Pro Tip for HP Deskjet D1660 Cartridges
HP 60 tri-colour cartridges combine Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow ink into a single physical unit. If your colour prints begin showing uneven hues, check ink levels before starting complex print jobs, as depletion of a single primary colour requires replacing the whole tri-colour unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a 60XL (CC641WA) black cartridge alongside a standard 60 (CC643WA) colour cartridge in my HP Deskjet D1660?
Yes, you can freely mix standard 60 and high-yield 60XL cartridges. The physical dimensions of 60XL cartridges match standard 60 units, fitting directly into the same printer carriage slots regardless of capacity differences.
What happens when one colour depletes in the HP 60 (CC643WA) tri-colour cartridge?
Because Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow share a single tri-colour cartridge, running completely out of one primary colour requires replacing the whole unit to restore proper colour blending, even if ink remains in the other two reservoirs.
How do 60XL high-yield cartridges differ in capacity from standard HP 60 cartridges?
Standard HP 60 (CC640WA) black ink cartridges yield approximately 200 pages, whereas 60XL (CC641WA) high-yield black cartridges yield up to 600 pages under 5% coverage tests, tripling print output before needing replacement.
