HP 924, 924e Ink Cartridges
The HP 924 and 924e ink cartridge series powers the OfficeJet Pro 8120 and 8130 small business printer setup. This four-ink individual system splits your running layout into independent black, cyan, magenta, and yellow bays, ensuring you only replace the exact colour that runs out. Deciding between the standard 924 setup or the high-yield 924e variants relies directly on your monthly paper throughput goals.

Expected page output and replacement cycles
Evaluating consumables for continuous document workflows requires clear metrics based on standardized coverage conditions. HP determines the page capacities for the 924 and high-yield 924e series under continuous print cycles using the ISO/IEC 24711 standard for A4 documents. Standard 924 individual cartridges provide 500 pages for black (4K0U6NA) and 400 pages for cyan, magenta, and yellow. Moving up to the high-yield 924e variant increases the ink volume to deliver 1,000 black pages (4K0V0NA) and 800 pages per color channel, reducing physical replacement intervals.

Choosing the right cartridge setup
If your office prints mostly text documents, financial reports, or invoices, choosing high-yield 924e black cartridges or stocking up on 4-pack and 8-pack bundles protects your machine from downtime during long queues. If you run balanced marketing prints, multi-packs offer a lower acquisition cost per tank than purchasing individual standard-yield units separately. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply). To maintain rapid dispatch times throughout Australia, all orders ship directly from specialized distribution centers in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Every purchase remains fully protected by our comprehensive returns policy. If you require ink variants for a different machine model, browse our complete catalogue of HP ink cartridges.
Pro Tip
HP OfficeJet Pro printers pull micro-amounts of color ink during standard black-and-white print cycles to lubricate the thermal print nozzles and prevent heat-induced damage. Leaving empty color cartridges in the printer will lock the machine completely, so keep standard 924 color replacements on hand even if you only print monochrome documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix a high-yield HP 924e black cartridge with standard HP 924 color cartridges in the same printer?
Yes. The external physical structural dimensions of the standard 924 and high-yield 924e ink tanks are identical. The printer reads the individual microchips separately, allowing you to use varying capacity levels concurrently without causing electronic conflicts.
What is the difference between an HP 924 cartridge and an HP 924e cartridge?
The "e" designation indicates a high-yield ink volume variant containing double the fluid capacity of the standard tank. The 924e black prints up to 1,000 pages compared to the standard 924 black capacity of 500 pages, reducing your physical cartridge changes.
Why does my printer show lower ink levels than expected when I only print text reports?
HP thermal printheads perform automated micro-purges during startup and sleep transitions to clear dried pigments from the nozzle plate. This process draws minute volumes from all four ink channels, meaning color ink levels will decrease over time even without printing full-color images.
