The retailer shown comes first in the ranking (by price including shipping when every priced retailer's shipping is known); the price shown excludes shipping and sales tax.

Which black cartridge suits you?

Standard black makes sense if you print little or don't want an opened cartridge sitting around for long. XL is more practical for regular documents, schoolwork or household paperwork. Double the yield doesn't automatically mean half the cost: divide the current price by 120 and 240 — the table above does that for you.

Combining black with tri-color

The capacity doesn't have to match in both positions. If you mostly print text, you can run HP 67XL Black alongside a standard HP 67 Tri-color cartridge — HP sells exactly that pair as the 3YP30AN combo.

If black won't print

A blank print doesn't always mean an empty cartridge. Check the error message, the seating and that all protective tape is off; don't touch the contacts or the nozzles. See cartridge not recognized.

HP 67 black questions

Should I buy HP 67 or HP 67XL?

67 and 67XL fit the same printers and print equally well. The difference is the amount of ink: HP states about 120 pages (black) and 100 pages (tri-color) for the standard cartridges, and about 240 and 200 pages for the XL versions (ISO/IEC 24711, continuous printing). Whether XL is cheaper per page depends only on the current price divided by that yield — we work that out with the prices checked now, not with a rule of thumb.

Can I use an HP 67 and an HP 67XL in the same printer?

Yes. The printer checks each position (black or tri-color) for a valid cartridge; standard or XL makes no difference to it. A common combination is XL for the color you use up fastest and standard for the other — HP even sells that pairing as one box (3YP30AN: 67XL Black + 67 Tri-color).

Is the HP 67 2-pack (3YP29AN) cheaper than two single cartridges?

The official 2-pack 3YP29AN contains one standard black and one standard tri-color cartridge. Whether it's cheaper than buying them separately depends on the current pack price versus the sum of the single prices — compare both before you buy. HP doesn't sell an HP 67XL 2-pack in the US; its US-only combo 3YP30AN pairs one 67XL Black with one standard 67 Tri-color.

How do I work out the cost per page of an HP 67 cartridge?

Cost per page = cartridge price ÷ stated page yield. For HP 67 Black (3YM56AN, about 120 pages) and HP 67XL Black (3YM57AN, about 240 pages), divide each current price by its yield. HP's yield is an average under ISO/IEC 24711 with continuous printing; with occasional printing or lots of color photos your real yield can differ.

Will I always get HP 67's stated page yield?

Not necessarily. HP's figure (120/100/240/200 pages) is an average measured under ISO/IEC 24711 by printing a test document continuously. Occasional printing, cleaning cycles after long idle periods and pages with heavy color coverage all reduce the real yield compared with HP's figure.
