HP 774 Light Magenta/Cyan Printhead

The HP P2V98A is a genuine dual-colour printhead designed for compatible HP DesignJet large-format printers. It delivers light magenta and cyan inks through a single user-replaceable unit, supporting dye-based output for photographic and technical applications.

Replacing worn 774 printheads

Swap this unit when the printer signals a replacement alert or when banding and colour shifts appear in line drawings, posters or canvas prints. The jump is worth it when day-one image quality drops below the standard required for high-production graphics, backlits or POP displays.

User-replaceable installation

The printhead installs directly into the carriage without tools; the printer recognises it automatically and runs a brief priming cycle. Common issues include forgetting to remove protective seals, installing while humidity sits outside the 40 to 55% RH range, or skipping the alignment routine that follows the first power-up.
