How to Reorder Ink Refill Kits for HP DeskJet 2700 Series Printers

Question:
I have an HP DeskJet 2700 printer and would like to reorder the refill kit for both black and color cartridges. Could you confirm what type of ink is used in each?

Answer:

For your HP DeskJet 2700 series printer, here's the breakdown of refill ink types:

  • Black Cartridge (HP 305/305XL or equivalent used in the 2700 series): This cartridge uses pigment-based black ink. Pigment inks are designed to provide sharp text and smudge-resistant results, making them ideal for documents.

  • Tri-Color Cartridge (cyan, magenta, yellow): These use dye-based inks. Dye inks are water-soluble, providing vibrant and bright colors for photos and graphics, though they are generally less resistant to fading compared to pigment inks.

When reordering, you'll want to make sure you're choosing a refill kit that clearly states pigment ink for black and dye ink for color. Mixing up dye and pigment inks in the wrong cartridges can lead to clogging, poor print quality, or even permanent damage to the cartridge's internal sponge and nozzles.

At BCH Technologies, we offer refill kits that are designed to match the original specifications of your HP DeskJet 2700 series cartridges, ensuring both compatibility and print quality. If you're reusing your existing cartridges, make sure they are still in good condition before refilling-severely worn or electrically damaged cartridges may not respond well to refilling.

Addressing printer issues and ink compatibility can be a bit of a hands-on process. For that reason, we aren't able to provide remote troubleshooting, suggestions, or support for printer repairs. However, we do offer in-person evaluation and repair services (https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service) through our local diagnostic facility. Please note that our services are first-come, first-served, so there might be a wait time before we can check your printer. Our repair options cover either complete units or specific parts, with straightforward instructions for each service. That said, we understand our rates may not be the lowest, so we always encourage customers to explore self-help options as well.

One of the best starting points is online research-especially using our YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies). Use the search icon next to the "About" section to find specific topics. Since we've created hundreds of videos over the years, it's impossible to recall them all, but searching by keywords (e.g., "HP 2700 refill kit" or "HP 305 refill") will help you quickly locate relevant guides. Plus, YouTube may suggest additional helpful content from other repair experts.

Thank you again for your trust and for taking the time to connect with us. We're glad to support you in keeping your HP DeskJet 2700 running smoothly.
