HP Smart Tank Plus 559 Ink Bottles
Your HP Smart Tank Plus 559 uses the 31XL, 32XL ink bottles. As demonstrated by our 4.8 Google rating, we are committed to providing premium consumable cartridges. We have been supplying consumables for this printer since Jul 2025, supporting its four-tank continuous ink system. Because these bulk ink bottles hold large volumes, typical replenishment behaviour means users rarely buy single refills, usually opting for full multi-colour sets to maintain consistent, high-yield document and photo output without interruption.
Real-world fluid layout and page output
Refilling a continuous ink printer requires understanding its high-capacity nature. These high-yield bottles are measured using the ISO/IEC 24712 standard for continuous ink systems, which reflects realistic everyday document printing rather than solid graphic coverage.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 | Standard | Cyan | 8,000 | $0.003 |
| 31 | Standard | Magenta | 8,000 | $0.003 |
| 31 | Standard | Yellow | 8,000 | $0.003 |
| 32XL | High Yield | Black | 6,000 | $0.004 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Premium compatible options
When managing high print loads, choosing third-party supplies can significantly reduce your everyday running costs. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. You can read our detailed guide on the differences between genuine vs compatible cartridges to help make an informed choice for your setup.
Printhead maintenance and components
Beyond standard fluid refills, this specific continuous ink printer relies on user-replaceable print heads to maintain clean lines and accurate drop placement. If you see persistent banding or missing lines even after running a cleaning cycle, installing a fresh genuine M0H50AA or X4E75AA print head will quickly restore factory-standard performance.
Managing your ink supply and delivery
If your daily workflow consists of massive text documents, stocking up on individual 32XL black bottles keeps your printer running efficiently. For heavy graphic or family photo projects, purchasing complete multi-colour bundles ensures your colour ink levels stay balanced without unexpected dropouts mid-print. All compatible bottles purchased from us are backed by a complete money-back guarantee for your total peace of mind. For more details on replacement coverage, view our Returns policy. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply), with rapid dispatch handled through our regional distribution centres located across Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide to ensure your order arrives when you need it. You can explore the complete range of HP ink bottles and bottles available on our store.
Pro Tip
Always wait until the fluid level reaches the lower limit line on the transparent printer tanks before refilling, and ensure you pour the entire contents of the bottle into the correct tank colour to prevent air locks in the internal feed lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix genuine HP ink and compatible ink bottles in the same printer?
Yes, you can safely top up individual tanks with compatible ink while the other tanks still contain genuine HP ink, as the fluids are designed to be fully miscible without clotting.
Why does my printer show an ink alert after I have completely refilled the physical tanks?
Continuous ink printers do not have internal physical sensors to read the exact fluid levels; you must manually reset the internal ink level counter through the printer control panel or maintenance software after every refill.
How do I know when it is time to change the print heads instead of just adding more ink?
If your text prints appear blurry or colours are missing entirely even when the ink tanks are full, and multiple software-driven head cleanings fail to clear the blockages, the physical print head nozzles have reached the end of their functional lifecycle and require replacement.
