HP 62 and 62XL Ink Cartridges
HP 62 and 62XL ink cartridges cover a wide range of HP home and mobile printers, including the ENVY 5540, 5541, 5542, 5543, 5544, 5545, 5547, 5548, 5549, 5640, 5642, 5643, 5644, 5646, 5660, 5663, 5664, 5665, 7640, 7643, 7644, 7645, OfficeJet 5740, 5741, 5742, 5743, 5744, 5745, 5746, 8040, and the portable OfficeJet 200 and 250. Each printer uses two cartridges: black (C2P04AA standard / C2P05AA XL) and tri-colour (C2P06AA standard / C2P07AA XL). The standard 62 black yields 200 pages and tri-colour 165 pages; the 62XL black triples black output to 600 pages and the XL tri-colour reaches 415 pages. Genuine HP and compatible versions are stocked as singles and bundle packs.
The yield gap between the 62 and 62XL is more pronounced on black than on most home inkjet cartridges - the XL delivers three times the standard black output (600 vs 200 pages) while the tri-colour XL delivers around 2.5 times the standard (415 vs 165 pages). For households that print documents regularly but use colour less often, keeping a 62XL black (C2P05AA) and a standard 62 tri-colour (C2P06AA) reduces waste from unused colour ink. The OfficeJet 200 and 250 are battery-powered portable printers; they use the same 62 and 62XL cartridges as the ENVY and OfficeJet desktop range, so travellers or mobile workers can stock the same cartridges for both desk and on-the-road use.
Genuine HP and compatible cartridges are available as singles and in 2-pack, 3-pack, 4-pack, and 6-pack bundles. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your HP printer warranty. Metro orders over $99 receive free delivery - a small fee applies to rural and regional postcodes.

What is the difference between HP 62 and HP 62XL ink cartridges?
The HP 62 is the standard-yield cartridge: black (C2P04AA) yields 200 pages and tri-colour (C2P06AA) yields 165 pages. The HP 62XL is the high-yield version: black (C2P05AA) yields 600 pages - three times the standard - and tri-colour (C2P07AA) yields 415 pages. Both 62 and 62XL cartridges are interchangeable in the same compatible printers, so you can mix standard and XL in the same printer depending on which colour you use more.
Are compatible HP 62 and 62XL cartridges safe to use?
Compatible HP 62 and 62XL cartridges are manufactured to match genuine HP output specifications for page yield and print quality. Under Australian Consumer Law, HP cannot void your printer warranty solely because you chose compatible consumables. Ink Depot stocks compatible 62XL black (C2P05AA) and tri-colour (C2P07AA) singles, as well as compatible 3-pack and 6-pack bundles for households that print regularly.
