HP 955, 955XL & 959XL Ink Cartridges
HP 955, 955XL, and 959XL ink cartridges fit six HP OfficeJet Pro models sold in Australia: the 7720, 7740, 8210, 8216, 8710, 8720, 8730, 8740, and 8745. Unlike compact home inkjets, these printers use four separate cartridges - black (L0S60AA), cyan (L0S51AA), magenta (L0S54AA), and yellow (L0S57AA) - so you replace only the colour that runs out rather than a combined tri-colour unit. Genuine HP and compatible versions are available here as singles and bundle packs.
Three black yield tiers are available, and this is where the 955 family stands apart from most home inkjet ranges. The standard 955 black (L0S60AA) yields 1,000 pages; each colour yields 700 pages. The 955XL black (L0S72AA) doubles that to 2,000 pages, with colour XLs - cyan (L0S63AA), magenta (L0S66AA), yellow (L0S69AA) - each reaching 1,600 pages. The 959XL (L0R42AA) is a black-only extra high-yield cartridge rated at 3,000 pages, which is three times the standard black and suited to offices where documents heavily outnumber colour prints. For a busy office running an OfficeJet Pro 8710 or 8720, combining 955XL colours with a 959XL black is a practical way to keep cost per page low without over-ordering colour ink.
Both genuine HP and compatible cartridges are stocked as singles and in bundle packs. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your HP printer warranty. Metro orders over $99 (conditions apply) receive free delivery - a small fee applies to rural and regional postcodes. See the shipping page for details.

General FAQ
Which printers use HP 955, 955XL, and 959XL ink cartridges?
The 955 cartridge family is compatible with six HP OfficeJet Pro models sold in Australia: the 7720, 7740, 8210, 8216, 8710, 8720, 8730, 8740, and 8745. Each printer takes four individual cartridges - black, cyan, magenta, and yellow - sold separately. Check the label on the inside of your printer's front cover or ink access door to confirm the cartridge series before ordering.
What is the difference between the HP 955, 955XL, and 959XL?
The standard 955 black (L0S60AA) yields 1,000 pages and each colour yields 700 pages. The 955XL black (L0S72AA) yields 2,000 pages and each 955XL colour reaches 1,600 pages - double the standard across the range. The 959XL (L0R42AA) is a black-only cartridge yielding 3,000 pages, three times the standard black. There is no 959XL colour cartridge; for colour printing at high volume, the 955XL colour range is the highest yield available.
Are compatible HP 955 cartridges safe to use in my printer?
Compatible 955 and 955XL cartridges are made to the same output specifications as genuine HP cartridges. Under Australian Consumer Law, HP cannot void your printer warranty solely because you used compatible consumables. Ink Depot stocks compatible 955XL black (L0S72AA) and colour singles, as well as compatible 5-pack and 10-pack bundles for offices buying in volume.
