Ink
The ink system in the 1050c printer includes three components: a print head, a printhead cleaner, and ink cartridge to provide large-capacity ink, unattended printing, ease-of-use, reliability, and low cost. The ink system offers true 600 dpi and new advanced dithering algorithms for exceptional image quality prints.
Each 600-dpi thermal Inkjet printhead applies ink droplets onto the paper and has a reservoir that holds enough ink for several prints. The printer automatically refills the print head from the ink cartridge whenever the ink volume in the printhead reservoir becomes low.
The printer uses the printhead cleaners to clean and maintain the print heads to ensure best possible image quality, and to seal the print heads when they are not in use to ensure long life.
HP80 ink supplies
The ink system components (the print head, the printhead cleaner, and the ink cartridge) are called the HP80 ink supplies, and they are coded with an HP80 icon to help with ordering the correct replacement components.
Each color ink cartridge (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) can be purchased separately from HP retailers and should be purchased when an existing ink cartridge is low to print continuously.
A printhead and a printhead cleaner are supplied as a single unit and should always be installed as a matched pair. They do not require replacement every time a new ink cartridge is installed in the printer. It is only necessary to replace a print head and printhead cleaner when the existing components are time expired.
Part numbers for HP80 ink supplies are listed in the table below.
