HP Deskjet 3320 3325 Ink Cartridges
Your HP Deskjet 3320 and 3325 printers use the HP 27 and 28 ink cartridges series. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Sep 2026. Designed as compact entry-level home printers for light document and homework printing, these models rely on a two-cartridge system separating black text from tri-colour graphics. Users printing basic text usually deplete the 27 (C8727AA) black cartridge much faster than the 28 (C8728AA) colour option. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.

What to know about compatible cartridges
Using high-quality compatible cartridges provides a budget-friendly way to keep older home printers running smoothly. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our comprehensive genuine vs compatible cartridges comparison to learn more about how aftermarket options lower everyday printing costs.
Choosing the right cartridge setup
If you print mainly text documents, replacing the black 27 (C8727AA) cartridge individually as needed keeps costs low. For photo or graphics projects, having a spare 28 (C8728AA) colour cartridge ready prevents unexpected pauses when an active colour depletes. Compatible options come backed by a money back guarantee for total peace of mind. Check our returns policy for details. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99.

Pro Tip

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the HP Deskjet 3320 and Deskjet 3325 use the same ink cartridges?
Yes, both the HP Deskjet 3320 and 3325 use the exact same HP 27 black and HP 28 tri-colour cartridge system, so any cartridge listed on this page fits both models.
Why does my colour cartridge run out even when I mostly print black text?
Default printer driver settings often mix small amounts of colour ink with black to create rich black tones or execute automatic nozzle priming during power cycles. Selecting "greyscale" or "black ink only" in print settings ensures only the 27 (C8727AA) black cartridge is consumed.
What happens if one colour inside the HP 28 tri-colour cartridge depletes first?
The HP 28 (C8728AA) integrates cyan, magenta, and yellow into a single chamber system. If one colour runs dry, print output will show inaccurate colours, requiring a complete replacement of the tri-colour unit even if other colours still contain ink.
Can I install only the HP 27 black cartridge if I do not need colour printing?
While these Deskjet models can operate in single-cartridge mode with only the 27 (C8727AA) black cartridge installed, keeping an empty or dummy colour cartridge in the carriage prevents print carriage error messages on certain firmware versions.
