Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Ink Options
Choosing compatible HP 31 and 32XL ink bottles offers high-volume printing at a lower purchase price without compromising print quality. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. For a detailed comparison between OEM and third-party refill options, read our guide on genuine vs compatible cartridges.
Print Head Replacement Components
The HP Smart Tank Plus 559 uses thermal print heads alongside refill bottles. Experience Tip: The M0H50AA black print head and X4E75AA tri-colour print head are long-life consumable replacement parts designed to preserve fine text sharpness over thousands of refills.
Managing Refills and Ordering Options
If you print mainly text documents, keeping an extra 32XL (1VV24AA) black ink bottle on hand prevents unexpected downtime during large print runs. If you print photos or high-colour graphics, replacing 31 (1VU26AA) cyan, magenta, and yellow ink bottles in balanced sets ensures accurate colour reproduction. Compatible ink bottles are backed by a money-back guarantee under our returns policy if you encounter any issue. We dispatch fast from warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Smart Tank Refill Tip
Always allow ink bottles to drain fully into the tank reservoir using the spill-free nozzle without squeezing the bottle, as forced pressure can introduce unwanted air bubbles into the print head supply lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix genuine HP ink with compatible ink in the Smart Tank Plus 559 reservoir?
Yes, compatible 31 and 32XL ink formulations are fully miscible with remaining genuine HP ink inside the tank reservoirs, allowing smooth top-ups without flushing the system.
How do I know when to replace the M0H50AA or X4E75AA print heads?
Unlike ink bottles which are refilled regularly, print heads are replaced only when persistent streakiness or missing lines occur that automated alignment routines cannot restore.
Do HP 31 colour ink bottles expire if stored unopened?
Unopened HP 31 and 32XL ink bottles have a long shelf life of up to 24 months when kept in a cool, dark location away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
