Genuine HP 981A Magenta Cartridge

This original HP 981A magenta ink cartridge carries part number J3M69A and delivers an approximate yield of 6000 pages. It is designed for businesses that rely on HP PageWide 556 or 586 series printers for consistent colour output. The dye-based formulation uses an 8.11 pl drop size for sharp detail on every print.

Printer compatibility and environment

Verify that your device belongs to the HP PageWide 556 or 586 series before ordering, as this cartridge is engineered specifically for those models. Ensure the operating environment stays between 41 and 95°F with 10 to 90% relative humidity for reliable performance. Store unused units within 0 to 100% RH and -40 to 140°F to preserve ink quality.

Thermal behaviour and power

As a passive ink supply, the cartridge generates no heat and produces no audible noise during printing. Power draw is limited to the printer’s internal carriage system and adds no measurable load. The dye-based ink remains stable across the specified temperature range, preventing clogging or leakage in normal office use.
