Printers Compatible with HP 68 Ink Cartridges
Pro Tip
The HP 68 colour cartridge features a combined three-colour chamber operating through one integrated printhead plate. Printing graphics with massive amounts of one single tint, such as intense magenta shapes, drains that individual reservoir first and stops the entire printer from operating, forcing you to discard the remaining two colours.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
HP establishes the 160-page standard black, 320-page high-yield black, and 120-page colour capabilities using international ISO/IEC 24711 measurement parameters. Your physical volume depends entirely on document text density, borderless photo settings, and automated startup cleaning cycles that consume liquid ink.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 68 | Standard | Black | 160 | $0.26 |
| 68 | Standard | Colour | 120 | $0.34 |
| 68e | High Yield | Black | 320 | $0.26 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Best way to stock these cartridges
Allocating your budget depends on your primary text or graphic output ratios.

Purchase your replacement HP ink cartridges before empty alerts trigger a lock on your desktop queue.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a high-yield HP 68e black cartridge if my printer came with a standard HP 68 black?
Yes, the 7FP22TA high-yield cartridge shares the identical physical exterior dimensions and carriage clip design as the standard 7FP21TA version. The high-yield unit simply contains a larger internal liquid ink reservoir, allowing it to fit seamlessly into the same slot.
Why does my Envy printer show an ink cartridge error immediately after installing a brand new genuine HP 68 cartridge?
This line uses an integrated electrical printhead face on the base of the tank. If microscopic oils from your fingertips touch the copper circuit pads during unpacking, the printer cannot read the data tracking chips, which requires a gentle wipe with an isopropyl pad.
Will my printer still print black text documents if the HP 68 colour cartridge is completely dry?
No, Envy printers utilizing this two-cartridge system require both the black and the tri-colour units to complete the circuit and pass initial startup self-tests. An empty or missing colour cartridge causes a printer error that prevents single-cartridge monochrome printing.
