HP 88 Cartridge Issues

The HP 88 cartridge from Hewlett-Packard offers exceptional quality and includes a large volume of ink in comparison to other printer ink cartridges. You can save money with compatible ink cartridges that contain high-quality American made aftermarket inkjet inks. Finding them however, can be a little bit difficult.

99% of the aftermarket ink cartridges for HP 88 are produced with low-quality dye-based inks that do not meet the print specifications of the original HP’s. These low-quality dye-based inks that are not even near the quality that they need to be based upon viscosity, dispersion, color values and pigments can cause damage to printheads. With the average cost of an HP 88 printhead exceeding $50, you definitely want to make sure that your compatibles are from a supplier that you can trust to provide you with quality compatibles that contain the actual inks that your printer needs.

While refilling the HP 88 ink cartridge can at times be an option, it is only recommended if you have a lot of experience doing so. The reason for this recommendation is because the way that the HP 88 is designed, the refill hole is on the bottom of the cartridge when it is sitting in the printer. It is very easy if you are you reusing the black rubber ball is removed for refilling for there to be a high potential for leaks. With the way that OfficeJet printers are designed, if ink leaks from that small opening on the bottom of the cartridge, it drains down onto the circuit board of the printer and will render your printer absolutely useless.

You can save quite a bit of money without compromising print quality if you simply use quality cartridges that are remanufactured with the proper ink formula.

For example, the HP 88 Black ink cartridge comes from Hewlett-Packard containing a high density pigment black ink. The only way that you are going to find compatible ink cartridges for printers that use the HP 88 that actually contain this high density pigment black ink, it’s going to be if you use a reliable and legitimate supplier.
