HP Officejet J4500 J4580 Ink Cartridges
Your HP Officejet J4580 uses the 901, 901XL cartridge series, running a dual-cartridge system with one black tank and one tri-colour tank to manage household and administrative tasks. Backed by our 4.8 Google rating, we are committed to providing premium replacement options that ensure reliable document output. We have been supplying replacement alternatives for these specific setups since Mar 2009, keeping household projects and home office operations running smoothly. Since daily printing tasks quickly deplete black text lines while tri-colour graphics decrease at a separate rate, home users frequently swap standard replacements for high-yield XL bundle setups to avoid sudden disruption and lower overall maintenance frequency.
Page yield expectations and printing lifecycles
Managing domestic workflows and home business tasks requires clear foresight regarding consumable lifespans. HP establishes page yield metrics using the international ISO/IEC 24711 standard for inkjet setups, which tests consumption patterns across a continuous sequence of varied text and graphic files. Review the complete options below to assess print capacities before finalising your purchase.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 901 | Standard | Colour | 450 | $0.049 |
| 901XL | High Yield | Black | 700 | $0.039 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Compatible cartridges.
Compatible cartridge performance standards
Lowering ongoing household and small business printing expenses is straightforward when transitioning to premium generic replacements. Under Australian Consumer Law, utilising compatible cartridges does not void your original printer warranty. These cost-effective alternatives match original factory components in their precise structural fit and clean text resolution. Every replacement cartridge is specifically engineered to match internal thermal mechanisms, preventing blockages or smudge defects on critical school projects, labels, and personal documents. These budget-friendly options fit the designated cartridge channels exactly, delivering deep text clarity and vibrant colour tones across all prints. You can explore more about managing consumable options in our detailed genuine vs compatible cartridges guide.

Pro Tip
The HP 901 and 901XL cartridge series feature integrated printheads built directly onto the base of each physical tank. This design ensures that every time you replace an empty unit with a new black or tri-colour cartridge, you completely refresh the main printing mechanism, making it an excellent way to clear persistent blank streaks or blocked nozzles that standard internal cleaning cycles fail to resolve.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run a high-capacity 901XL cartridge alongside a standard 901 ink cartridge?
Yes, this printer setup lets you mix standard and high-capacity XL cartridge sizes interchangeably across the two operational slots. The structural exterior casing dimensions are identical across standard and XL formats, so a high-capacity black unit will slide securely into place alongside a standard tri-colour tank without any issues.
Why does my screen show an ink low warning when fluid is still moving in the tank?
The built-in tracking microchip monitors estimated consumption by logging the total number of microscopic ink drops fired rather than inspecting the physical volume inside the reservoir. If you primarily print short notes utilising narrow text fonts, the digital warning system will register an alert slightly before the actual physical supply runs out.
How do I clear blank lines or faint horizontal streaks on my colour prints?
Horizontal blank streaks can occur if tiny air bubbles or dried ink residue block the external copper nozzles after periods of inactivity. To resolve this, navigate to the maintenance menu via your desktop printer software or mobile app and initiate a single printhead cleaning process to clear the pathways and re-establish a consistent ink flow.
