HP print cartridges The science of precision and control
An HP print cartridge is like a high performance engine. Consider the fact that each ink nozzle fires up to 36,000 ink droplets per second. Or the level of precision required to accurately place each ink droplet travelling at 50 km/h onto a microscopic area. And the ink? Well, for every successful formulation that finds its way into your print cartridge, our scientists reject a hundred more. At HP, the science of printing has been honed into a work of art.
