Hi @Asdfghjkl20,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

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

 

I understand you're looking for information related to ink cartridges for your printer.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, I'm here to help you today.

 

Yes, HP ENVY 7100 series printers have rubber seals or "boots" in the cartridge carriage. These seals are located underneath the ink cartridges and are part of the ink delivery system. They ensure a tight connection between the cartridges and the printer, preventing ink leakage and maintaining proper ink flow.

 

If you're troubleshooting an issue, ensure these seals are clean and free from dried ink or debris. If the seals are damaged or missing, it can lead to printing problems like streaks, smudges, or poor ink flow.

 

Please mark this post as “Accepted Solution” if the issue is resolved and if you feel this reply was helpful click “Yes”.

 

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day
