HP Inkjet Cartridges and Printheads - HP 84 Ink Cartridge and Printhead Specifications

The HP 84 ink cartridges and HP 84 printheads are designed to work precisely with the HP Designjet 10PS/20PS/50PS, 30 and 130 series printers.

note:

The HP Designjet 30 and 130 series printers use only the black HP 84 printhead and ink cartridge.

• Ink cartridge feedback for clear, sharp results without guesswork.
• The cartridge delivers 69cc’s of ink.
• It is also includes a “smart chip” that optimizes print quality and automatically warns you when the ink is low.
• Specially engineered inks for photo-perfect color images.
• Uses MDL technology in the light magenta and light cyan inks. MDL technology is the utilization of additional shades of ink in order to achieve improved output quality of color images. The amount of dye load in ink has to do with the amount of colorant put in it. The less colorant, the lighter shade of ink. Conversely, the more colorant, the darker the shade of ink.
• Experience lower cost per print and increased printhead life by replacing printheads separately and less frequently than ink cartridges. On average, one printhead will last the time of two to three ink cartridges depending upon usage.

The table below provides product name, part numbers, and ink volume information for the HP 84 cartridges and printheads.

Listed below is product, ink cartridge, printhead, paper and media compatibility information.

The printer automatically performs priming, cleaning, and capping the cartridges to maintain optimum print quality. Proper use and handling will provide optimum print quality, and cartridge life. Observe the following table:

HP Inkjet cartridges and printheads feature an install before date printed on the outside of the cartridge box. Be sure to install your ink cartridges and printheads before the "Install by" date on the package.

If you install the C5016A ink cartridge before the “install-by” date, the in-printer-life will be 30 months. If the C5016A ink cartridge is installed after the “Install-by” date, the in-printer-life will less than 30 months (example, if installed one month after the “install-by” date, the in-printer-life will be 29 months). Once the ink cartridge has been installed in the printer for 30 months, it will automatically be shut off. This is to prevent potential damage to the rest of the printer’s writing system.
