Cartridge Insight
Because HP 56 and 57 cartridges feature integrated printheads, replacing an old cartridge installs a fresh firing nozzle array-making multipack replacements an easy way to eliminate faint or streaky prints caused by aged printheads.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install an HP 56 black cartridge and an HP 57 colour cartridge at the same time?
Yes, the HP Photosmart 7660 utilizes a dual-cartridge bay designed to hold one 56 (C6656AA) black cartridge and one 57 (C6657AA) colour cartridge simultaneously for routine text and image printing.
What happens when one colour depletes in the tri-colour HP 57 cartridge?
The HP 57 (C6657AA) is an integrated tri-colour cartridge containing cyan, magenta, and yellow ink chambers. If one individual colour empties during photo printing, the entire cartridge must be replaced to restore complete colour accuracy.
