HP Photosmart 7150 Ink Cartridges
Shop ink cartridges for your HP Photosmart 7150, which uses the HP 56 and 57 ink cartridges series. Ink Depot has supplied reliable consumables for this compact photo inkjet printer since Aug 2026. Replacing standard 56 (C6656AA) black and 57 (C6657AA) colour cartridges together helps prevent printhead starvation during photo printing. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Cartridge Yield & Real-World Usage
Page output for these cartridges is measured under ISO/IEC standards based on standard page coverage. Photo printing with the 57 (C6657AA) tri-colour cartridge uses significantly more ink per page than standard text documents printed with the 56 (C6656AA) black cartridge.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 56 | Standard | Black | 450 | $0.038 |
| 57 | Standard | Colour | 400 | $0.072 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Compatible cartridges.
Compatible Cartridges & Warranty Protection
Our compatible replacement cartridges offer a cost-effective alternative for everyday printing without compromising print output. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Learn more about performance standards in our genuine vs compatible cartridges guide.
Stocking Up & Shipping Options
If you print mostly standard documents, buying single 56 (C6656AA) black cartridges is ideal. For mixed photo and text jobs, multi-packs containing both 56 (C6656AA) and 57 (C6657AA) cartridges reduce overall ordering frequency. All compatible cartridges come backed by a money-back guarantee under our returns policy. Order your HP ink cartridges today with fast dispatch from warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99.
Pro Tip
Because the integrated printhead is built directly into the 56 (C6656AA) and 57 (C6657AA) cartridges, installing a fresh cartridge instantly provides a brand-new printhead mechanism for crisp text and photo definition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do HP 56 and 57 cartridges fit the same carriage slot in the Photosmart 7150?
No, the HP Photosmart 7150 features two distinct cartridge slots in the print carriage. The left slot holds the 56 (C6656AA) black cartridge, while the right slot holds the 57 (C6657AA) tri-colour cartridge.
What happens if one colour runs out inside the HP 57 tri-colour cartridge?
Because cyan, magenta, and yellow inks share a single physical shell in the 57 (C6657AA) cartridge, the entire colour cartridge must be replaced once any single ink colour is exhausted to maintain accurate colour balance.
Can I print in black text if the 57 tri-colour cartridge is empty?
Yes, the Photosmart 7150 can continue printing mono text documents using the dedicated 56 (C6656AA) black cartridge, though full-colour photo output requires both cartridges to have ink available.
