HP 73 CD949A Printhead Matte Black Chromatic Red

HP 73 Printhead Matte Black Chromatic Red

This HP 73 printhead supplies matte black and chromatic red channels for compatible HP DesignJet printers. It is intended for professionals producing photographic prints, fine-art reproductions and proofing work where precise colour accuracy matters. The pigment-based ink formulation supports archival-grade output on a range of coated and fine-art media.

Capacity and headroom

The printhead uses a 4 pl ink drop to render fine detail and smooth tonal transitions across both colour channels. Built-in intelligent technology makes automatic adjustments to maintain consistent quality throughout the head's service life and provides timely alerts when replacement is needed. It runs out when the nozzles can no longer fire reliably or when the alert indicates end of life.

Build fit and freedoms

The unit installs directly into the printer's printhead carriage without extra tools or calibration steps. HP reliability reduces waste and rework, freeing operator time and lowering the cost per print. It is not suited for printers that do not accept the HP 73 series or for workflows requiring additional colour channels beyond matte black and chromatic red.
