HP Smart Tank 7301

if the printer doesn't need the whole 135 ml of black ink, say only 100 of it, when I lift the bottle up will it close or will the other 35 ml leak all over?

Hi @Chef22360,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

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

I understand the HP Smart Tank 7301 All-in-One printer, ink bottles are designed to be used without leaks. When you lift the bottle up, the flow of ink should stop automatically due to the bottle's built-in sealing mechanism. You shouldn't have to worry about the remaining ink leaking out. However, it’s always a good idea to handle the bottles carefully and avoid tilting them excessively to minimize any potential mess. If you’re concerned about spills, you might want to place a cloth or paper towel underneath while you’re removing or replacing the bottle.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
