Which ink cartridges do I need for my HP Photosmart C4680 All-in-One printer?įor your US HP Photosmart C4680 All-in-One Printer you need HP 60 or HP 60XL cartridges.įor your European or UK HP Photosmart C4680 All-in-One Printer you need HP 300 or HP 300XL cartridges. You cannot initiate a print job from the control panel (such as copying or scanning an original). During ink-backup mode, the printer can only print jobs from the computer. The ink-backup mode is initiated when a print cartridge is removed from the print cartridge carriage. Use the ink-backup mode to operate the printer by using only one print cartridge.
You do not need to replace the print cartridges until print quality becomes unacceptable. Consider getting replacement print cartridges when you receive a low-ink warning message. Ink level warnings and indicators provide estimates for planning purposes only. So if you are not a frequent printer, go with the regular cartridges. Our advice is that if you print often, go with XL. They will be able to print at least double the pages of a regular cartridge. XL (Extra Large) cartridges cost more but do provide better value in the long run. HP recommends that you use original HP ink cartridges. Cartridges are not compatible between different brands, and often not within the same brand. However, if you print or copy a lot, look for a faster machine with much lower ink prices.Make sure you purchase the right ink cartridges for your specific printer. The Photosmart C4680 would be a decent choice for a light-duty home MFP, given its nice output and friendly controls. The high-yield supplies are small consolation: A 600-page black costs $35 or 5.8 cents per page a 440-page tricolor costs $42 or 9.3 cents per page, making a four-color page cost 15.1 cents. Using standard-sized black and tricolor cartridges (lasting 200 and 165 pages, respectively), the C4680 costs more than nearly every other color inkjet MFP we’ve reviewed to date: 7.5 cents per page for black and 19.6 cents per page for a four-color printout. The Photosmart C4680’s biggest drawback by far, though, is the cost of its ink. But it’s just not very fast: In our tests, using the printer’s default (“normal”) mode, the machine managed just 7.4 pages per minute (ppm) printing plain-black text and 2.3 ppm printing graphics–below the average of other inkjet MFPs we’ve tested, and far short of HP’s claims of 29 ppm using just black ink and 23 ppm using all four colors.
