Product Information

Print phenomenal colour while maximising uptime – now with original HP JetIntelligence toner technology. Expect consistently fast output, brilliant prints, and the world’s strongest security.[1]

Dynamic security enabled printer Certain HP printers are intended to work only with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip or electronic circuitry. These printers use dynamic security measures to block cartridges using a non-HP chip or electronic circuitry. Periodic firmware updates will maintain the effectiveness of these measures and block cartridges that previously worked. Reused HP chips and electronic circuitry enable the use of reused, remanufactured, and refilled cartridges.
