What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your printer model is DeskJet Plus 6075 or 6475 or otherwise accepts HP 653 colour cartridges

Usage recommendations

For best results, store the cartridge in a cool, dry place and install it before the ink is needed for a print job. Run occasional colour test prints and use the printer’s cleaning utilities if you notice streaking or colour gaps. Replace the cartridge as soon as print quality declines to avoid damage from prolonged use of depleted ink cartridges.
