Replacing standard 63 (F6U62AA) black cartridges with high-yield 63XL (F6U64AA) options increases output from 190 to 480 pages, cutting replacement frequency during household printing. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Page yields for the HP 63 series are measured using ISO/IEC 24711 standard test pages at 5% page coverage. Household printing involving heavy graphics or photo projects depletes tri-colour cartridges faster than standard black text documents.

Pro Tip for HP Envy 4520 Inks
Because the HP 63 tri-colour cartridge contains cyan, magenta, and yellow in a single unit, running out of just one colour requires replacing the whole colour cartridge. Upgrading to 63XL (F6U63AA) colour cartridges gives you extra ink volume to prevent premature depletion during photo projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a 63XL cartridge if my HP Envy 4520 came with standard HP 63 cartridges?
Yes. HP 63XL high-yield cartridges share the exact physical dimensions as standard HP 63 cartridges and fit into the same slot inside your Envy 4520 printer, but contain significantly more ink.
What happens if one colour runs out in the HP 63 tri-colour cartridge?
The HP 63 tri-colour (F6U61AA / F6U63AA) cartridge combines cyan, magenta, and yellow ink into one unit with an integrated printhead. If one colour depletes completely, the cartridge must be replaced to restore accurate full-colour printing.
Can I mix a genuine HP 63 black cartridge with a compatible 63XL colour cartridge?
Yes, you can mix genuine and compatible HP 63 or 63XL cartridges in your printer without operational conflicts or error messages.
