Remove ink HP 6001

[Dmarkl65]

I have an HP 6001 printer, during setup we put the wrong color ink in the black tank. How do we remove the blue ink from the black tank

Hi @Dmarkl65,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

If you have accidentally filled the wrong color ink in one of the tanks of your smart tank printer, you can try to drain it out by following these steps:

1. Turn off your printer and unplug it from the power source.
2. Open the ink tank cover and carefully remove the ink tank containing the wrong color ink.
3. Use a syringe or an ink extractor tool to remove the ink from the tank. Be careful not to damage the tank or spill the ink.
4. Dispose of the wrong color ink properly and clean the tank with a lint-free cloth or tissue.
5. Refill the tank with the correct color ink and reinsert it into the printer.
6. Close the ink tank cover and turn on the printer. 

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
