| Introduction: HP's modular ink delivery system uses separate ink cartridges and printheads to deliver exception prints. Read on to find out how this innovative technology can save your company money and time, as well as boost your in-house marketing efforts. |
 |
 |
| HP's modular ink delivery system uses separate ink cartridges rather than all-in-one versions. |
 |
|
 |
| HP's modular ink delivery system separates the ink cartridges and printheads into individual, single-color components. It's unlike traditional inkjet printer systems, which use one black and one tricolor ink cartridge, each with integrated printheads. HP's system features four or more separate ink cartridges, and corresponding long-life printheads. |
|
 |
| Separate printheads and ink cartridges ensure that you never have to throw away unused ink. When one ink color runs out, you only need to replace that cartridge–handy when printing company logos. |
 |
 |
| Original HP Ink XL cartridges print three times more than regular cartridges, meaning fewer ink changes and more savings.1 |
|
 |
| Separate ink cartridges and printheads provide a number of advantages, both In terms of quality and cost. |
 |
| Longer life: By separating the ink cartridge from the printheads, a modular ink delivery system allows the ink supply to remain in a permanent, fixed position. Fixed means a greater amount of ink is stored in the ink cartridges, giving them longer life–and you'll waste less time and energy changing cartridges. |
 |
 |
| Faster print times: Since the printheads in a modular ink system are separated from the cartridges, the printheads themselves can be larger than usual, which means faster print times. |
 |
| Less waste: Separate printheads and ink cartridges ensure that you never have to throw away unused ink. When one ink color runs out, you only need to replace that cartridge. You also don't need to replace the corresponding printhead. |
 |
| Ease of use: Ink cartridges are easily replaced-they are color-coded and snap right into place. No need to make a service call every time you need a part switched out. |
 |
| Fewer replacements: Modular ink delivery gives you the option of Original HP Ink XL cartridges, which print three times more than regular cartridges, meaning fewer ink changes and more savings.1 |
 |
| Automatic notification: The smart chips built into the inkjet cartridges work together with the inkjet printers to display ink levels and printhead condition for at-a-glance ink supply and printer status information on the printer front panel or the user's desktop. You'll always get notification before needing to replace ink or printheads. |

|
 |
| Besides saving you time and money, modular ink makes a difference when it comes to printing in-house marketing materials. |
 |
| Exceptional prints: The unique pressurization system within the modular printheads maintains a constant supply of ink, delivering exceptional black and color output. Smart chips monitor the amount of ink used by counting every drop that passes through each printhead. When they sense more ink is needed to maintain continuous printing, each cartridge is temporarily pressurized to deliver the precise amount of ink. |
 |
| Single cartridge replacements: Printing marketing materials in-house is a great way to save money and custom tailor collateral based on audience. Modular ink delivery makes it even more affordable. For example, printing your company logo or letterhead frequently will undoubtedly use up certain ink colors more quickly. Having to replace only those colors will save you money, which you can put back into your marketing efforts. |
