Impress with color and increase efficiency. Get high-quality color and fast print speeds. Save time with Smart Task shortcuts in HP Smart app, and print and scan from your phone.3 Get seamless connections and strong security solutions.

This printer is intended to work only with cartridges that have a new or reused HP chip, and it uses dynamic security measures to block cartridges using a non-HP chip. Periodic firmware updates will maintain the effectiveness of these measures and block cartridges that previously worked. A reused HP chip enables the use of reused, remanufactured, and refilled cartridges. More at: http://www.hp.com/learn/ds
