HP Photosmart C410a Ink Cartridges
Your HP Photosmart C410a uses the HP 564 ink cartridges, a photo printer designed for producing rich lab-quality colour prints alongside everyday documents. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Jan 2009. High-volume photo printing depletes colour tanks and 564 (CB317WA) photo black ink faster, while upgrading to 564XL (CN684WA) high-yield black cartridges keeps document printing cost-effective. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected page output and ink usage
Standard page yields for HP 564 cartridges are determined using ISO/IEC 24711 testing standards. Photo printing and full-bleed graphics consume colour ink significantly faster than standard text documents, causing variations in practical page output.

Selecting the ideal ink setup
If you print mainly text, upgrading to 564XL (CN684WA) high-yield black cartridges yields roughly double the pages compared to standard 564 (CB316WA) tanks. If you print photos, multi-packs offer better overall value across all four colour channels and photo black. All genuine products are backed by our returns policy.

Key buying tip
Always verify whether you need standard black 564 (CB316WA) or photo black 564 (CB317WA) before ordering, as they fit separate dedicated slots in the printer and are not interchangeable.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 564 photo black and standard 564 black cartridges?
Standard black 564 (CB316WA) uses pigment ink designed for crisp text on plain paper, whereas photo black 564 (CB317WA) uses dye-based ink formulated specifically for glossy photo papers.
Can I mix standard 564 and high-yield 564XL cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, standard 564 and 564XL cartridges share identical external dimensions and fit into the same printer slots, so you can mix capacity sizes across different colour channels as needed.
Why does my HP Photosmart C410a run out of photo black ink faster than regular black?
The printer automatically selects photo black when printing on photo media or selecting high-quality image settings, which rapidly depletes the photo black cartridge while leaving text black ink unused.
