HP Smart Tank 6001 Pigment or Dye based ink?

[Havasupian]

Looked but could not find an answer anywhere in community or Google search. Trying to find out if my HP Smart Tank 6001 printer comes with Pigment or Dye based ink? This is the ink that was supplied with the printer when purchased new.

Hi @Havasupian 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

The HP Smart Tank 6001 typically uses dye-based inks for color printing and pigment-based inks for black. The black ink cartridge that comes with the printer is usually a pigment ink, which provides better longevity and water resistance, while the color inks are generally dye-based, which offer vibrant colors but may not be as resistant to fading. If you want to confirm the specific inks that came with your printer, checking the product specifications or the labels on the ink bottles can provide clarity.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
