Frequently asked questions

Which ink cartridges fit the HP DesignJet XL 3800 MFP?
The HP DesignJet XL 3800 MFP takes HP 841/874/876 PageWide XL Maintenance Cartridge and HP 886 3-liter White Latex Ink Cartridge. Every cartridge listed on this page comes from the manufacturer's supply listing for this model.
What roll widths and core sizes does the HP DesignJet XL 3800 MFP take?
It takes rolls up to 36 in wide on 3 in cores. The spindle holds a finished roll up to 180 mm in diameter, which is what separates a 150 ft roll from a 300 ft roll of the same paper.
Does the HP DesignJet XL 3800 MFP use dye or pigment ink?
The HP DesignJet XL 3800 MFP runs aqueous pigment ink. Pigment ink sits on the surface as solid particles, so prints are more water- and fade-resistant than dye — the reason it is the standard for technical and fine-art output.
What paper can I use in the HP DesignJet XL 3800 MFP?
We hold 113 paper and media products verified against this machine, 90 of them at the recommended tier, where compatibility is resolved from the printer's published media handling — roll width, core size, the roll diameter the spindle holds and the coating's rating for this machine's ink. The rest come from the supply list the manufacturer publishes for this machine. Either way a roll only appears here if a source says it fits.
Do you sell printheads for the HP DesignJet XL 3800 MFP?
Yes — 4 genuine printhead products for this model are listed above. If you are not sure which channel has failed, call 980-536-0080 and we will work it out from the machine's error code.
