Why choose the genuine HP 973X ink cartridge
Genuine HP 973X cartridge, cyan, high yield. Ink formulated for the print head of these printers: faithful colors, fast drying, no clogged nozzles. The printer recognizes the cartridge and shows the remaining ink level.
One capacity only
The HP 973 series comes in a single capacity for this color (7,000 pages). Other colors: L0S07AE, F6T82AE, F6T83AE.
Printers compatible with the F6T81AE
The F6T81AE is compatible with 6 HP models (manufacturer list):
- HP PageWide Pro 477dw multifunktionsskrivare och fack (W2Z53B)
- HP PageWide Pro 477dw multifunktionsskrivare (D3Q20B)
- HP PageWide Pro 477dn multifunktionsskrivare (D3Q19B)

- HP PageWide Pro 452dw-skrivare (D3Q16B)
- HP PageWide Managed P55250dw-skrivare (J6U55B)
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.
Page yield
7,000 pages per ISO/IEC 24711 (5% coverage per color, letter-type documents). Graphics or photo-heavy pages reduce the actual yield. The cost per page shown next to the price is calculated from the current price and this yield.
Installation and maintenance
Replace with the printer on: open the cartridge door, wait for the carriage to stop, press the empty cartridge to release it, unpack the new one, remove the orange tab without touching contacts or nozzles, insert until it clicks and close; the printer aligns the cartridges if needed. Used cartridges: free return through HP Planet Partners.
Use and tips
The F6T81AE suits intensive or shared use: the cartridge (7,000 pages) lasts over 5 years at 100 pages per month and about a year and a half at 300 pages per month.
Keep the printer plugged in and on: it maintains its nozzles and uses very little power in standby; print a color page every two weeks. Store cartridges in their packaging away from heat and install them before the printed date. At the "Ink low" alert, order; the printer prints until it stops. Genuine cartridges protect the print head and the HP warranty; a cartridge bought for another region is not recognized.
