Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles

High-yield cartridges such as the HP 96 (C8767WA) Black yield significantly more pages before requiring replacement, making them ideal for high-volume document printing.
Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Options
Both genuine and compatible ink cartridges are available for the HP Deskjet 5740. Compatible cartridges provide a cost-effective alternative while maintaining sharp text and clear graphics. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty.

Pro Tip
Because HP 95 (C8766WA) and HP 97 (C9363WA) tri-colour cartridges feature an integrated printhead built directly into the cartridge unit, replacing the cartridge automatically renews the firing mechanism for crisp text and vibrant colours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use high-yield HP 96 black cartridges in place of standard HP 94 cartridges?
Yes. The high-yield HP 96 (C8767WA) black cartridge has identical physical dimensions to the standard HP 94 (C8765WA) cartridge and fits into the exact same slot in your HP Deskjet 5740, containing more ink for a longer lifespan.
How does the integrated printhead design benefit my HP Deskjet 5740?
In HP 94, 95, 96, and 97 cartridges, the printhead is integrated into the cartridge body rather than built into the printer itself. This means every time you replace an ink cartridge, you install a brand-new printhead, ensuring clean ink distribution and preventing permanent head clogs.
What happens when one colour runs out in an HP 95 or HP 97 tri-colour cartridge?
Tri-colour cartridges contain cyan, magenta, and yellow ink in a single physical unit. If one colour depletes completely, the entire cartridge must be replaced to maintain accurate colour balance, even if ink remains in the other two chambers.
