HP DeskJet 2135 Ink Cartridges
Your HP DeskJet 2135 printer uses the HP 63/65 ink cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Sep 2026. Designed as a compact, everyday all-in-one printer for quick household printing and light document scanning, this model relies on a two-cartridge setup. Standard black cartridges like 63/65 (B7RT3AA) handle basic paperwork, while upgrading to 63XL/65XL (B7RT5AA) high-yield options significantly lowers page costs for frequent printing. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a high-yield 63XL/65XL cartridge in the DeskJet 2135 alongside a standard 63/65 cartridge?
Yes, standard and high-yield cartridges share the exact same physical dimensions and slot design in the HP DeskJet 2135. You can freely mix a 63XL/65XL (B7RT5AA) black cartridge with a standard 63/65 (B7RT2AA) tri-colour cartridge.
How does the tri-colour cartridge system affect printing when one colour runs out?
The HP 63/65 tri-colour cartridge combines cyan, magenta, and yellow into a single unit with an integrated printhead. If one colour depletes completely, the entire cartridge must be replaced to restore full-colour output, as individual colour channels cannot be replaced separately.
What happens if I only print in black when the tri-colour cartridge is depleted?
The HP DeskJet 2135 can continue printing in black-only mode using just the black cartridge if configured in your print settings. However, leaving an empty tri-colour cartridge installed long-term is recommended to seal the printhead slot and keep electrical contacts clean.
