Page yield expectations for HP 564 cartridges
HP 564 page yields are calculated in accordance with ISO/IEC 24711 standards for continuous A4 document printing. Colour photo printing depletes individual cartridges faster depending on shade distribution, so individual cartridge replacement helps maximise usable ink.

| 564 | Standard | Black | 250 | $0.14 |
| 564 | Standard | Cyan | 300 | $0.11 |

Stocking cartridges for home photo printing
If you print mainly text documents, choose high-yield 564XL (CN684WA) black cartridges for extended output between changes. If you print photos, purchasing individual 564 (CB318WA) colour replacements or value multipacks prevents uneven ink exhaustion. All products are backed by our Returns policy.

Consumable Pro Tip
Always leave depleted colour cartridges installed in the HP PhotoSmart 5520 until you have a new replacement ready, as operating the printhead with an empty slot can cause residual ink to dry inside the microscopic nozzles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix standard HP 564 and high-yield HP 564XL cartridges in the PhotoSmart 5520?
Yes. The HP PhotoSmart 5520 accepts any combination of standard 564 and high-yield 564XL cartridges simultaneously across the individual colour slots.
Why does my yellow or cyan ink run out even if I mostly print black and white?
The HP PhotoSmart 5520 uses small amounts of colour ink during periodic printhead maintenance cycles and when blending inks for rich-black text modes. Selecting "Black Ink Only" in the printer driver settings minimises colour consumption during document runs.
How does the individual 4-ink system differ from 5-ink HP PhotoSmart models?
The PhotoSmart 5520 uses a four-cartridge system (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). Unlike five-ink PhotoSmart models that feature a separate Photo Black cartridge, the 5520 uses a single Black cartridge for both everyday documents and photo printing, simplifying cartridge inventory.
