I recently purchased a few cartridges of HP's Vivera Ink for my inkjet printer. I'm doing a little project for tonight's prom and thought an ink designed for photo prints would be the way to go.
So as an experiment, I printed one photo (on HP's high-gloss 4x6 paper) with the cartridge already in my printer. I planned to swap the cartridge for the Vivera cartridge and then print the same photo, to see if there was any noticable difference.
I was surprised to find that the Vivera cartridge fit into the blank ink slot in the printer, not the tri-color. I printed again and I honestly can't tell a difference.
Am I not seeing a difference because there IS no difference, or am I looking at two photos printed with the same ink? Is the printer using both cartridges in printing the photos?
I'm a little nervous, because I bought two Vivera cartridges, which I figured would be more than enough for my needs, but now I think I'm going to have to run back to Best Buy and pick up two of the regular tri-color cartridges, in case the printer's using both for photo prints now.
