Title: Z3200 Printhead Replacement
Post by: PeterOReilly on November 11, 2020, 12:43:19 pm
I have a 24" Z3200 printer which has not been used for a while, and the black half of the black/red printhead is not printing. I have ordered two copies of the No.70 printhead (C9409A) but both show as faulty when I install them. The original head (the clogged one) is a No.73 (CD949A), and does not show a fault when installed.

Should I be using a No.73 printhead instead of the No.70?

Thanks for any help.

yes you need the chrtomatic red head  HP 73 (CD949A) for the Z3200.
The red ink formula changed from z3100 to z3200 to have a better red gamut on matte papers.
You are not the first with this problem.

Yes! The 70 is only for the Z3100. You need the 73. This is a common mistake which after many years of using these I made myself recently. It will allow you to install it but it won’t recognize it.

You can send all the mistakenly bought HP 70 R-MK printheads to me - if not used...  :)

Thanks for the replies - I'll have to get a 73 head ordered!
