Printer Ink for Scrapbooks?

22 years ago

I have an HP all in one printer, scanner, copier and wondered if anyone knows if the ink is safe to use in scrap booking. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your interest in Hewlett-Packard products.

All of the ink used in our inkjet printers are acid free but are not
recommended for archival purposes. The reason for this is the ink is not
bonded to the paper during the printing process. A LaserJet is a better
solution for archiving because the toner is bonded to the paper in the
fusing assembly, so it will last as long as the print media lasts.

Well, it wasn't necessarily the cartridge. After many repeated paper jams, the thing died. STINKERS, I'm only half way thru the job. Now I have to pay to get the rest printed somewhere and then buy a new printer. DH ran out and luckily got the the ink store right before they were locking the door! So a new ink, no printer. What luck :( Thank goodness we have a little independant print shop right around the corner. I can run over tomorrow AM and print it out myself. Still, the entire venture has eaten all the profits of the job. GGG

I researched this recently when running low on ink for my Canon photo printer. What I learned, at least for this particular printer, is that there's no clear answer. Some people reported excellent results from refilling the cartridges, while others said "never again!" One thing I realized is that one person's satisfaction in the quality of a given print can be another person's disappointment. In the end I decided to buy Canon inks, and I got the best price on Amazon. Here's one idea: Go to Amazon and look up the recommended HP inks. Take a look at the consumer reviews. It's possible you'll see some comments about other options. Also, you might check out DPReview's Printers and Printing Forum. Do a search on HP ink or the model number of your printer and see what has been discussed. DPReview is a great resource.

IMHO Ancient Page is the best, it is permanent,(but water clean up), archival (acid free) dye based, comes in tons of colors. Available from Color Box. It comes in large and small stamp pads, also in the "pads" made to be used in the rolla-graph stamper wheels. I used to work in a stamping store and this is what we recommended for scrapbooking.
