FAQs

How long will the ink cartridges last?

The black cartridge yields approximately 120 pages, and the tri-color cartridge yields approximately 100 pages, based on ISO/IEC 24711 standards. Actual yield varies based on usage.

Can I refill the HP 304 cartridges?

HP does not recommend refilling original HP cartridges, as this can affect print quality and printer performance. Using refilled cartridges may void the printer warranty.

What should I do with the old ink cartridges?

HP offers a recycling program. Visit the HP website to find out how to recycle your old cartridges.

Why aren't my ink levels showing correctly?

Some printers may not accurately display ink levels. This does not affect print quality. If prints look good, continue printing until the quality degrades.

How do I improve print quality?

Ensure you are using the correct paper type for your print job. Run the printer's cleaning and alignment functions from your printer settings.

What is the shelf life of the HP 304 cartridges?

The shelf life of the cartridges is typically up to 24 months if stored properly in a cool, dry place.

Can I use HP 304 cartridges in different HP printer models?

No, HP 304 cartridges are only compatible with the printer models listed in the compatibility section.

Troubleshooting

Printer indicates low ink or empty cartridge.

If the printer displays a low ink warning, but the print quality is still good, you can continue printing. The printer may not accurately display ink levels.

Print quality issues (streaks, faded colours).

Run the printer's cleaning cycle. If the problem persists, align the print heads in the printer settings.

Cartridge not recognized.

Make sure the cartridge is correctly installed. Ensure the protective tape has been removed. If the issue persists, try resetting the printer by unplugging it for 60 seconds.

Printer jams.

Turn off the printer and remove any paper. Check for obstructions within the paper path.
