HP 302 Ink Cartridge - Multicolor

The black ink cartridge yields approximately 170 pages, and the tri-colour ink cartridge yields approximately 150 pages. These are standard yield estimates based on ISO/IEC 24711 or HP testing methodology.

No, these are standard yield HP 302 ink cartridges. HP also offers XL versions (HP 302XL) which contain more ink and provide a higher page yield.

The black ink cartridge uses pigment-based ink for sharp, durable text. The tri-colour ink cartridge uses dye-based ink for vibrant, true-to-life photos and graphics.

Original HP ink cartridges come with built-in fraud protection and security labels on the packaging. You can usually scan a QR code or use HP's validation tool to check authenticity.

While third-party refill services exist, HP recommends using Original HP ink cartridges for optimal performance and print quality. Refilled cartridges may not offer the same reliability or quality and could potentially void your printer's warranty.

First, ensure the cartridges are correctly installed and seated. Check for any protective tapes that might still be on the cartridge. If issues persist, try running a printhead cleaning and alignment from your printer's maintenance menu or software. You can also visit HP's support website for specific troubleshooting steps for your printer model.

Ensure the cartridge is fully seated in its slot until it clicks. Remove the cartridge and check for any protective tape or residue on the copper electrical contacts. Clean the contacts gently with a lint-free cloth if necessary, then reinsert. If the issue persists, try restarting your printer.

Check your printer's ink levels to confirm sufficient ink. Run the printhead cleaning utility from your printer's software or control panel. Ensure you are using appropriate paper settings for your print job. If the problem persists, ensure the cartridge is not empty and consider replacing it.

Verify that you have installed a new, genuine HP cartridge. Sometimes residual ink in the printhead can cause a temporary reading issue. If the alert persists and you're certain the cartridge is new, ensure your printer's firmware is up to date, as this can sometimes resolve sensor inaccuracies.
