HP 730 300-ml Matte Black DesignJet Ink Cartridge
Original HP300 mlMatte Black · pigment-basedT1600 · T1700 · T2600
The HP 730 300-ml Matte Black DesignJet Ink Cartridge is an original HP pigment-based cartridge holding 300 ml of matte black ink for the HP DesignJet T940, T1600 / T1600dr, T1700 / T1700dr, T2600 / T2600dr MFP (incl. PostScript models) and SD Pro 2 MFP. It is aimed at AEC, GIS and in-house print rooms running a T1600/T1700/T2600-class printer at volume, where the 300 ml size means fewer swaps mid-job.
These printers use six HP 730 inks — matte black, photo black, gray, cyan, magenta and yellow — and each cartridge is replaced individually.
Before you order: HP 730 is for the DesignJet T940, T1600, T1700, T2600 and SD Pro 2 generation. HP 727 (T920–T2530) and HP 728 (T730/T830) cartridges do not fit, and HP 730 does not fit those printers.
What's in the Box
- 1 x HP 730 300-ml Matte Black DesignJet Ink Cartridge (P2V71A)
- No printhead — the printhead is a separate part
What It Means in Practice
- Matte black is the ink used for line work and text on plain, bond, tracing and coated papers, giving sharp lines and dense black on uncoated media.
- The 300 ml size is the high-capacity option: fewer cartridge changes and fewer interrupted long jobs than the smaller sizes.
- The printer tracks ink level per cartridge, so you replace only this colour when the printer reports it low.
- Keep the cartridge sealed until you install it and store it at room temperature; the HP supplies warranty runs to the Warranty Ends date shown on the cartridge.
What Will Not Work
- HP DesignJet T920, T930, T1500, T1530, T2500 and T2530 — they take HP 727
- HP DesignJet T730 and T830 MFP — they take HP 728
- HP DesignJet Z6 and Z9+ — they take HP 746 / HP 747 pigment inks

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a printhead included?
No. The box contains the ink cartridge only. the printhead is a separate part.
How many prints will it give?
HP does not publish a page yield for DesignJet ink, because consumption depends on paper type, print quality and how much of each sheet is covered. A line drawing uses a fraction of the ink of a full-colour poster.
Do I replace all colours at once?
No. Each colour is a separate cartridge; replace only the one the printer reports as low or empty.
Matte black or photo black — which do I need?
Both are installed at the same time in printers that use both. Matte black is for plain, bond and coated papers; photo black is for glossy and satin photo media. Order the one whose slot is running low.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
An empty cartridge interrupts a large-format job, so it is worth keeping the next one ready. Check the HP number on your installed cartridges (730) before ordering — HP 727, 728 and 730 look almost the same but are not interchangeable. You will find all the other colours in our
original ink range.
✓ Buy it if your printer is one of the HP DesignJet T940, T1600, T1700, T2600, SD Pro 2 models and the matte black slot is low.
✕ Skip it if your printer takes a different HP number (727, 728, 730, 746 or 72/726) — the cartridge will not fit.
→ Also consider the 130 ml HP 730 cartridge of the same colour if your monthly volume is lower.
