FAQs

What is the difference between pigment-based ink and dye-based ink?

Pigment-based ink uses solid particles suspended in a liquid, providing greater durability, water resistance, and fade resistance compared to dye-based ink, which dissolves in the liquid. This makes pigment inks ideal for archival and professional applications.

How long can I expect prints made with this cartridge to last?

Prints made with the HP 747 Grey Original DesignJet Ink Cartridge are rated to last over 200 years in dark storage, offering excellent longevity for valuable documents and artwork.

Can I use this cartridge with any HP DesignJet printer?

No, this cartridge is specifically designed for the HP DesignJet Z9+ Series printers. Always check your printer's specifications for confirmed compatibility.

What does 'Standard Yield' mean for this cartridge?

'Standard Yield' indicates the cartridge is designed for typical professional use. It provides a balance between ink volume and the frequency of replacement, suitable for regular printing tasks.

How should I store an unused HP 747 ink cartridge?

Store unused cartridges in their original, sealed packaging in a cool, dry environment (storage temperature: -40 to 60 °C) away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Is this cartridge suitable for color printing?

No, the HP 747 (P2V86A) is a dedicated grey ink cartridge. For full-color printing, you will need to use it in conjunction with other color ink cartridges compatible with your HP DesignJet Z9+ Series printer.

What is the operating temperature for this ink cartridge?

The recommended operating temperature for this ink cartridge is between 20 to 25 °C (68 to 77 °F).

Troubleshooting

Printer not recognizing the new cartridge

Ensure the cartridge is correctly seated. Remove and reinsert it, checking for any obstructions. Clean the electrical contacts on both the cartridge and the printer carriage with a dry, lint-free cloth. Restart the printer.

Print quality is poor (streaks, missing lines)

Run the printer's built-in cleaning cycle. Perform print head alignment. Check that the correct media type is selected in the print driver settings. Ensure the ink has not expired.

Ink level shows as empty or very low immediately after installation

This can sometimes happen if the cartridge was stored improperly or if there was a communication error. Try restarting the printer and re-seating the cartridge. Contact HP support if the issue persists.
