Has anyone know what the type , measurements and thickness of the sponge /foam uses by this service station?

 

The thickness for Tricolor is just 0.3cm.

I don't know for the black ink if they're the same. I can't seem to find any information about it over the web.

 

Is there an alternative universal sponge/foam for this printer that I can use?

 

Can I use other sponge/foam for other brand of printer like for Epson waste ink pad, and just cut it?

 

Can anyone point me to the link where how service station works with this kind of printer?

This foam is for tricolor. I cleaned it and it's just installed by putting it on, without adhesive.

 

Has anyone know for the foam pad for black? I think the black is about 2.1cm x 3cm. I don't know if they are the same in thickness, and don't know if it's stick-on by adhesive.

Hi @Jhun12,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

I'd like to help!

 

The HP Service Station Ink Absorber or sponge is typically a part of the internal maintenance system of certain HP inkjet printers. The size and specifications of this absorber may vary depending on the specific printer model. It's not a user-replaceable part, and it's typically serviced by HP-authorized service technicians.

 

If you believe the ink absorber in your HP 2640 printer needs replacement or servicing, I recommend contacting HP support or an authorized HP service center for assistance.

 

I've sent you a private message with further instructions. In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Support Community profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link.

Thank you for your reply. I want to replace it by myself. I want to know what's the information of my printer. I hope you can help me for some research.
