Important Compatibility Note

• Some compatible HP printer models may reject compatible cartridges if Dynamic Security, firmware-based cartridge checks, or similar chip-based recognition systems are active.
• HP states that certain printers are intended to work only with cartridges using a new or reused HP chip or HP electronic circuitry.
• This is a known printer-side compatibility limitation and is not automatically considered a cartridge defect.

Possible Errors & Troubleshooting

• If messages such as “Ink Cartridge Problem”, “Incompatible Ink Cartridges”, “Incorrect Ink Cartridge”, or “Cartridge not communicating correctly with printer” appear, remove the cartridge and reinstall it carefully.
• Check that the cartridge is inserted correctly and fully locked into place.
• Make sure all protective film, seals, and transport protection have been removed before installation.
• If needed, clean the chip and contact area carefully with a dry lint-free cloth.
• If the printer displays “Non-HP chip or Circuitry Detected”, printer-side Dynamic Security, firmware, or similar HP checks may be involved.
• If print quality is poor after recognition, run the standard printer maintenance steps such as printhead cleaning and alignment if supported by the model.
• Contact Plutoos support if the issue persists.
