Why choose the genuine HP 72 printhead
Genuine HP 72 printhead (C9383A): it fires the HP 72 ink onto the media; a genuine printhead guarantees the alignment, drop size and lifetime HP designed. Rated for several sets of cartridges; replace when the plotter asks or when lines are still missing after cleaning.
Matching inks
Use with HP 72 inks: C9370A (black), C9403A (black), C9371A (cyan), C9374A (gray), C9372A (magenta), C9373A (yellow). The printhead is replaced without tools; the plotter aligns it automatically.
Printers compatible with the C9383A
The C9383A is compatible with: HP DesignJet T610 Printer series, T620 Printer series, T770 Printer series, T1100 Printer series, T1200 Printer series, HP DesignJet T1200 HD Multifunction Printer, HP DesignJet T2300 eMFP, HP DesignJet T790 ePrinter series, HP DesignJet T1300 ePrinter series.
Check the exact reference of your printer (label at the back or Information menu); suffixes (dn, dw, fdw, n) are variants of the same series and use the same consumables.
Lifetime
Lifetime given by the printer's counter.
Installation and maintenance
Replacement guided by the plotter menu (Ink > Replace printheads): the carriage moves into position, unlock the cover, lift the old printhead out by its handle, remove the protective caps from the new one and clip it in; the plotter runs the automatic alignment. Do not touch contacts or nozzles.
Use and tips
A printhead outlasts several sets of cartridges; replace it when the plotter says so (status message or diagnostic report) or when lines are still missing after two cleanings.
Keep the printhead sealed in its packaging until installation; do not touch nozzles or contacts. After replacement, let the plotter finish alignment and color calibration.
