Is this the correct ink for the Smart tank 500 series?

The HP32 Black tank ink is pigment based -- but the HP31 color tank inks are dye based. Are there color tank inks that are pigment based? Pigment based ink is a requirement for my waterproof paper use.

Asked by: MB94
These are the only versions of HP inks for the HP SmartTank printers.

Is color ink compatible with my 2604sdw printer

Asked by: Aim14
Hello. Thanks for your question. The LaserJet Tank MFP2604sdw printer does not use color ink. The HP 153A or 153X toner refill kits would be compatible with your printer.

These inks say dye-based but when I went to purchase elsewhere, I was told that the HP 5102 came with pigment based ink and I would have to do a cleanout if I wanted to use dye-based ink. Can you confirm if these is the exact original ink?

Asked by: MsBoggs
Hello. Thanks for your question. The HP 31 70-ml Magenta Original Ink Bottle (1VU27AN) is a dye-based ink. The HP 31 magenta ink bottle is compatible with the HP Smart Tank 5102 All-in-One Printer. The HP 32XL black ink bottle, is pigment based which is also compatible with the same bottle. As long as you use the HP 31 and 32XL ink bottles, there is no need for a cleanout.

Do the ink tanks have an expiration date on them? Is there a time frame when the ink becomes "no good"? Thank you.
