specially formulated to mix with the ink in the print head assembly.

When purchasing replacement cartridges, refer to the cartridge numbers that appear on
the back cover of this guide. These cartridge numbers may vary by country/region.
HP Photosmart D7300 series User Guide13

Ink cartridge tips
HP Vivera Inks deliver true-to-life photo quality and exceptional fade resistance resulting
in vivid colors that last for generations! HP Vivera Inks are specially-formulated and
scientifically tested for quality, purity and fade resistance.
For best print quality, HP recommends that you install all retail ink cartridges before the
install-by date stamped on the box.
For optimum printing results, HP recommends using only genuine HP ink cartridges.
Genuine HP ink cartridges are designed and tested with HP printers to help you easily
produce great results, time after time.
Note HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of non-HP ink. Printer service
or repairs required as a result of printer failure or damage attributable to the use
of non-HP ink will not be covered under warranty.

for extended lengths of time.
Inserting or replacing the ink cartridges

more information, go to www.hp.com/hpinfo/globalcitizenship/environment/recycle/
inkjet.html.
4.Remove the new ink cartridge from its packaging, and while holding it by the handle,
slide the ink cartridge into the empty slot.
Make sure you insert the ink cartridge into the slot that has the same shaped icon
and color as the new cartridge. The copper-colored contacts should be facing the
printer as the ink cartridge is inserted.
