HP DesignJet T1100 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your HP DesignJet T1100, which uses the HP 72 and 72B ink cartridges series along with C9380A/C9383A-C9384A print heads. Designed for CAD line-work and GIS mapping, this wide-format plotter relies on crisp detail. Ink Depot has been supplying consumables for this printer since Aug 2012. Our 4.8 Google rating is built on dependable cartridge performance and uncompromising product quality. Detailed plans deplete 72B (3WX06A) black faster than 72 (C9371A) colour inks.
Expected Output and Cartridge Usage
Large-format ink consumption varies significantly based on line density, graphic shading, and paper width. ISO yield standards measure baseline coverage, but full-bleed posters consume ink considerably faster than draft technical vector drawings.
Print Head Replacement Units
The HP DesignJet T1100 utilises separate C9380A/C9383A-C9384A print heads to maintain microscopic droplet accuracy across large print spans. Experience Tip: Print heads operate independently of ink cartridges and typically last through multiple ink cartridge changes before requiring replacement.
Choosing Cartridges and Stocking Options
For high-volume CAD drafting, purchasing multipacks containing 72B (3WX06A) black cartridges reduces replacement intervals. If you produce full-colour GIS renders or presentation graphics, keeping spare 72 (C9371A) cyan, 72 (C9372A) magenta, and 72 (C9373A) yellow ink on hand prevents print job interruptions mid-plot. Stocking genuine HP ink cartridges ensures exact colour matching across wide media rolls. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, dispatched quickly from our warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. All orders are backed by our Returns policy.
Pro Tip
Always replace depleted ink cartridges promptly when notified, as running large-format thermal inkjet print heads completely dry can cause nozzle burnout and permanent output banding.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do 72 and 72B ink cartridges differ in the HP DesignJet T1100?
The 72 and 72B designations refer to specific colour formulations within the ink system, where 72 covers standard chromatic colours like cyan, magenta, and yellow, while 72B designates black and photo grey ink cartridges designed for dark line contrast and smooth tonal gradations.
Can I replace individual HP 72 ink cartridges as they run out, or do they need to be replaced together?
Cartridges can be replaced individually as each colour depletes. The DesignJet T1100 tracks each cartridge's ink level independently, allowing you to swap out 72B (3WX06A) black without affecting remaining colour cartridges.
How do I know when the C9380A print head needs replacing versus an ink cartridge?
The printer alerts you when print head health declines or when automatic nozzle cleaning cycles fail to correct drop alignment or streaking on prints, whereas ink warnings specifically indicate liquid volume depletion inside the 72 or 72B cartridges.
