The document here indicates the HP 680 black cartridge uses dye based ink.  Most HP consumer printers use pigmented black for best quality text and dye based color for best photos. It appears the HP 680 black cartridge uses dye based ink for lower cost.

 

The document here confirms the HP 680 tri-color cartridge is also dye-based.

Bob_Headrick is a retired HP Engineer. I do agree with you in asserting that he certainly is a top of the line printer Guru. 🙂
