Printheads
The Printheads are extremely durable and do not need to be replaced 
every time an Ink Cartridge is replaced. They are independent of the 
Ink Cartridges and will continue giving excellent image quality 
results even if the Ink Cartridges are low on ink. In order to know 
when to replace a Printhead, see page Page 3-7, When Should You 
Replace the Printheads?
The Printheads are number coded HP No.11 for ALL colors.
If you notice a decline in print quality such as lines or dots missing 
from text / graphics, go to page Page 6-4, Performing the 
Troubleshooting Procedure.
