Real-world page output and cartridge life
The genuine black CD975AA cartridge is manufactured to the ISO/IEC 24711 standard, delivering an expected output of 1200 pages. Individual colour inks output approximately 700 pages, meaning your colour cartridges will require replacement cycles roughly twice as often as your black ink during balanced document printing.

What to know about compatible cartridges
Choosing compatible cartridges reduces upfront running costs without risking your investment. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. These third-party options match the physical dimensions of original casings to slot directly into the carrier block. To learn more about how aftermarket and original supplies stack up, read our comprehensive guide comparing genuine vs compatible cartridges.
Choosing the right cartridge setup
If you print text documents with minimal branding, purchasing single high-yield black cartridges protects your budget. For businesses outputting invoices containing colour letterheads or graphics, compatible multi-packs provide the lowest per-page operating cost. Our compatible options are backed by a complete money-back guarantee if they do not perform to your expectations. Orders ship directly from our nearest regional warehouse infrastructure located across Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, and Perth to minimise shipping downtime. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply). To see our full catalogue of original and third-party options, view our dedicated HP ink cartridges range.
Pro Tip
The HP 920 series uses individual slots but relies on a permanent printhead built into the printer. If your printer sits completely idle for over three weeks, the ink inside the narrow ink delivery nozzles can dry out and clog, leading to streaky lines that waste ink during subsequent cleaning cycles. Print at least one single-page test document weekly to keep the delivery system primed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix a genuine HP 920XL black cartridge with compatible 920XL colour cartridges in the same printer?
Yes. The printer's microchips treat each cartridge slot independently, allowing you to run a mix of genuine and compatible cartridges simultaneously without causing alignment errors or system lockout messages.
Why does my Officejet printer report low colour ink when I only print black and white text?
These printers use small portions of cyan, magenta, and yellow ink during regular maintenance cycles to cool the permanent printhead nozzles and prevent clogging, meaning colour levels will drop over time even with monochrome print settings.
Will a 920XL cartridge fit in the exact same slot as a standard 920 cartridge?
Yes. The physical external physical dimensions of the 920 and 920XL cartridges are identical, meaning they fit the exact same terminal carriage slots; the high-yield cartridge simply contains a larger internal ink reservoir.
