Ok, I dunno why the ink number for my printer is the most expensive out there. I have an HP PSC 2410 Photosmart All-in-One printer and it takes a 57 tricolor ink and a 56/58 black ink. When i go to buy ink the black is a pretty reasonable $20 or less but the color is like $35 everywhere i go!!
That's really expensive, so I was wondering if I buy a different number color ink (same brand) for my printer, will it fit and work just as well? Or will there be minor/major glitches? Does it really matter if I use a different number than I'm supposed to?Can I use a different number color ink for my printer than indicated?
Generic inks are cheaper and they work too. You may want to consider buying them
If you are buying a different number ink, you need to check if your printer is compatible with it. There is a list of ink cartridges and its compatible printers here http://www.inkjetcartridge101.com/hp-ink鈥?/a>

You should check the printer compatibility on the side of any different cartridge numbers you attempt to use.
Basically, inkjet cartridges need to not only ';fit'; but they need to be electrically compatible with the printer as well, as the ink cartridge is not just a box full of ink, but contains the print spray heads and control mechanisms as well (it's why laser printers and/or inkjet refilling is so much more cost-effective for heavy volume printing, you relegate the manufacture of a complex component to being a one-off (or at least not as many times as you refill at least, laser printers need to replace the drum every few ten thousand pages or so usually).
