Difference between HP 771 and HP 773 inks?

One of our customers was buying also ink for their Z6800 Designjet plotter and confused by which ink set to order as the documentation states our model is compatible with both HP771 or HP773 ink cartridges although only explicitly lists HP773 cartridge numbers in the compatibility matrix.

The only differences between the two-ink series other than HP771 uses light cyan and HP773 uses cyan.

Yes, you can use the Light cyan from the HP771 for the Cyan of the HP773, there is no difference. So the Light Cyan for the 773 you can use for the Cyan from the 773 (HP DesignJet Z6800).

For the HP771 you have 4 printhead and for the HP773 you have only 1 printhead, it ok to mix and match 771 and 773 inks and printheads.
