ex: hp564/564XL

What type of Cannon printer do you have? I have a Cannon Pixma and can only use the Cannon CL241 for color and the black ink is: PG 240. I have found through my own experience that I cannot use other cartridges and unfortunately most stores do not carry those. I have to order them online and find the best price through Amazon. They are generally pretty good about shipping out quickly and these cartridges are not like HP where you get down 3/4 of the way and will no longer work. These cartridges from Cannon that I use will literally use every last drop and show as if they are completely empty... yet keep on printing. What type of Cannon printer do you have?
