Is your HP ink Vivera Ink, and is it Pigment or Dye based?

There has been alot of confusion on that, until now. The answer is, the answer can vary.

Would you like to be able to look up your HP & HP Vivera ink and find out what type it is?

HP has finally made that easier to answer! Ya-hoo!

Here is a helpful link to look up your ink cart in question.

Get your cart number and click this link:

supplies & accessoriesHP Inkjet Printer Cartridges and Ink Supplies supplies - HP Small & Medium Business products

This link goes to the HP website, the page that lists their inks supplies. Follow these links to find out if your ink is pigment or dye based:

* Under "Product" - click on the product number of your cart (like HP 02 Ink Cartridge.)
* Next, under "Model" click on the cart name.
* Next, scroll down to "Print technology/print color". Look for "Ink types".
* Ink types will tell you if your HP ink is dye based or "pigment based.

Happy "discovering what your ink is".
Hopefully now it will be much, much easier to find out just what kind of ink you really have when it comes to HP & HP Vivera Inks.


Yes, even Vivera inks can be Dye based or Pigment based, it is best to look the carts up on the HP website link above, including the Vivera Black ink (can also be dye based or pigment).




Helpful links to more information on HP ink, if you need it.

Jaquie and Katrina, (and anyone else looking for the 88 carts) - I know you are looking for these carts, and I took a shot to check HP directly at their store, and they have the inks available there. Here is a link to the page - if you want to order from them:
Search For HP Laptops, Notebook PCs, Printers, Digital Cameras, Desktop Computers, Televisions, Handhelds, Scannes, Monitors, Projectors, and Calculators direct from the HP Home & Home Office Store

Says it's in stock and offers free shipping.


For anyone else looking for inks that are getting hard to find out in retail stores, here is a link directly to the HP store to order carts from them directly:

HP® Official Store — Buy ink, toner, and paper from HP

Good luck to you, guys. =)

Thanks, but that's the first place that I looked when I noticed that the 88 Carts no longer said Vivera in the store (Office Max, Best Buy, Staples). It's not the carts that I can't find, THEY'RE EVERYWHERE LOL, it's the Vivera carts.

What me and Katrina were saying is that the inks used to come in Vivera, but they are no longer listed as Vivera. Just the regular 88 carts.

Thanks for trying, but this is probably going to take a call to HP.

Please let us know what they say, I'd like to know just for the sake of knowing what's up with the inks. These inks are so shrouded in mystery, anything to keep them in the light is awesome. If you make the call, thank you, and please drop some info here so others can follow the crumb trail.

Thanks again! Have a great weekend.

PS: and if I find anything on it, I'll pass it on to ya.

It is pigment.... reason it is for following ONLY pigment inks have life up 200years plus and ability to get optimal result on matte paper and gloss

Dye based inks last 30 to 65 years but get brighter colors than pigment and results on gloss material is flawless, however does not soak as well in matter materials

Epson 1400 for example was dye based machine with great colors but shorter term life

Some printers can have option of either dye or pigment cart.

Hey Sean. If it is pigment or dye depends on the color and the cart #. They can be looked up in the link in the first post in this thread.
