What to know about compatible cartridges
Compatible 980 cartridges lower running costs significantly from 2.1 cents per page to under 0.8 cents per page on colour tanks. These third-party cartridges use identical physical casing shapes and contact chips to ensure seamless printer recognition. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Learn how third-party cartridges match OEM benchmarks in our genuine vs compatible guide.
How most users manage replacements
High-volume office printing depletes black ink roughly 1.5 times faster than individual cyan, magenta, or yellow tanks. Staggering orders or purchasing multi-packs prevents downtime when single colours deplete unexpectedly during large runs. Compatible options include a full money-back guarantee if performance falls short. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, dispatched quickly from our warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

Pro Tip
HP OfficeJet Enterprise PageWide printheads span the entire width of the page; replacing cartridges before they dry out completely prevents microscopic nozzle clogs and costly cleaning cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my OfficeJet Enterprise show an ink depletion message when ink is still visible inside the 980 cartridge?
HP 980 cartridges retain a small internal reserve to prevent air bubbles from entering the permanent PageWide printhead during high-speed printing. Running the cartridge completely dry damages the print engine's ink delivery channels.
Can I mix genuine HP 980 cartridges with compatible 980 cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, individual cartridge slots operate independently. You can run a genuine D8J10A black cartridge alongside compatible D8J07A cyan or D8J08A magenta cartridges without triggering firmware errors or print degradation.
Why do cyan, magenta, and yellow cartridges deplete at different rates even when printing balanced documents?
Composite greys and background shading use varying amounts of cyan, magenta, and yellow ink. Office logos and digital stamps frequently draw heavier on cyan and magenta, causing uneven depletion across the three colour tanks.
