Always keep full set replacements ready; the HP OfficeJet Pro printer performs periodic background maintenance using small amounts of colour ink, so replacing empty individual colour cartridges promptly prevents printing blockages on critical jobs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 and 8730 use the same ink cartridges?
Yes, both the OfficeJet Pro 8720 and 8730 printer models use the exact same HP 955 and 955XL ink cartridge series, making cartridges interchangeable between both models.
Can I install a high-yield 955XL cartridge into a slot previously fitted with a standard 955 cartridge?
Yes, HP 955XL cartridges share the exact same physical slot dimensions and exterior shell profile as standard 955 cartridges. The XL designation indicates greater internal ink capacity rather than a larger physical cartridge size.
Why does my HP OfficeJet Pro warn of low colour ink when I only print black and white text?
The printer uses small amounts of colour ink during automated printhead servicing cycles to prevent print nozzles from drying out. Combining text output with printhead upkeep gradually consumes individual colour tanks over time.
What happens if one colour cartridge runs completely dry during a print job?
The OfficeJet Pro print system requires functional levels in all four colour slots to operate safely and prevent thermal damage to the printhead. Replacing empty cartridges immediately ensures uninterrupted operation.
