HP 975A & 975X Ink Cartridges
HP 975A and HP 975X ink cartridges are the standard yield and high yield PageWide ink cartridges for the HP PageWide Pro 452dn, 452dw, 477dn, 477dw, 552dw, 577dw and 577z, and the HP PageWide Managed P55250dw and P57750dw. All eight cartridges, black, cyan, magenta and yellow, use pigment-based ink across both yield tiers, which means sharper text and water-resistant prints compared to dye-based systems. The range includes standard yield and high yield options, so you can choose based on print volume and replacement frequency. All products supplied by Ink Depot are covered by Australian Consumer Law.
In a busy office running a PageWide Pro or Managed printer, black ink depletes significantly faster than colour, document-heavy workloads can burn through two or three black cartridges for every single colour cartridge replaced. That imbalance is exactly why the 975X high yield black makes practical sense for most offices, its approximately 10,000 page yield is nearly three times that of the 975A standard yield black at approximately 3,500 pages, reducing how often staff need to interrupt print jobs for a swap. The 975A colour cartridges yield approximately 3,000 pages each, while 975X colour cartridges reach approximately 7,000 pages each. Yields are based on ISO 24711 at 5% coverage. Colour cartridges, by contrast, tend to last longer in typical mixed document and presentation printing, making the 975A standard yield a reasonable choice for colour unless your team prints a lot of graphics or colour-heavy reports.
HP PageWide cartridges are individual units, black, cyan, magenta and yellow are each replaced separately. That means a depleted black cartridge does not require replacing the colour set, which avoids unnecessary waste and keeps running costs predictable. Ink Depot stocks both genuine and compatible HP 975A and 975X ink cartridges, available as singles or in bundle packs, genuine cartridges in 4 packs and 8 packs, and compatible cartridges in 5 packs and 10 packs. Compatible cartridges sold by Ink Depot are backed by the consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law. Free delivery over $99 (conditions apply).
For offices managing replacement cycles, it is worth keeping at least one spare 975X black on hand, PageWide printers are fast and a low ink alert on a high volume black cartridge can catch teams off guard mid job.
