The HP No. 81 and HP No. 83 Supplies
The HP No. 81 and HP No. 83 supplies are designed to
work together with your HP Designjet 5000PS or 5000
printer. The type of supplies you receive with your
printer depends on the type of ink system you
specified; normal dye based ink or pigment-based UV
ink. The components of the normal dye based ink are
called the HP No. 81 Supplies and the component of
the pigment-based UV ink are called the HP No. 83 UV
Ink Supplies.
HP No. 81 Ink Supplies (Dye based)
The HP No. 81 Ink Supplies also referred to as Imaging
Ink, they are designed to deliver sharp brilliant images
with ultimate image quality performance.
HP No. 83 Ink Supplies (UV)
The HP No. 83 ink supplies also referred to as UV
Pigmented Inks, they are designed to deliver bright and
colorful outdoor light fast signs and posters that are
resistant to ultra violet light.
The Components
Both ink systems consist of three
components: printheads with their printhead
cleaners and the ink cartridges. The printer
uses six of each.
Each 600-dpi thermal inkjet printhead applies
thousands of ink droplets onto the paper. The printer
automatically refills the printhead as it prints, enabling
continuous uninterrupted printing. The ink is supplied
to each printhead from a separate large capacity ink
cartridge. The colors are Light Cyan, Light Magenta,
Yellow, Cyan, Magenta and Black.
The printer uses printhead cleaners to clean and
maintain the printheads, to ensure best possible image
quality, and to seal the printheads when they are not in
use to ensure long life.
Printhead life is warranted to 700ml of ink consumed.
However, on average the anticipated life expectancy of
the printheads is two or three times this. This is
provided that the printhead is used under normal
operating conditions (using HP ink cartridges only) and
its “install before date” has not lapsed. However results
vary depending on the print mode setting you use.
