Rated 5 out of 5 by Chuck Pi from Works perfectly. I bought this printhead recently to replace an old one in my HP Designjet z3200ps photo printer. It has worked well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Photomagica from Excellent Product - with one caution I've had an HP z3200 printer since 2010. Even 9 years later it is a truly excellent machine. One reason is that the print heads are easily changeable and relatively inexpensive - about the price of a single ink cartridge. The caution is that the HP 73 Matte Black and Chromatic Red Printhead is less robust than the others in the set. I find I have to replace this head about twice a often as the others due to the head leaking or irreparably clogging. It still lasts well - just not as exceptionally well as the other heads.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 888PrintingLady from New Print Head to fix Clogged Nozzle Issue The New Print Head was able to fix the issue we had with our Z3200 printer. It was not printing the correct colors, which was from clogged nozzles in the head and after trying several times to clean, found replacing the head to solve the issue. Was quite happy that we could buy on-line since none of our dealers stock or seem to support large format HP Z series any more-so Happy to be able to finally find this part!
