Our 4.8 Google Star rating shows that our customers consistently receive high-quality cartridges backed by reliable performance.

For regular colour reports, flyers or charts, each 915XL colour is rated at 825 pages compared with 315 pages for a standard 915 colour.

Orders ship from our warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. See our full range of HP ink cartridges.
What to know about compatible 915XL cartridges
Our compatible range is made in the 915XL size only. It is available as single cartridges and multi-packs. Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are each rated at 825 pages, which matches the genuine HP 915XL rating. There is no compatible version of the standard 915. Using a compatible cartridge does not by itself remove your rights under Australian Consumer Law. However, damage caused by a faulty cartridge may not be covered by the printer manufacturer's warranty. Our genuine vs compatible cartridges guide explains the differences in more detail.
Pro Tip
When reordering genuine cartridges through an office supplier, quote the HP part number rather than just "915". Standard 915 cartridges are 3YM18AA Black, 3YM15AA Cyan, 3YM16AA Magenta and 3YM17AA Yellow. The 915XL cartridges are 3YM22AA Black, 3YM19AA Cyan, 3YM20AA Magenta and 3YM21AA Yellow. Both sizes fit the same printers, so the correct code is the simplest way to get the 825-page XL instead of the 300 to 315-page standard cartridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a 915XL in one slot and a standard 915 in another?
Yes. HP 915 and 915XL cartridges fit the same OfficeJet printers, and each colour is a separate cartridge, so standard and XL cartridges can be used side by side. The XL is rated at 825 pages. The standard size is rated at 300 pages for Black and 315 pages for each colour.
Is there a compatible version of the standard HP 915?
No. Our compatible cartridges are 915XL only, with each colour rated at 825 pages. If you currently use genuine standard 915 cartridges and switch to compatibles, you move straight to the XL page rating.
Are HP 915 Black and colour cartridges rated for the same number of pages?
Not in the standard size. Genuine 915 Black is rated at 300 pages and each 915 colour at 315 pages. In the XL size, Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow are all rated at 825 pages.
Is HP 915XL the same as 915 XL?
Yes. HP 915XL and 915 XL refer to the same high-yield cartridges. The space is only a formatting difference used across retail listings.
