Designed for use only in HP printers with 5 cartridge slots: black, photo, cyan, magenta, yellow. The HP 178 Photo Ink Cartridge does not work in printers with only 4 slots. The Photo ink cartridge will not fit in the Black cartridge slot.

Handle your photos right from the printer, using Original HP inks with HP Advanced Photo Paper. Photos dry instantly, resist water and smudging, and maintain their quality for generations without fading.^[1][5]
Print documents with rich black text. Bolder blacks improve contrast and sharpen text. Documents dry faster for less smearing when handled. HP recommends ColorLok® paper for best printing results.
HP proprietary inks are formulated to prevent corrosion and clogging of the printhead, ensuring the best prints. Refilled cartridges contain different inks that may clog and corrode the printhead and impact print quality and reliability.

Ensure your ink cartridges are installed in the right place—unique color and fit make replacing ink a breeze.
