Description
HP 738 Black Ink 498N4A 130 mL DesignJet Ink Cartridge
HP 738 black ink 498N4A is a genuine HP pigment ink cartridge built for consistent, professional results on compatible HP DesignJet printers. Black ink is the workhorse color for technical output, driving line clarity, text readability, and overall contrast on CAD drawings, plan sets, and everyday documents. If prints begin to look gray, text becomes less readable, or black areas show uneven density, replacing your HP 738 black cartridge is one of the simplest ways to bring output back to a clean, predictable standard.
This 130 mL cartridge is commonly used in the HP DesignJet T870 and HP DesignJet XT870 series. These printers are often relied on for steady production, so dependable ink performance matters when deadlines are tight. Genuine HP pigment ink is designed for controlled ink delivery that helps maintain crisp linework and consistent coverage, reducing reprints caused by streaking, weak blacks, or uneven fills. When your workflow includes drawings, revisions, and repeat prints that must match, HP 738 black helps keep results consistent from the first sheet to the last.
The 130 mL size is a practical fit for day to day printing where you want a fresh supply on hand and quick changeouts when needed. For AEC teams, schools, and workgroups producing plans, diagrams, and presentations, black ink performance is the difference between “good enough” and truly readable output. Keeping genuine supplies in rotation helps protect print quality, reduce troubleshooting time, and keep your printer producing the clean results you expect.
