HP PhotoSmart 5510 (B111a) Ink Cartridges
Your HP PhotoSmart 5510 (B111a) uses the HP 564 series. We have been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Jul 2026. The four-slot individual ink setup allows separate cartridge replacement as individual colours deplete. Because photo printing accelerates colour depletion across cyan, magenta, and yellow unevenly, upgrading to XL tanks prevents unexpected cartridge exhaustion during print runs. As demonstrated by our 4.8 Google rating, we are committed to providing premium consumable cartridges.

Pro Tip
The HP PhotoSmart 5510 (B111a) uses a permanent printhead built into the printer body rather than the cartridge; always leave depleted HP 564 cartridges installed until immediate replacement to prevent the internal ink channels from drying out and clogging.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix standard HP 564 cartridges with high-yield HP 564XL cartridges in the HP PhotoSmart 5510?
Yes. Standard HP 564 and high-yield HP 564XL cartridges feature identical external physical dimensions and fit the same individual colour slots, allowing you to use standard black alongside XL colour cartridges without issue.
Why does the HP PhotoSmart 5510 (B111a) use individual colour ink cartridges instead of a tri-colour cartridge?
The 4-cartridge individual ink system separates black, cyan, magenta, and yellow into dedicated slots, ensuring you only replace the specific colour channel that has actually run out, rather than replacing remaining usable ink in other colours.
What is the physical difference between standard HP 564 and HP 564 photo black cartridges?
Standard HP 564 black (CB316WA / CN684WA) is a larger pigment-based ink tank designed specifically for plain text printing, whereas HP 564 photo black (CB317WA / CB322WA) is a narrower dye-based cartridge intended exclusively for photo paper rendering on 5-slot models.
