Why choose the genuine HP 738 ink cartridge
Genuine HP 738 ink formulated for the printheads and media of HP DesignJet plotters: fine lines, stable colors, fast drying, no clogged nozzles. Genuine HP formulation for sharp, durable output. The 130 ml cartridge is detected automatically; the plotter tracks the real level and warns before it runs out.
Volume and printheads
130 ml cartridge; the HP 738 series also comes in 300 ml. The ink is fired by the plotter's printhead, replaced only when the machine asks for it.

The series listed include all their variants (24, 36 or 44 inch, PostScript, multifunction); check the HP number of your current cartridges on the plotter's display.
Ink and consumption
130 ml of genuine HP ink; consumption depends on media, coverage and the plotter's quality mode.
Installation and maintenance
Install the cartridge in its color slot with the plotter on; it locks by itself and the level appears on the display. Remove a cartridge only to replace it; opened cartridges keep inside the plotter. Free recycling through HP Planet Partners.
Use and tips
For design offices, architects, surveyors and reprographics departments: plans, maps, posters and renderings on plain, coated or photo paper. The plotter manages levels and warns ahead of an empty cartridge; keep one cartridge of each color in reserve so a plot is never interrupted.
Store cartridges in their packaging between 15 and 35 °C, away from sunlight; install them before the date printed on the box. Leave the plotter powered: it maintains its printheads automatically. Genuine HP ink protects the printheads and the plotter's warranty.
