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 PageWide XL 3950 MFP take?

It takes rolls 11–40 in wide. The spindle holds a finished roll up to 177 mm in diameter, which is what separates a 150 ft roll from a 300 ft roll of the same paper.

Does the HP PageWide XL 3950 MFP use dye or pigment ink?

The HP PageWide XL 3950 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 PageWide XL 3950 MFP?

We hold 144 paper and media products verified against this machine, 117 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.

How do you know these supplies fit the HP PageWide XL 3950 MFP?

Nothing on this page is matched by model name alone: the cartridges and printheads come from the manufacturer's own published supply listing for this exact model and each paper and media roll is checked against 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. If a part is not listed here, it has not been verified for this machine — call 980-536-0080 and we will check it before you order.
