Decide in this order

  1. confirm your printer uses HP 67 (printer list);
  2. choose black or tri-color;
  3. pick standard or XL for your volume (67 vs 67XL);
  4. compare today's total cost including shipping and sales tax;
  5. for alternatives, check the chip and returns information;
  6. keep the packaging and receipt until the cartridge works reliably.

FAQ: original or compatible

What's the difference between compatible and remanufactured?

'Compatible' is a broad label for an alternative, often newly made. Remanufactured means a returned cartridge shell has been cleaned and refilled. The onn. and DoorStepInk HP 67 cartridges on Walmart.com, for example, are sold as remanufactured. What exactly a seller supplies should be stated on the product page.

Is an alternative always cheaper per page?

Not automatically. An alternative's yield is the seller's own figure, often '@ 5% coverage' and not measured to the same HP standard. Also factor in shipping costs and the chance of a return if a cartridge isn't recognized.

Is Original HP 67 always the best choice?

Not for everyone. Original gives you HP-documented data and the most predictable recognition; a transparent alternative can make financial sense. Your own priorities decide.

Can I combine original black with a compatible color cartridge?

The positions work independently, but whether a particular alternative works still depends on the product and printer. Check the model claim and the seller's returns policy.

What should I do if an alternative stops working after an update?

Note your printer model, firmware version and the error message and contact the seller. Don't install an unofficial firmware downgrade as a quick fix.
