Hi Jay_G24

Thank you for your answer. Both cartridges have to be full ?
Can I put two black cartridges there? 
There are “remanufactured ink cartridges replacements” on Amazon and they are cheaper than the regular hp cartridges. Is it safe to use them do they work? How do they differ from the hp ink cartridges

thank you

No, you cannot insert the 2 black cartridges at the same time.

You may refill your cartridges or use remanufactured cartridges, but you may run into problems. HP will not guarantee the functionality of those ink cartridges.

There are many cartridges in the market which is refilled and sometimes the chip is not configured to work with the printer. You need to contact the cartridge manufacturer and find out why its not working. Try a different cartridge supplier and check if that works.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

The original would be the best but it’s way too expensive and the number of pages it yields is very low and the cost per page is high. Do they ever run any offers?
are there trusted non original  refills ?

I mean are there trusted non original cartridge replacements . I think The current cartridges need replacement not only ink refill
