Ink HP 72 / C9383A Magenta/Cyan print head content_copy

The HP print head type C9383A, also designated as HP 72, is a consumable for large-format printers of the HP DesignJet series. It serves as a replacement part for print heads in models such as the T610-, T620-, T770-, T1100-, T1200-printer series, the HP DesignJet T1200 HD multifunction printer, the HP DesignJet T2300 eMFP, the HP DesignJet T790 ePrinter series, and the HP DesignJet T1300 ePrinter series. The print head is specifically developed for use with Thermal Inkjet technology, in which electric heating elements heat the ink in the nozzles and eject it as a fine droplet onto the paper. This technology enables high print accuracy and ensures sharp details, particularly in technical drawings and graphic representations. The print colours Cyan and Magenta are integrated into a single print head, ensuring colour accuracy and consistent output. The colours are optimised for rendering tonal gradations and producing high-quality colour prints.

Applications
The print head is primarily designed for use in the graphics industry and in work environments where technical documents, blueprints, architectural drawings, or other graphic content are output in high quality and with high productivity. The printers for which this print head is intended are typically used in office and production environments where reliable and continuous print performance is required. The print heads are designed for professional environments with high demands on print quality and operational reliability.

Functions and Features in Detail
The print head offers high precision at fast print speeds, increasing productivity. The integrated technology ensures continuous optimisation of print quality and maximises the lifespan of the print head. The print heads are equipped with intelligent control that adjusts print parameters to match each print job, ensuring consistent performance. Installation is simple and does not require special tools. The print heads are designed to be easily integrated into the printer, with connection interfaces and control units compatible with the respective printer systems.

Technology Explained Simply
The Thermal Inkjet technology works by selectively heating the ink in the nozzles. When a specific temperature is reached, the ink vaporises, creating a pressure pulse that ejects an ink droplet from the nozzle. This method enables very fine and precise droplet ejection, which is crucial for reproducing details and colour gradients. The print heads are designed for use with HP Vivera inks, which are specifically formulated for these print heads to ensure optimal performance and longevity. The print heads are manufactured in a compact format, with a width of 28 mm, a depth of 143 mm, and a height of 132 mm. The weight is 66 g, enabling easy handling.

Compatibility and Accessories
The print head is exclusively intended for the specified HP DesignJet printer models. It is not suitable for other printer systems or printing technologies. Compatibility is ensured by the specific shape and electronic control interface. Using original HP consumables guarantees the best possible print quality and prevents damage to the printer system.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting is done by simply inserting the print head into the designated position in the printer. The printer typically performs a self-test once the new print head is detected to verify correct installation. Installation requires no special tools or technical knowledge. The print heads are designed to fit only in the correct position, preventing incorrect installation. After installation, the printer usually automatically adjusts to the new print head parameters.

Operational Advantages
The print head offers a high page yield, reducing operating costs and increasing productivity. Its reliable and trouble-free operation ensures continuous printing without frequent interruptions. High print quality and colour accuracy are essential for professional applications where visual representation is of high importance. The integrated technology ensures a long lifespan for the print head, extending maintenance intervals and reducing operating costs. The print heads are designed for use in a temperature range of 15 to 35 °C and relative humidity of 20 to 80 %, enabling broad applicability in various environments. Storage should also be within a temperature range of 15 to 35 °C and relative humidity of 20 to 80 % to maintain the functionality of the print head.
