Rated 1 out of 5 by Cynthia123 from May not work for the XT950 MFP I bought the 738 ink which is recommended on the HP website for the xt950 MFP printer. It was not compatible and the printer would not accept it. Customer service explained that I needed a special ink 738M because I bought my printer from a dealer. Cartridge looks the same just different programming in the chip. So, $9,000 on a printer and I can't even buy ink directly from HP. Had to wait another week for ink and my customers had to wait too. In general, DON"T BUY AN HP!!

Using the T850 plotter and the 738 300-ml black cartridge, approximately how many D size sheets would I be able to print assume this is a basic architectural floor plan with no color.

Asked by: mark master
Thank you for your question! No estimates are available on prints, as prints use inks to varying degrees.
