Pro Tip
Because the HP 804 tri-colour cartridge houses cyan, magenta, and yellow ink in a single physical unit alongside an integrated printhead, replacing the cartridge also replaces the printhead mechanism. Heavy printing in a single shade like blue or red will drain that specific ink chamber first, requiring replacement of the whole tri-colour cartridge even if other colours remain.
Match Your Printing Habits to the Right HP 804 or HP 804XL Ink Cartridge Pack
If all your colours are running low, the 2-Pack 804 Genuine (from $66.54) covers every colour in one order.
If only one colour has run dry, there's no need to replace the rest - a single Genuine 804 cartridge (from $28.54) is the lowest-cost way to keep printing.
Watching the budget? Compatible cartridges match the fit and yield of genuine ink at a lower price, from $38.77 for a single 804XL cartridge or 2-pack 804XL for $82.13.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use an 804XL cartridge if my printer originally came with a standard 804?
Yes. The 804XL high-yield cartridge shares the exact physical dimensions and contact layout as the standard 804 cartridge. It holds a higher volume of ink inside the same shell casing and drops directly into the exact same printer slot.
Is 804XL the same as 804 XL?
Yes, 804XL and 804 XL refer to the exact same high-yield cartridge. The space is merely a formatting variation used across different retailers and search queries, with both representing the high-capacity version of the standard HP 804 ink series.
Why does my printer report low colour ink when I mostly print photos with neutral background tones?
HP Envy Photo and Inspire printers build grey and muted tones by blending cyan, magenta, and yellow inks alongside black to create richer photo depth. This process depletes tri-colour cartridges faster than standard black-and-white text printing.
