HP DeskJet F4470 F4472 F4473 Ink Cartridges
Your HP DeskJet F4470, F4472, and F4473 printers use the HP 60 and 60XL ink cartridge series. Ink Depot has provided reliable consumables for this printer family since Jun 2013. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance. Designed for light household document printing, these compact all-in-one units use a two-cartridge system where switching from a standard 60 (CC640WA) black ink to high-yield 60XL (CC641WA) significantly reduces cost per page.
Expected Output and Replacement Cycles
Page yield figures are calculated using the ISO/IEC 24711 standard for inkjet printing under standard laboratory conditions. In typical home environments, actual page output varies depending on page coverage, photo density, and printing frequency.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60 | Standard | Black | 200 | $0.24 |
| 60 | Standard | Colour | 165 | $0.35 |
| 60XL | High Yield | Black | 600 | $0.18 |
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, investing in high-yield 60XL (CC641WA) black ink provides three times the page capacity of standard cartridges. If you print photos or colour graphics, replace the tri-colour 60 (CC643WA) cartridge as individual shades deplete to maintain balanced output quality. All genuine HP ink cartridges are covered by manufacturer warranties and our easy returns policy. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, dispatched quickly from our warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.
Pro Tip for Tri-Colour Cartridges
Because the 60 series tri-colour cartridge combines cyan, magenta, and yellow into a single multi-chamber tank, printing heavy blocks of one particular colour will exhaust that chamber first, requiring the entire tri-colour unit to be replaced even if other shades remain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the HP DeskJet F4470, F4472 and F4473 all take the exact same ink cartridges?
Yes, all three models share identical internal print systems and accept the exact same HP 60 and 60XL ink cartridges.
Can I install a high-yield 60XL black cartridge alongside a standard 60 colour cartridge?
Yes, standard and XL variants in the HP 60 series share identical external dimensions and can be freely mixed in your printer.
Why does the tri-colour 60 cartridge run out even if I mostly print black text?
DeskJet printers occasionally draw minor amounts of colour ink during automatic maintenance cycles to keep the integrated printhead nozzles clear, even when executing monochrome print jobs.
What is the benefit of choosing 60XL (CC641WA) black over standard 60 (CC640WA)?
The 60XL black cartridge yields approximately 600 pages compared to 200 pages from the standard 60, offering a lower cost per page for regular document printing.
