HP Photosmart C4200 Ink Cartridges
Your HP Photosmart C4200 uses the HP 74 and 75 ink cartridge series. The HP Photosmart C4200 is a compact all-in-one printer designed for everyday home document printing and photo copying. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable consumables for this printer since Jan 2007.

Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
HP calculates page yields using ISO/IEC 24711 standard testing for inkjet cartridges. The 74 (CB335WA) black cartridge yields approximately 220 pages, whereas the 75 (CB337WA) tri-colour cartridge delivers around 170 pages based on standard 5% page coverage.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 74 | Standard | Black | 220 | $0.21 |
| 75 | Standard | Colour | 170 | $0.36 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Selecting the right cartridge setup
If you print mainly text documents, purchasing two-packs of 74 (CB335WA) black cartridges reduces replacement frequency. If you print photos or graphics, keeping a spare 75 (CB337WA) tri-colour cartridge ensures consistent colour blending without sudden ink starvation. All genuine HP ink cartridges are backed by our transparent returns policy. We ship directly from warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99.
Pro Tip
Because tri-colour cartridges integrate cyan, magenta, and yellow into a single unit, replacing the 75 (CB337WA) cartridge as soon as one colour drops low prevents uneven print tones in document graphics and photos.
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when one colour runs out in the HP 75 (CB337WA) tri-colour cartridge?
The 75 (CB337WA) tri-colour cartridge contains cyan, magenta, and yellow inks in separate internal chambers. If one colour depletes completely, prints will experience colour shifting, requiring the entire tri-colour cartridge to be replaced to restore full colour accuracy.
Can I print in black text if my HP 75 (CB337WA) colour cartridge is empty?
Most HP Photosmart printers allow temporary single-cartridge printing using only the 74 (CB335WA) black cartridge, though replacing the empty colour cartridge promptly prevents printhead nozzles from drying out.
How long do genuine HP 74 (CB335WA) and 75 (CB337WA) ink cartridges last when stored?
Unopened genuine HP 74 (CB335WA) and 75 (CB337WA) cartridges typically have a shelf life of up to 18 to 24 months when stored in their sealed packaging in a cool, dark room.
