Your work deserves the best inkjet printing technology has to offer. By designing ink and paper technology together, HP produces photos full of vivid color that resist fading for 82 years—longer than traditionally processed photographs.^[1] The unique dyes in Original HP inks—many of them exclusive to HP—deliver deep, vibrant color on plain and speciality papers, plus exceptional fade resistance on HP Premium Plus Photo and Proofing Papers.
Accurate color, natural detail and virtually grain-free image quality are the hallmarks of outstanding print quality. Proprietary, dye-based Original HP inks in HP 85 Ink Cartridges are designed with the printing system to produce consistent color accuracy.
Original HP inks are carefully engineered and tested to work flawlessly with all parts of the HP DesignJet printing system—HP printer, ink cartridges, printheads and printing material—so you achieve rich, vibrant colors and extraordinary image quality time after time. To further ensure system reliability, HP inks are engineered to maintain printhead nozzle health, achieve ultra-small drop size, and guarantee compatibility with each critical component of the system.

Original HP inks are the result of years of exhaustive testing. Ink chemists typically design up to 1000 prototype ink formulations that are subjected to hundreds of tests to see how the ink interacts with the cartridge, the printer, and the paper. More than 80 tests may be conducted on the print attributes of the ink and paper alone, to ensure the highest-quality results possible.
