HP Photosmart D7360 Ink Cartridges
Your HP Photosmart D7360 uses the HP 02 ink cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Jan 2006. Designed for six-ink photo printing, this model relies on individual tanks where colours like Light Cyan 02 (C8774WA) and Light Magenta 02 (C8775WA) deplete faster when outputting portraits or sky tones. Our 4.8 Google Star rating shows that our customers consistently receive high-quality cartridges backed by reliable performance. Replacing individual colours as they run out ensures consistent colour balance without wasting unused ink.
Expected output and photo ink usage
Photo printing yield varies significantly depending on image composition, detail density, and colour saturation. HP 02 page yields are measured according to ISO/IEC testing standards, though rendering high-resolution full-page photos consumes ink faster than standard document printing.

Pro Tip
Pro Tip: Always replace light cyan and light magenta cartridges in pairs if you frequently print photos with heavy sky or skin-tone areas, as these complementary shades usually reach depletion at nearly identical rates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do Light Cyan 02 (C8774WA) and Light Magenta 02 (C8775WA) cartridges empty faster than primary Cyan and Magenta?
The HP Photosmart 6-ink system uses light inks to create smooth gradients, skin tones, and subtle highlights. Because photo printing relies heavily on these mid-tones, light shades deplete rapidly even when printing images with balanced colour mixes.
Can I print using only the Black 02 (C8721WA) cartridge if one of the colour tanks is empty?
No, the HP Photosmart D7360 requires all six individual ink cartridges to contain ink and maintain pressure in the printhead system. Leaving an empty cartridge in place risks drying out the nozzles or interrupting normal printhead operation.
How do multi-pack bundles reduce long-term printing costs for the HP Photosmart D7360?
Buying multi-colour bundles lowers the cost-per-cartridge across all six individual tanks. Since photo printing exhausts individual colours unevenly, having a full set ready prevents unexpected downtime while maintaining low unit costs for each shade.
