HP 80 Printheads

Everything You Need To Know Before Buying An HP 80 Printhead

The printhead is considered one of the most critical parts of every printer system since it is what moves back and forth within the printer to write the ink onto the surface of the paper. HP printheads can be replaced, so if you need a new printhead, you fortunately do not have to replace the entire printer. There are plenty of HP 80 printheads on eBay, and here is everything you need to know about buying one on eBay.

Printheads are designed to last through years of use, but after a few years, a replacement may become necessary as print quality visibly diminishes or error messages begin to display regarding the printhead. When you are ready to replace your printhead, remove the ink cartridges from the carriage, and then lift the latch on the printhead assembly. Now you can completely remove the printhead from the printhead slot. Use the wipes that come with the replacement printhead to clean the contacts inside the printhead slot. Then, remove the new printhead from its packaging and insert the printhead upright into the printer in the exact same arrangement as the original printhead. Close the latch and replace the ink cartridges.

Sometimes printheads can get clogged over time with old ink. There is a clean printhead option built into the internal printer system. If this option doesn't work to restore overall print quality, you can also use printhead-friendly HP wipes, which come with new HP 80 printheads or sold separately. When your HP 80 Printhead stops working properly, you can always find replacement HP 80 Printheads available on eBay.
