=== Swapping ID chips between incompatible cartridges ===
It is possible on some HP cartridge models and their respective printers to replace the DRM chip of an incompatible cartridge with one from a compatible OEM cartridge. This possible because many HP cartridge models share the exact same physical dimensions despite the difference in name. This also allows for the use of less-expensive third-party cartridges or refillable cartridges in printers that may not have had them available for purchase otherwise.
