Printing needs
What to use
Everyday printing
HP 56 black and HP 57 tri-colour is ideal for document printing and impressive colour graphics.
Professional-quality colour photos and graphics
The HP 57 tri-colour and HP 58 photo cartridges provide impressive colour for graphics and true-to-life photos that resist fading.
Brilliant black and white photo printing
HP 57 tri-colour and HP 59 gray photo provide truer grays and richer blacks for printing photos with dramatic detail and texture. With the HP 59, the subtleties of black and white photo prints are enhanced, as are the details in darker, shadow areas of colour photos with this combination.
The printer holds two print cartridges
at a time.
To print Colour or black and white documents:
Use HP #57 (C6657A - Tri-colour print cartridge) and HP #56 (C6656A - Black print cartridge).
To print Colour photos:
Use HP #57 (C6657A - Tri-colour print cartridge) and HP #58 (C6658A - Photo print cartridge).
To enable your printer to create the highest quality photo prints, install an HP 58 Photo cartridge in place of the HP 56 Black cartridge and load the printer with HP Premium Plus Photo paper.
When the HP 58 Photo cartridge and the HP 57 Tri-colour cartridge are installed together in your printer, you can create true-to-life, virtually grain-free photos using six-ink colour printing.
When the HP 58 and HP 57 cartridges are used with HP Premium Plus Photo paper, you can create photos that will resist fading for generations - longer than most traditionally processed photos.
The above page yield & coverage figures are meant as a rough guide and may vary depending upon coverage and image quality.
Compatible Inkjet Cartridges are available for the Photosmart7660 and represent a good saving on the original cartridges. We at System Insight guarantee your printer against any damage caused by using our compatible cartridges (other suppliers often don't).
