What to know about compatible cartridges
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Choosing these alternative print options dramatically minimises cartridge expenditure without threatening your physical components. You can review your statutory customer rights and performance metrics directly on our comprehensive blog.
How long these cartridges last in real use
HP determines the 700-page black and 450-page colour output capabilities using strict ISO/IEC 24711 inkjet testing profiles. Your actual volume changes depending on full-page document coverage, line spacing variations, and automated printhead maintenance routines.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 901 | Standard | Colour | 450 | $0.049 |
| 901XL | High Yield | Black | 700 | $0.039 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Compatible cartridges.
Pro Tip
The HP 901 tri-colour cartridge contains three individual fluid wells but uses a single integrated printhead mechanism. Printing items with heavy single-colour accents causes that specific internal section to deplete prematurely, making the remaining ink reserves completely unusable because the printer requires all three elements to function.
Best way to stock these cartridges
Combining the 900-series cartridges requires balancing your daily output type. Text-heavy document printing runs out the CC654AA black unit quickly, making the high-yield single or multi-packs the logical purchase choice. If you choose our budget-friendly compatibles to cut costs, they are backed by an explicit money-back guarantee outlined on our Returns page . Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply), with immediate processing from our distribution centres located across Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Update your replacement HP ink cartridges before empty alerts stop your workflows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run a high-yield compatible 901XL black alongside a standard 901 colour cartridge?
Yes, these physical housing dimensions are completely uniform across the standard and XL sizes. The high-capacity model simply holds a larger volume of ink inside the casing, allowing you to pair different capacities safely within the carriage slots.
Why did my Officejet fail to align after replacing an empty 901 cartridge?
These cartridges feature integrated copper contact plates on the actual casing. If microscopic skin oils or dust particles settle on these gold circuits during replacement, the electrical signals fail, which requires a gentle wipe with an isopropyl cloth.
What causes my colour prints to omit specific shades when ink levels show remaining volume?
Because the tri-colour unit routes three colours through one array of printhead nozzles, infrequent use causes microscopic ink blockages. Executing a deep clean cycle via your computer tool menu pushes fresh fluid through the apertures to restore missing bands.
