FAQ
What is the page yield of this HP 972A ink cartridge?
This HP 972A (F6T80AN) Original Page Wide Ink Cartridge has a typical print yield of 3500 pages. This yield represents the estimated number of pages that can be printed under standard testing conditions, providing a reliable benchmark for supply planning and cost-per-page calculations in business environments.
Which printers are compatible with this HP Page Wide cartridge?

Specific compatible models include the PageWide Pro 452dn, 452dw, 477dn, 477dw, 552dw, 577dw, and 577z multifunction printers. Always verify compatibility with your specific printer model before purchasing.
What is the difference between pigment black and dye-based black ink?
Pigment black ink, like that used in this HP 972A cartridge, contains solid pigment particles that sit on the surface of the paper, creating sharper text edges and better water resistance. This makes it ideal for business documents that require professional appearance and durability. Dye-based inks absorb into paper fibers and are typically used for photo printing with broader color gamuts.
How does Page Wide print technology work?
Page Wide print technology uses a stationary printhead that spans the entire width of the paper. Instead of moving back and forth like traditional inkjet printheads, it remains fixed while paper passes beneath it. This design enables faster printing speeds, reduced mechanical wear, and consistent ink placement across the page for reliable document output.
Is this cartridge sold as a single unit or in multipacks?
This HP 972A cartridge is packaged as a single unit (1 Each) in a single pack configuration. It contains one pigment black ink cartridge designed for individual replacement in compatible PageWide Pro printers. This packaging is ideal for maintaining existing printer supplies or replacing a single exhausted cartridge.
What warranty coverage applies to this original HP cartridge?
Original HP PageWide cartridges and printheads are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship during the warranty period. This warranty ensures that genuine HP consumables meet quality standards for performance and reliability when used in compatible HP printers under normal operating conditions.
