New Design of HP Cartridges Released

While not available in Australia at the moment, HP has released the HP901 and HP60 series cartridges. These cartridges represent the first new integrated print head from HP since 2004. Fabricated using new materials and using what HP calls ‘resistor innovation’ which supports a higher firing frequency of 24 KHz compared to 18 KHz previously. Essentially this allows for faster firing of the ink drop process.
 
The 901 Black cartridges has 336 Nozzles, each capable of firing 24 000 drops per second of pigment black ink

The 901 Colour cartridge has 1248 nozzles. Two different size nozzles are in the colour cartridge producing 1.5 and 5 picolitre drop sizes. Previously the 90 Series colour ink cartridges could only produce 5 picolitre drop sizes, so 1.5 picolitre is similar size to Canons smallest drop size cartridge.
