Wide-Format Ink Tip for Technical Printing

Frequently Asked Questions
Can 712B black cartridges be used interchangeably with regular 712 black cartridges?
The DesignJet T230 is designed to use the 712B (3ED29A) 80ml black ink cartridge. Unlike standard colour 712 cartridges, the 712B black formulation provides sharp pigment-based blacks tailored for fine line accuracy and blueprint durability.
Why do colour cartridges deplete when printing black-and-white CAD drawings?
Wide-format DesignJet printers perform routine maintenance cycles to keep printhead nozzles clear and maintain precise line output. Small amounts of ink from 712 (3ED67A) cyan, 712 (3ED68A) magenta, and 712 (3ED69A) yellow cartridges are used during these cycles to prevent micro-clogging.
Do 3-pack 712 colour cartridges contain the same ink volume as individual cartridges?
Yes, 3-packs such as 712 (3ED77A) cyan contain three standard 29ml cartridges. Ordering 3-packs provides spare cartridges on standby during large rendering runs without needing individual replacement orders.
