HP 731 DesignJet Printhead for T1700 Series

This HP P2V27A printhead serves HP DesignJet T1700dr 44-in PostScript and T1700 44-in printers. It handles cyan, magenta, yellow, gray, photo black and matte black inks, delivering two colours per head for technical documents on plain paper.

Installation notes and common issues

The printhead slots into the carriage without tools, but the printer must run its alignment routine afterwards. Misalignment shows as banding or colour shift; a clogged nozzle check pattern usually clears with the built-in cleaning cycle.

Compatibility check before ordering

Confirm the printer model matches T1700dr 44-in PostScript (1VD88A#B1K) or T1700 44-in (W6B55A#B1K). Verify the ink set in use is HP Bright Office dye-based for colours and pigment-based for matte black. Ensure the firmware is current so the new head is recognised.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the printhead is operating correctly after installation?

Print a test page and check that line accuracy stays within .1 percent of the specified vector length or .2 mm at 23 degrees C and 50-60 percent humidity.

What comes in the box and what must I purchase separately?

The box contains the HP 731 DesignJet Printhead weighing .1800 lb; the six compatible ink cartridges — cyan, magenta, yellow, gray, photo black and matte black — are sold separately.

Which version should I choose for my 44-inch DesignJet T1700 series printer?

This P2V27A printhead fits both the T1700dr 44-in PostScript and the T1700 44-in models, so select it for either device.
