Printer ink cartridges for HP printer on the past have be know for being very expensive. The HP Photosmart D5400 ink cartridges follow this trend but with one small difference, colour HP ink cartridges of the past where a single block cartridge which was contained compartments which held each colour ink. This meant that if one colour ran out and the other still had ink left you had to throw away the cartridge and replace it will a new one. The Photosmart D5400 uses a different system where each colour has it’s own separate cartridge, this means if one colour runs out you only have to change that cartridges and no ink is wasted. Genuine HP ink cartridges for the Photosmart D5400 contain ink developed by HP to make prints more durable to the elements and stop them from fading over time. Although genuine HP ink cartridges for the Photosmart D5400 are expensive there are cheaper alternatives from other third party companies in the form of compatibles. These offer the same print yield but don’t contain the same ink as HP, so prints will not resist fading as long, but they do cost on average 60% less than genuine HP ink cartridges.
