If you have shopped at the Prizma Graphics online store previously for inks and printheads, the chances are that you will already appreciate our commitment to providing the right solutions for your printing needs – including in relation to HP DesignJet printers.

On that note, we felt it important to draw our customers’ attentions to the fact that HP is planning to cease producing its No. 82 inks and No. 11 printheads by the end of this year.

That, of course, means that if you will imminently need to replenish your stocks of either product – which are so instrumental in the efforts of those using HP DesignJet printers to achieve high-quality colour and the utmost speed and convenience – we would advise you to shop for them now.

What are the merits of these ink cartridges and printheads?

HP’s No. 82 ink cartridges and No. 11 printheads both fit the 500, 510, and 800 models of DesignJet printer, and have both long been invaluable for the operators of these machines seeking to get the best out of them for the purposes of business printing.

The No. 82 inks, for example, are provided in 69ml cartridges and are available in hues such as cyan and magenta. The variants that are set to be discontinued by 2023 include C4911A, C4912A, C4844A, and C565A.

In the case of the No. 11 printheads, meanwhile, the products that will no longer be available come under the codes C4810A, C4811A, C4812A, and C4813A. These printheads are noted for their use of ultra-small ink drop technology, and their incorporation of a smart chip that optimises print quality and monitors the health of the printhead.

The No. 11 printheads are also very easy to replace, which enables the user to keep on being sure of impressively clear and sharp print output. They can be purchased in colours including black, cyan, magenta, and yellow – again, while stocks last.

What options are available once these stocks run out?

The bad news is that once the No. 11 printheads and No. 82 ink cartridges cease to be available, this will render your HP DesignJet 500, 510 or 800 obsolete – at least as far as HP is concerned.

So, what’s the good news? The good news is that here at Prizma Graphics, we will always be dedicated to helping print users like yourself to obtain the right solutions for their needs. 

If you require any of the aforementioned HP products and you cannot find stocks of them, please let us know, and will help find you the best replacements. You are welcome to send us an email or give us a call on 01296 393700.
