If you have used a non-OEM or a remanufactured printhead that is causing printing issues in your HP Office Jet Pro 8500, the best solution is to replace it with an OEM printhead that is compatible with your printer. OEM printheads are new and are designed to work perfectly with your device, ensuring that you get the best print quality.

The Hewlett Packard (HP) Office Jet Pro 8500 is a reliable printer that can produce quality prints for home or office use. However, encountering printing issues can be frustrating, especially if the printer was just recently repaired or had its printhead replaced. In this blog post, we’ll discuss some of the reasons why your HP Office Jet Pro 8500 may not be printing well after replacing the printhead and what you can do to fix it.

The Printhead Issue: Non-OEM or Remanufactured Printhead

The most common reason why your HP Office Jet Pro 8500 may not be printing well after replacing the printhead is due to the type of printhead you used. If you bought a non-OEM printhead or a remanufactured printhead, this is most likely the issue.

When you purchase a non-OEM or remanufactured printhead for this printer, it means that somebody has previously used it until it stopped working for them. Therefore, it’s basically garbage. It’s always best to replace it with an OEM printhead in the style of your printer that will work perfectly with your device.

The Solution: Replace with an OEM Printhead

Replacement Ink Cartridges: Use Premium Quality Ink

In addition to replacing your printhead with an OEM one, it is also essential to use quality ink cartridges for your HP Office Jet Pro 8500 for optimum performance. You can use refilled or compatible cartridges as long as they use a premium ink like the one used by Printer Refillers. Cheap ink can clog your printhead, and this can result in printing issues.

The best solution is to replace it with an OEM printhead specific to your device, ensuring the best print quality. Remember to also use premium quality ink cartridges that won’t clog your printhead.
