      If you are experiencing print quality issues with your HP Power Tool, first check the flexible ink hose connections to ensure they are not kinked before performing the Ink Flow Calibration wizard. Then, perform the Ink Flow Calibration wizard to recalibrate the ink flow rate. Also, check for a clogged pump (look for waste around the filter) or a bad pump that could be decreasing the flow rate. If problems continue after BID replacement, check the flow.

    • Z
      Zachary GuzmanAug 26, 2025
      Mechanical defects on the developer surface of your HP Power Tool are often caused by improper BID handling, especially during insertion and removal. BID roller grinding can also occur if the BID engages the PIP when it should not. Run a BID diagnostic to verify that the BID motor is rotating. In some cases, the BID may need replacement. If the BID is not engaging the PIP when the unit is not in the print mode, call customer engineer.
