Expected Page Output for DeskJet 1010 Ink
Page output for HP 61 cartridges is tested under ISO/IEC 24711 standards using continuous printing of standard test documents.

Pro Tip: Printhead Integration
Because HP 61 and 61XL cartridges feature built-in printheads, replacing the cartridge installs a fresh printhead mechanism each time, preventing stubborn nozzle blockages after long periods of non-use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a 61XL cartridge in my DeskJet 1010 if it originally came with standard 61 inks?
Yes. The 61XL black and tri-colour cartridges share the exact physical external dimensions as standard 61 cartridges and fit into the exact same carriage slots inside the printer, but contain significantly more ink.
What happens if one colour runs out in my 61 tri-colour cartridge?
The HP 61 tri-colour cartridge combines cyan, magenta, and yellow into a single unit. When one colour depletes completely, the entire cartridge must be replaced to maintain proper colour reproduction, even if ink remains in the other chambers.
Why do HP 61 cartridges cost more per page than individual ink tank systems?
HP 61 cartridges integrate the thermal printhead directly into the cartridge assembly itself rather than inside the printer. You receive a brand new printhead mechanism with every cartridge replacement, which increases unit manufacturing costs but ensures consistent print quality.
