QUALITY AT EVERY STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT

Dedication to manufacturing quality begins with a multi-step Quality Assurance process—all cartridges are tested as they come off the production line to confirm that each and every one meets

HP’s quality standards.

Procurement for the right mix. HP Procurement engineers work with Research and Development engineers to determine the characteristics needed for each element of the ink cartridges and then work with HP suppliers to

maintain strict quality standards.

Driving innovations in ink technology. Development of new Original HP Inks, cartridges, and printheads involves multiple stages of design and testing. In fact, up to 1,000 prototypes may be created and tested before a new design is released, helping ensure you get the highest-quality product possible.

Continually looking to the future of ink. HP strives to deliver the best products possible, which is why customer feedback, along with market research, guides HP innovation for product improvement and advances.

Behind Original HP Ink cartridges there are hundreds of hours of testing and years of engineering and development. HP’s goal is to provide customers with printing experiences that amaze and prints that stand the test of time.

TESTED FOR RELIABILITY AND FADE RESISTANCEEnsuring you get all the pages you paid for. HP participated in, supported the development of, and adopted international standards for determining inkjet page yields.4

Fade resistance you can count on. Original HP Inks are formulated for durability. For example, Original HP pigment inks used by HP OfficeJet Pro printers have permanence certificates under the ISO 11798

standard. This means prints will withstand exposure to light, water, abrasion, handling, and long-term storage and heat, and still be legible in the future.3

Durability proven by independent testing. Tests conducted by Wilhelm Imaging Research, Inc. indicate that documents printed with Original HP Inks stored in the dark, such as a file folder or box, will resist fading for greater than 100 years.5

Photos with lasting, vivid color. Images printed with Original HP Inks on selected HP Photo Papers can last for decades when displayed under glass.5
