What ink does the HP DesignJet T120 need, and 5 compatible models

Looking for ink for your HP DesignJet T120, T520 or any of their versions? The cartridge you need is the HP 711. Our compatible version yields 1,200 ISO pages with the same line sharpness and colour fidelity as the original, but paying only a fraction of the price. See the compatible HP 711 ink and check the current price.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The HP 711 is the ink cartridge family fitted to all the HP DesignJet plotters of this range. If you have any of these models, it's your cartridge:

• HP DesignJet T120
• HP DesignJet T125
• HP DesignJet T130
• HP DesignJet T520
• HP DesignJet T525
• HP DesignJet T530

How do they differ? The T120 / T125 / T130 series are entry-level large-format plotters, and the rising numbers correspond to successive revisions of the same machine. The T520 / T525 / T530 series expands the features, with a wider print width and more memory for heavy CAD or GIS files. The key point: whatever changes between versions, they all share exactly the same HP 711 cartridge, so you don't have to worry about the reference. If you have doubts about your model, use our printer finder.

The consumable you need and what it yields

The ink you need is the Startoner compatible HP 711 cartridge, with a yield of 1,200 pages measured to the ISO/IEC 24711 standard, the official yield benchmark for inkjet cartridges. It's the same protocol used to measure the original, so the comparison is real, not marketing.

We make every cartridge under ISO 9001 quality control so the line comes out precise and the colours faithful, something crucial when you print plans, maps or renders where a millimetre matters. If you want to see all the technical details, you have the complete guide to the compatible HP 711.

How much printing costs you

Here's the reason compatible ink exists: same yield, same ISO standard, much less money. With the compatible HP 711 you print the same 1,200 pages as with the original while paying a fraction of what the branded cartridge costs. Multiply it by every refill over the plotter's life and the saving becomes serious.

Frequently asked questions

Does the compatible HP 711 work the same as the original in my DesignJet?

Yes. It's designed to work exactly the same in the T120, T125, T130, T520, T525 and T530 models: it installs the same way, the plotter recognises it and the print quality is equivalent to that of the original cartridge.

How many pages does the cartridge print?

It yields 1,200 pages measured to the ISO/IEC 24711 standard, the same standard the original manufacturers use. The real yield depends on the ink coverage of your documents: a linear plan uses less than a full-colour render.

Does using compatible ink void my printer's warranty?

No. Under article 120 of RLD 1/2007 (the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users), using a compatible consumable does not void your machine's warranty; the manufacturer cannot force you to buy only its brand. You have more detail on our guarantee page.

How long does shipping take?

We ship within 24-48h to mainland Spain, and shipping is free from €50 of purchase. That way you have the ink ready before your current cartridge runs out.
