Print Cartridges

The DesignJet 250C uses the same four print cartridges as does the DesignJet 650C. The

DesignJet 350C uses the same three color print cartridges as does the DesignJet 750C and

755CM plotters andthe same black cartridge as the DesignJet 650C. The DesignJet 230 and

330 plotters use only the black cartridge which is used in the DesignJet 650C.

Distance between Carriage and Media
The distance between the carriage and the writing surface can determine image sharpness. As the

distance increases, the drop shape and directionality degrade and are more difficult to predict. You

can change the distance using the adjusting screw on the carriage. (Details ' chapter 7.)
