The 38′s are a pigment based inkjet cartridge, meaning the ink on your paper is more water resistant (should it get wet), fade resistant, but offers less color range (when compared to a dye based ink). I believe HP has addressed this by mixing some dye based inks in to their pigments to increase the possible color range.

These cartridges work in the HP PhotoSmart Pro series of printers (HP PhotoSmart Pro B8800 Series, HP PhotoSmart Pro B8850, HP PhotoSmart Pro B9180).

The HP 70 inkjet cartridges are actually a series of print heads for use in the same HP PhotoSmart Pro printers, and a few HP DesignJet printers (plotters). These printheads, along with your HP printer, will make automatic and continuous adjustments to optimize your print quality and reliability.

The HP 70 series of printhead’s includes:

HP 70 C9404A Matte Black Cyan Printhead
HP 70 C9405A Light Cyan Light Magenta Printhead
HP 70 C9406A Magenta Yellow Printhead
HP 70 C9407A Photo Black Light Gray Printhead

These cartridges work in all of the HP Photosmart Pro printers, mentioned above, as well as the HP DesignJet Z2100 (24 and 44 inch), HP DesignJet Z3100 series (24 and 44 inch), HP DesignJet Z3200 series (24 and 44 inch).

If you’ve used any of these cartridges, printheads, or printers, let me know what you think about them. Thanks!
