How long these cartridges last in real use
Standard HP 98 black ink cartridges (C9364WA) yield approximately 400 pages based on the ISO/IEC 24711 standard testing metric of 5% page coverage. High-density text or frequent document printing reduces overall yield.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 98 | Standard | Black | 400 | $0.14 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Selecting compatible HP 98 cartridges drops printing costs from 14 cents to roughly 3 cents per page while maintaining clear document output. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Review our genuine vs compatible comparison guide for technical differences.
How to manage your replacements
If you regularly print invoices or black-and-white documents, compatible cartridges drastically cut running costs without affecting page layout. All third-party options carry a money-back guarantee if performance issues occur. Review our returns policy for details. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, shipped directly from our Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide distribution facilities. Stock up on HP ink cartridges to maintain continuous printing.
Essential setup pro tip
The HP 98 cartridge contains an integrated thermal printhead; removing the protective nozzle seal tape cleanly without touching the gold contacts prevents instant electrical communication errors upon insertion.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my printer show low ink warnings right after installing a compatible HP 98 cartridge?
Older HP Deskjet and Officejet hardware tracks ink via chip data rather than physical fluid measurement. Compatible cartridges reset this tracking, but if your printer retains previous cartridge memory, bypass the alert by pressing "OK" or "Continue" to print normally.
Can I use an HP 98 black cartridge alongside a 95 tri-colour cartridge?
Yes, the HP 98 black cartridge (C9364WA) operates concurrently with the HP 95 tri-colour cartridge (C8766WA) across supported mobile and desktop models to form a complete dual-cartridge system.
What happens if the printhead contacts on the HP 98 get dirty?
Because the printhead is built into the base of the HP 98 cartridge itself, dust or dried ink on the copper contacts can cause missing lines or unrecognised cartridge errors. Wiping the contacts gently with a lint-free cloth or isopropyl alcohol swab restores electrical contact.
