>> IMPORTANT - Press ‘No‘ when prompted with the following question: “Was this cartridge sold to you
as a new genuine HP-branded cartridge that has not been previously used?
3) “Depleted”, “Refilled”, and similar “Ink out” alerts are COMPLETELY NORMAL for HP 950/951 ink
cartridges which have been refilled! While at first this may be an unusual workflow, it does allow print
operations to proceed. Spare cartridge refills have no expiration date.
4) The “Ink Cartridge Depleted” message will be observed, and the printer will cease print operations,
when an ink cartridge ‘really is’ out of ink. HP has small sensors which look into the bottom of the ink
tank to ensure ink is present. Typically you will receive ‘Low Ink Warning’ messages just before this
occurs, then an "Ink Cartridges Depleted Message" will finally be displayed, or similar. The color which is
truly empty will be communicated on both the printer and within a Windows prompt message. Please
refer to page 6 in our FAQ support document: http://inkjet411.retailinkjet.com/wp-

NOTE: Attempting to refill ink cartridges before the 'ink out/empty' alert condition hits will actually work
one time. Since the printer monitors ink usage/drop counts, it will display the ‘Ink Sensor Warning’
messages when it 'predicts' the cartridge should be out of ink, but these messages may be ignored and
you can continue printing. Eventually the ‘Cartridge(s) Depleted’ alert message will be displayed when
the cartridge truly is out of ink. After this the printer will not know what the level of the ink is. Watch
this video which shows both of these alert messages: http://inkjet411.com/?page_id=1999

HP 932/933 & 950/951: WHY 2
ND
SET OF CARTRIDGES MUST BE PURCHASED/OBTAINED
Regarding your recent inquiry about the need to obtain a 2nd set of tanks to enable HP 950/951 refilled
cartridges to work in your HP OJPRO 8600 printer, unfortunately, HP rejects (“locks-out”) an empty
cartridge that is removed from the printer (newer HP model series), refilled, and immediately put back
in the printer. Since Costco does not replace the smart chip (at base of cartridge), the printer will
recognize the previously installed cartridge as such and block it from working in the printer. But if a
same color spare cartridge is put in the printer before inserting the refill (for ~30 seconds), then the refill
works normally*.
Besides, you would normally be purchasing new cartridges repeatedly if you did not decide to refill
them. But with refilling you only buy once more to get the second set. Then these rotated cartridge sets
