What are HP Ink Supplies?For each of the four ink colors used in the printer, there are two separate components, the printhead
 and the 
ink car tridge
. These components are called the 
HP Ink Supplies
 and are coded with an Hewlett-Packard No. selection 
number to help you reorder the correct replacement. 
Yo u r  HP DesignJet 800PS printer uses the following HP Ink 
Supplies:
Black Ink Cartridges are HP No 10 Supplies.
Cyan, Magenta and Yellow Cartridges are HP No 82 Supplies.
All Printheads are HP No 11 Supplies.Ink CartridgesThe Hewlett-Packard ink car tridges for your printer require no maintenance or cleaning. As long as each ink car tridge is
inser ted correctly into its slot, the ink will flow to the printheads. Because the printheads control the amount of ink
transferred to the page, you will continue to see high-quality printing results, even when the ink levels are getting low.
The front panel notifies you when an ink cartridge’s ink level is low. You can also check the ink levels of all the ink
cartridges to determine if an ink cartridge needs to be replaced, see Ink Cartridge Information
. 
If the ink cartridge is empty, the printer stops printing. See Ink Cartridge Replacement
.
PrintheadsThe Hewlett-Packard printheads are extremely durable and do not need to be replaced ever y time an ink car tridge is
replaced. They are independent of the ink car tridges and will continue giving excellent image quality results even if the
ink car tridges are low in ink. 
If you notice a decline in print quality such as lines or dots missing from text or graphics, see
Stepped Lines
.
