Page yield expectations and corporate colour printing
Estimated page capacities for these independent 955, 955XL, and 959XL ink supplies are calculated following strict international ISO/IEC 24711 testing procedures under continuous operation on matching inkjet printer. In commercial settings, real-world consumption patterns will change dynamically depending on the density of page layout text, document font types, selected print modes, and the volume of heavy graphic elements or charts. Busy corporate offices handling frequent multi-page documentation or client brochures can deplete lower-capacity tanks rapidly, which is why experienced procurement officers select high-capacity 955XL and ultra-high-capacity 959XL alternatives to set an economical and affordable cost-per-page foundation across all business operations.

Pro Tip
The HP OfficeJet Pro 8740 and 8745 models employ an innovative printhead design that uses pigment-based inks across both monochrome and colour channels to ensure water-resistant, laser-like quality. If your office prints show slight colour casting, thin white streaks, or faint bands across heavy graphics blocks after a long weekend, avoid running multiple consecutive deep cleaning cycles; simply initiate a level-one printhead cleaning cycle via the touchscreen panel, then print a single diagnostic page to let the ink flow settle naturally.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix genuine HP and third-party compatible 955XL ink cartridges together in the same printer?
Yes, the internal carriage lanes and smart chips are designed to interface independently. The printer entirely supports operating a combination of genuine original manufacturer cartridges and premium third-party compatible 955XL ink cartridges concurrently inside the printer.
Why does my printer stop running when only one colour ink tank is completely empty?
The thermal printhead relies on the liquid ink to serve as a coolant for its microscopic nozzle resistors. To protect the printer from permanent heat friction damage, an electronic safety override triggers and pauses all colour and monochrome print functions until the empty cartridge is replaced.
What is the difference between the 955, 955XL, and 959XL ink cartridge variants?
All three models possess identical external guide rails but differ in internal ink volume. The standard 955 is ideal for light use, the 955XL high-yield variant offers significantly larger capacity for routine print jobs, and the 959XL is an ultra-high-yield black cartridge engineered specifically for high-volume monochrome document production.
