HP Ink Cartridges: How to Read HP Ink Numbers

HP ink cartridge numbers can look confusing when you first shop for replacement ink. Numbers such as HP 67XL, HP 64, HP 60, HP 910XL and HP 952 identify different cartridge families. The number is an important part of finding the correct ink.

What does the HP number tell you?

The cartridge number identifies a particular HP ink family. The same printer brand can use many different cartridge families, so "HP ink" alone is not enough information to choose a cartridge.

What does XL mean?

XL generally identifies a higher-capacity version within a cartridge family. For example, HP 67XL is a higher-capacity member of the HP 67 family. Always confirm that your printer supports the XL cartridge.

Why compatibility matters

HP cartridge families are designed for specific printer models. Before ordering, match the cartridge number to the printer documentation or the cartridge currently installed.

Vonex carries several model-specific HP products, including HP 67XL Black, HP 64 Black, HP 60 Black and Tri-Color Combo, HP 910XL Magenta and HP 952 Black.

Shop HP ink by cartridge family
