HP Designjet 4020 and 4520 Printer Series - Printheads

In order to increase printing speed, two printheads are connected to each ink cartridge, giving eight printheads in total.
Figure : Printhead
The printheads are extremely durable and do not need to be replaced every time an ink cartridge is replaced. They will continue giving excellent results even if the ink cartridges are low in ink.
To maintain optimum print quality, the printheads are automatically tested at regular intervals, and automatically serviced if necessary. This takes a little time and will occasionally delay printing.
When a printhead eventually needs to be replaced, the front panel will tell you so.
  caution:
Whenever you buy a new printhead, you get a new printhead cleaner with it. When you replace a printhead, always replace the printhead cleaner at the same time. Leaving the old printhead cleaner in the printer will shorten the new printhead's life and possibly damage the printer.
