What Ink Does the HP Deskjet 2700 Use?

Quick answer: The HP Deskjet 2700 series (2723e, 2742e, 2752e and others) uses HP 67 standard or HP 67XL high-yield ink cartridges — a Black cartridge and a Tri-color (cyan/magenta/yellow) cartridge. The HP 67XL version prints roughly 2.5× as many pages as HP 67 standard and is the best value for most users.

HP 67 vs. HP 67XL Yields

  • HP 67 Black — ~120 pages
  • HP 67XL Black — ~240 pages
  • HP 67 Tri-Color — ~100 pages
  • HP 67XL Tri-Color — ~200 pages

How to Replace HP 67 Cartridges in a Deskjet 2700

  1. Turn the printer on and open the front access door.
  2. Wait for the cartridge carriage to stop moving.
  3. Press the old cartridge down and pull it out toward you.
  4. Remove the pink plastic tab from the new HP 67/67XL cartridge.
  5. Slide the cartridge into the slot at a slight upward angle and push until it clicks.
  6. Close the access door — alignment runs automatically.

Does the Deskjet 2700 Use Instant Ink?

Yes — the Deskjet 2700 is HP+ / Instant Ink eligible, but you don't have to enroll. If you want to skip HP's subscription entirely, simply decline the enrollment during initial setup and use compatible HP ink cartridges from Castle Ink instead.

Troubleshooting Ink Issues

If you see "Printer Error" or streaking after installing new cartridges, run a print-head cleaning from the HP Smart app and print an alignment page. For deeper diagnostics, HP maintains full documentation at the official HP Deskjet 2700 support site.
