Printheads and Printhead Cleaners
   

The HP Printheads for the HP DesignJet 5000 and 5500 series are extremely durable and do not need to be replaced every time an Ink Cartridge is replaced. They are independent of the Ink Cartridges and will continue giving excellent image quality results even if the Ink Cartridges are low on ink. See When Should You Replace the HP Ink Supplies?

If you notice a decline in print quality such as lines or dots missing from text / graphics, See Print Quality.

The HP Printhead Cleaners keep the Printheads in good condition and they prevent them from being damaged when the Printer is not active. They service the Printheads, making sure they are always ready to be used.
