Key Facts

What's in the Box

Compatible Printers (7 models)

• HP DesignJet Z2100

Don't mix these up: HP 70 (130 ml) is not the same part as HP 72 (DesignJet T-series) or the larger HP 772 300-ml cartridges used in the Z5200/Z5400. Matte black (C9448A) and photo black (C9449A) are different inks for different paper types, and each has its own slot. Use matte black for matte, fine-art and coated papers, and photo black for glossy and satin media.

Chips, Printer Messages & Installation

Printheads are separate: HP 70 ink cartridges feed HP 70 printheads, which are sold separately. Matte black prints through the HP 70 Matte Black & Cyan printhead (C9404A).

Printer messages: these are remanufactured from genuine HP 70 cartridges and keep the original HP chip. If the printer shows a non-HP, refilled or expired-ink message, acknowledge it on the front panel to continue printing. If a cartridge isn't recognized, remove it, wipe the chip contacts with a lint-free cloth and reinstall it firmly in the matching color slot.

Before installing: gently shake the cartridge a few times, since pigment ink can settle during storage.

Still stuck? See our guide to fixing a cartridge that isn't recognized or contact us and we'll make it right.

Remanufactured vs. Compatible vs. Original

Original (OEM) cartridges are new from the printer brand and cost the most. Remanufactured cartridges, like this one, start as genuine original shells (including the original chip) that are cleaned, refilled with high-quality ink and print-tested, so they fit and communicate like the original at a fraction of the price. Compatible cartridges are built new by a third party with their own chip. Castle Ink sells remanufactured inkjet cartridges and compatible (newly manufactured) toner.
