HP 972A Black Ink Cartridge 64 ml
The HP 972A is an original black ink cartridge designed for HP PageWide printers. It contains 64 ml of dye-based ink and is rated for approximately 3500 pages based on ISO 24711 testing. This single-pack cartridge suits offices that regularly produce professional-quality documents. Buyers who need colour output or a multi-pack should look elsewhere.
Operating conditions and print reliability
The cartridge operates reliably between 59 and 86°F with humidity from 20 to 80% RH. It can be stored from -40 to 140°F under the same humidity range. These tolerances support consistent performance in typical office environments. No power draw or noise figures apply to an ink cartridge.
Sustained high-volume printing
During extended print runs the cartridge maintains consistent output quality at the fast speeds the PageWide platform was built to achieve. The 9.06 pl drop size helps deliver sharp text and graphics across the full 3500-page yield. Offices with heavier monthly volumes may require more frequent replacements or higher-capacity alternatives.

Questions about this item
How do I install the HP 972A cartridge in my PageWide 570 series printer, and what step do people often miss?
Open the front access door, wait for the carriage to stop, push the old cartridge down to release it, then slide the new F6T80AN in until it clicks firmly into place. The step many miss is removing the orange pull-tab and plastic shield completely before insertion.
What maintenance will this 64 ml dye-based cartridge need after the 3500-page yield is reached?
Replace the cartridge when print quality fades or the printer signals low ink. No separate printhead cleaning or maintenance kit is required; the PageWide printhead is fixed and designed to last the printer's life.
At what temperature limit does this cartridge risk degraded performance during long print runs?
Keep the operating temperature between 59 and 86°F. Sustained use above 86°F can cause ink viscosity changes, leading to inconsistent drop placement and reduced print quality.
