Turn on your HP printer, open the cartridge access door, and wait for the carriage to stop moving. Remove the new HP 300 ink cartridge from its packaging, pull the tab to remove the protective tape, and insert the cartridge into its slot until it clicks into place.
Run the printer's cleaning cycle if prints are streaky or faded. Ensure all 300 cartridges are properly installed and not depleted. If issues persist, consider replacing the HP 300 ink cartridge.
Don't throw away your empty cartridges, save them from landfill and help save the environment by recycling them. Our Recycled page has loads of useful info on how to responsibly dispose of your used HP 300 ink.
Use print settings wisely; 'Draft' mode for less important documents saves ink. Store unused cartridges properly and use them before the expiration date.
The black HP 300 ink cartridge is used for printing black and white documents and is physically black in colour, while the tri-colour cartridge combines cyan, magenta, and yellow for colour printing and is physically purple in colour.
Remove the cartridge, check for any protective tape left, and clean the contact points gently with a lint-free cloth before reinserting.
Check ink levels through your printer’s control panel or software. Some printers also display ink levels on the computer when a print job is initiated.
