  Hello,

  How often do you need to replace HP 5000/5500 printheads (UV ink), in terms of ink liters used or sq. meters printed ?

  Run them till the printer tells you to replace them, or when you notice print quality suffering and you can’t recover them by cleaning the contacts/doing a printhead recover. I get 4 litres out of some and barely one out of others. Average around 2 litres of ink per head I guess.
