About HP 871 3-liter ink
We don't sell HP 871 3-liter cartridges. If you run the 3-liter size, buy genuine HP 871 from an HP dealer. HP's supplies list for the Latex 570 also includes the HP 831 775 ml inks and Latex Optimizer, and we sell those remanufactured.
HP Latex 570 Ink Cartridges at a Glance
| Cartridge (Castle Ink link) | Part No. | Size |
|---|---|---|
| HP 831 Black | CZ682A | 775 ml |
| HP 831 Cyan | CZ683A | 775 ml |
| HP 831 Magenta | CZ684A | 775 ml |
| HP 831 Yellow | CZ685A | 775 ml |
| HP 831 Light Cyan | CZ686A | 775 ml |
| HP 831 Light Magenta | CZ687A | 775 ml |
| HP 831 Latex Optimizer | CZ706A | 775 ml |
Every one of the seven slots must hold a cartridge for the printer to run. The Latex Optimizer is not optional — it is a clear fluid that fixes the colored inks to the media surface, so prints come out sharp on vinyl, banner and other non-porous materials.
The Latex 570 is HP's 64-inch high-volume latex printer for signs, banners, vehicle wraps, wall coverings and textiles. HP has discontinued it, and most units now sell used or refurbished.
775 ml or 3-Liter: Which Should You Use?
HP's Latex 570 datasheet lists both the HP 831 775 ml cartridges and the HP 871 3-liter cartridges in its supplies. The 3-liter size means fewer swaps on long, unattended print runs. The 775 ml size costs far less up front, is easier to keep on the shelf in every color, and is the size remanufactured cartridges come in — which is where the savings are. Many shops run 775 ml in the colors they use less and keep the 3-liter size only for the colors they burn through fastest. Check that your printer's cartridge slots are set up for the size you plan to buy before you order.
The same HP 831 775 ml cartridges fit the Latex 310, 315, 330, 335, 360, 365, 370 and 560 too. See our HP Latex 365, HP Latex 335 and HP Latex 315 guides if you run more than one.
Other HP 831 Supplies
The Latex 570 also uses four HP 831 printheads: Cyan/Black (CZ677A), Yellow/Magenta (CZ678A), Light Cyan/Light Magenta (CZ679A) and Optimizer (CZ680A). These are long-life parts you replace far less often than ink.
How to Replace Ink in the HP Latex 570
- Wait for the front panel to report an empty cartridge, or open the ink menu and choose to replace one.
- Open the ink cartridge drawer or cover for the color you are replacing.
- Pull the empty cartridge straight out.
- Shake the new cartridge gently a few times before installing it — ink settles while a cartridge sits on the shelf.
- Push the new cartridge into the slot that matches its color label until it locks, then close the cover.
- Check the front panel to confirm the cartridge is recognized before you start the next job.
Troubleshooting Tips
Cartridge not recognized: Reseat the cartridge firmly and check it is in the slot that matches its color label.
Prints smear or stay tacky: Check the Optimizer cartridge first, then confirm the curing temperature and media preset match the material. Latex ink needs the Optimizer and correct curing to set properly.
Banding or missing colors: Run the printhead cleaning and alignment routines from the front panel. If a color is still missing, check the matching HP 831 printhead.
What Latex 570 owners ask
These are the questions that come up most for this printer on retailer Q&A pages, HP's support forum and owner reviews, answered in our words.
Can I change an ink cartridge without stopping a print?
Yes. Dealer listings say the 570's cartridges can be hot-swapped while it prints.
How fast does it print?
Up to 980 ft²/hr at top speed and about 248 ft²/hr in indoor-quality mode.
What is the heaviest roll it can take?
Rolls 10 to 64 inches wide, weighing up to 55 kg (121 lb).
Does it calibrate color on its own?
Yes. It has a built-in i1 spectrophotometer for automatic color calibration.
What power does it need?
200 to 240 V on two power cords, up to 13 A per cord. Plan the circuit before it arrives.
Latex 570 quirks worth knowing
- Roll loading is spindleless, with a pneumatic pivot table, so one person can load a roll in under a minute.
- An OMAS media-advance sensor keeps registration accurate, even on low-cost media.
- It weighs 551 lb, which makes moving or reselling one a real job.
- HP 871C 3-liter inks are sold only for the Latex 370 and 570, so they are harder to find than 775 ml HP 831 cartridges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the HP Latex 570 use HP 831 or HP 871?
Both sizes are listed for it: HP 831 775 ml and HP 871 3-liter. Use the size your printer's slots are set up for.
Can I print without the Latex Optimizer?
No. All seven cartridges, including the Optimizer, must be installed.
Does the Latex 570 use the same printheads as the Latex 300 series?
Yes. It uses the same four HP 831 printhead types.
Does using remanufactured cartridges void my warranty?
No. Under the U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer cannot void your printer warranty only because you used third-party cartridges. Damage proven to be caused by a specific cartridge would not be covered, but the rest of the warranty still applies. Service contracts (HP Care Packs) can carry their own terms, so check yours.
