Product Information

Full details

This HP 738 Cyan Original Standard Capacity Ink Cartridge is for users of HP DesignJet T850 and T950 series printers who need to produce high-quality, durable large format prints. Its key benefit is delivering vibrant, accurate cyan colors with smudge and water resistance for professional technical drawings, posters, and graphics. A potential caveat is that it is a standard yield cartridge, which may require more frequent replacement in very high-volume environments compared to high-yield options.

Poor print quality (streaky, faded cyan)

Run a printhead cleaning cycle through the printer's control panel or software. Ensure the correct paper type is selected in the print settings. Check if the ink cartridge is low or empty. If the issue persists after cleaning, the printhead may require service.
