HP DeskJet 2220 Ink Cartridges
Your HP DeskJet 2220 uses the HP 63/65 and 63XL/65XL ink cartridge series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable printer consumables for this compact home inkjet printer since Sep 2026. Our 4.8 Google rating proves it: we consistently supply premium cartridges backed by rock-solid reliability. Using a dual-cartridge system with individual black and tri-colour tanks, replacing standard 63/65 (B7RT3AA) units with high-yield 63XL/65XL (B7RT5AA) black cartridges significantly lowers cost per page for routine assignments and document printing.
Expected Page Output and Cartridge Lifespan
Expected page output varies depending on whether standard or high-yield options are installed. ISO/IEC 24711 testing standards determine official page yields for these inkjet cartridges. Standard cartridges suit minimal printing, whereas high-capacity units yield substantially more pages for ongoing document requirements.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 63 | Standard | Black | 100 | $0.31 |
| 63 | Standard | Colour | 120 | $0.35 |
| 63XL | High Yield | Black | 300 | $0.24 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing the Right Cartridge Setup
If you print mainly text documents, choosing the high-capacity 63XL/65XL (B7RT5AA) black cartridge reduces unit replacement frequency. For mixed printing involving graphics, combining individual cartridges or selecting multi-packs such as the 63/65 (B7RT3AA-B7RT2AA) bundle ensures balanced ink levels.

Cartridge Buying Pro Tip
Always purchase black and tri-colour cartridges together in multi-packs like the 63/65 (B7RT3AA-B7RT2AA) combo when both are low, as bundling lowers overall order costs compared to buying single cartridges individually.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a high-yield 63XL/65XL cartridge alongside a standard 63/65 colour cartridge?
Yes, high-yield XL and standard capacity cartridges share identical physical dimensions and operate seamlessly together in the HP DeskJet 2220. You can replace each cartridge independently as it runs out.
Why does the DeskJet 2220 require a new printhead with every cartridge change?
HP 63/65 cartridges feature an integrated printhead on the cartridge base itself. Replacing the cartridge automatically installs a fresh firing mechanism, eliminating long-term printhead wear and maintaining crisp print quality over time.
What happens when the tri-colour cartridge runs out of a single colour shade?
Because Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow share a single tri-colour cartridge chamber, depleting one primary colour requires replacing the entire tri-colour unit. To avoid premature replacement, balance colour output when printing mixed graphics.
