What ink does the HP PageWide Pro 452dwt need, and 3 compatible models

Looking for ink for your HP PageWide Pro 452dwt or any machine in its family? The consumable you need is the HP 973XL. Our compatible version yields 10,000 pages with the same print quality and for a fraction of the original's price. See the compatible HP 973XL ink.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The HP 973XL is the ink cartridge fitted to the PageWide printers of this family. If you have any of these models, it's the reference you're looking for:

• HP PageWide Managed P55250dw
• HP PageWide Managed P57750dw
• HP PageWide Pro 452dwt
• HP PageWide Pro 477dwt

All these machines use the same PageWide ink system, so the cartridge is interchangeable between them. The letters at the end of the name only indicate each machine's equipment, not a different consumable: the "d" is double-sided (duplex) printing, the "w" is wifi and the "t" an extra paper tray. The "Managed" series are designed for managed print environments and the "Pro" ones for office and SME, but both share the HP 973XL. Not sure of the exact model? Use our printer finder to confirm it in seconds.

The consumable you need and what it yields

The compatible HP 973XL ink is a high-capacity (XL) cartridge: it yields 10,000 pages measured to the ISO/IEC 24711 standard, the international benchmark that sets how the real life of an inkjet cartridge is calculated. It's a very high yield, designed for the volume of the PageWide machines, which are built precisely to print a lot and fast at a low cost per page.

Being the XL version, it's the most cost-effective option for these machines: the more pages a cartridge yields, the less often you change it and the less you pay per print. If you want to review the technical details and the most common questions about this reference, you have the complete guide to the compatible HP 973XL.

How much printing costs you

The advantage of compatible ink is simple: you get the same yield as the original cartridge —those 10,000 pages— while paying much less for each replacement. Print after print, the difference versus the original is especially noticeable on high-volume machines like the PageWide, where you'll change cartridge fairly often.

Frequently asked questions

Does the compatible HP 973XL work in my PageWide without problems?

Yes. It's made to work exactly like the original in the PageWide Managed P55250dw and P57750dw models and in the PageWide Pro 452dwt and 477dwt. It installs the same way and your printer recognises it normally.

How many pages does a cartridge print?

It yields 10,000 pages to the ISO/IEC 24711 standard, the same benchmark by which original inkjet cartridges are measured. It's a high-capacity (XL) cartridge, ideal for the volume of these printers.

Does using compatible ink void the printer's warranty?

No. Article 120 of RLD 1/2007 (the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users) protects your right to use compatible consumables without losing the machine's warranty. The manufacturer cannot force you to buy only its brand. You have more detail on our guarantee page.
