What is the volume of ink in this cartridge?

The HP 746 ink cartridge contains 300 ml of Chromatic Red ink.

Are the prints produced by this ink water and fade resistant?

Yes, prints produced with the HP 746 Chromatic Red ink are designed to be water and fade resistant, lasting over 200 years in dark storage.

What type of ink is used in the HP 746 cartridge?

How should I store an unused ink cartridge?

Store unused cartridges in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. The ideal storage temperature range is -40 to 60 °C.

Can I use this cartridge with other brands of printers?

No, this is an original HP ink cartridge and is specifically designed for compatible HP DesignJet printers. Use with non-HP printers is not supported and may cause damage or poor results.

What is the benefit of pigment-based ink?

Pigment-based inks generally offer better lightfastness (resistance to fading) and water resistance compared to dye-based inks, making them ideal for archival and professional applications.

Troubleshooting

Cartridge not recognized by printer

Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated. Remove and reinsert it. Check for any protective tape that may still be attached. Clean the electrical contacts on the cartridge and inside the printer with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Poor print quality (streaks, missing colors)

Run the printer's built-in cleaning and calibration utility. Check that the correct ink type (Chromatic Red) is selected in the print settings. Ensure the printer firmware is up-to-date.

Low ink warnings appear prematurely

Confirm you are using an original HP cartridge. Some third-party software or settings might misinterpret ink levels. Run a printer diagnostic if available.

Ink smudging or smearing

Allow prints to dry completely after printing. Ensure the paper type selected in the print driver matches the paper being used. Check environmental conditions; high humidity can affect drying times.
