==== | ==== Loading Ink ==== | ||
The T1200 uses six HP 72 ink cartridges. We have found that brand name ink cartridges aren't worth the difference in cost of funds. Ink is changed by selecting the menu button from the front panel and selecting ''Ink > Replace Ink Cartridge.'' Follow the on screen steps. Ink Cartridges are located under the smoky color and gray bulbous panel on the left side of the printer. [NOTE: Please ensure that the cartridges are actually empty before swapping them out. The printer will sometimes say they have 'expired' due to an incorrectly set clock when they are still fine.] | The T1200 uses six HP 72 ink cartridges.

==== | ==== Ink Head Information ==== | ||
The T1200 uses three HP 72 ink heads. Each head prints two colors. As of the time of writing (Dec. 2022) the T1200 has three remanufactured print heads that are of dubious quality. Highly recommended to replace the print heads with new name brand ones when replacement is required. New HP print heads are approximately $115/ea. | The T1200 uses three HP 72 ink heads.
