Pro Tip
Photo black cartridges like 564 (CB317WA) and standard black cartridges like 564 (CB316WA) serve completely distinct purposes in the HP Photosmart system. Standard black ink is pigment-based for crisp text on regular paper, whereas photo black is dye-based for glossy media; ensure you purchase the correct black variant for your primary media type.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix standard 564 and high-yield 564XL cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, standard 564 and high-yield 564XL cartridges are fully interchangeable within the HP Photosmart C5373. You can install a 564XL (CN684WA) black cartridge alongside standard 564 (CB318WA) colour cartridges without causing system conflicts or print issues.
What is the difference between standard black 564 (CB316WA) and photo black 564 (CB317WA)?
Standard black 564 (CB316WA) uses pigment ink tailored for sharp text on plain copy paper. Photo black 564 (CB317WA) uses dye-based ink designed to bind with glossy photo paper for smooth tonal gradations. They sit in separate slots inside the printer printhead assembly.
Why do colour ink cartridges deplete at uneven rates during photo printing?
Photo printing blends cyan, magenta, and yellow ink in dynamic proportions based on image composition. Rich skin tones deplete magenta and yellow faster, while skies and water features deplete cyan quickly. Choosing individual replacement cartridges prevents wasting unused colours.
