HP Ink Cartridges

Genuine HP ink cartridges

Hewlett Packard, more popularly known as HP, is a leading manufacturer of printers, inks, toners and other printing supplies. HP inks are specially formulated to give the best results for text, images and photos.

HP printer ink cartridges are usually filled with one of two types of ink: pigment-based or dye-based. Black ink cartridges are usually filled with pigment-based ink because it is best for printing crisp text. HP colour cartridges use dye-based ink required for printing out bright and vibrant colours in photos. There is nothing more satisfying than looking at a crisp new HP print made courtesy of the original HP inkjet cartridges.
