Printing in Color and Grayscale
The HP DeskJet 420 series printer is designed to
print in color using the color inkjet print cartridge
supplied with the printer.
When printing with the color inkjet print cartridge, the
black that appears, called “composite black,” is a
mixture of the cyan, yellow, and magenta inks. The
darkness of the composite black depends on the
intensity settings and the print quality mode selected
through your printer software. (See page 5, “Finding
the HP Printer Setup Box.”) Use the darkest intensity
and the highest print quality available to produce the
“blackest” composite black.
Use the black inkjet print cartridge for better black
text, and faster, more economical printing. For
printing documents with the black inkjet cartridge,
remove the color cartridge from the printer, store it in
the storage container and insert the optional black
inkjet print cartridge in the printer. If you are not
using a bi-directional printer cable, select the black
inkjet print cartridge in the
Setup tab of the printer
software. (See page 5, “Finding the HP Printer Setup
Box.”)
See your local HP dealer or office supply store to
purchase one of these black inkjet print cartridges:
Large Black HP51626A (optional)
Black HP51626G (optional)
You can print grayscale drafts of your color
documents with the black inkjet cartridge. Click
Print
in Grayscale in the printer software. (See page 5,
“Finding the HP Printer Setup Box.”) Your color
documents will print in shades of gray until you
change the setting and the inkjet print cartridge.
