My Officejet 4630 series is running low on black ink. Which am I to buy: HP 61 ink for $14.22 or HP 61XL for $35.49?

Just purchased HP 61xl from walmart for 29.98, I would get the XL, much more printing for the dollar.

Hi James, your printer, according to HP will take a HP 61 replacement black ink cartridge...its your choice.

The answer to your question mainly depends on how much printing you do. Most cartridges are only good for about 6 months after you install them. I guess the ink dries out within 6 months after the package is opened. If you don't do much printing over a 6-month period, it would be a waste of money to purchase the XL Cartridges. More ink doesn't do any good for you if it dries out before you use it all. Hope this helps you decide.

You always can get a better deal from K-mart or Wallmart, but will spend more on driving there.... :-)

I think it would depend if you are talking about a regular typed page or something requiring an excessive amount of ink. Also, are you sure your cartridge is not expired and actually drying up? Several variables? Is it exceptionally hot where your printer is located?? You might google HP 61 and see if it tells you how many "normal" pages of typing you should get? Hope this may help??

The 940XL black fits fine. I have one in my machine now. HP says the XL colors work also, but I haven't tried that yet. The standard size colors are a tight fit, so the XL would have to be nearly the same size. Not sure how you get increased ink in the same size cartridge. But HP says it works fine.

1st, this is the best printer I have ever had. If this person had that problem with their printer, it had to something they are doing something wrong. I am checking my number on the ink.............ok no, it is 61 not 60. I love this printer. It works everytime and I am glad I can just use black. Also I can run out of 1 color and the black still works. Some printers do not do this. Usually when you run out of 1 color you have to replace it before the black works. Annae'

HP 901 black AND 901 color. get the XL if you do a fair amount of printing, it's more economical

The XL's must have more ink because the last longer. I have used regular and XL and the XL really does last longer and I think it is the best deal for the money. FYI- the Magenta cartridge had very low ink when I first installed it. It was nice though because my HP printer could read the ink levels. These must be recycled HP cartridges.

According to HP, for black ink, use HP 74 or 74xl and for color use HP 75 or 75xl. If you are printing photographs, you can use HP 99 but this is seldom done that I know of.

I have the lexmark x5650 as well and the 36xl and 37xl work perfectly. The cartridge just contain twice the ink.

Sorry I was wrong before, I forgot that I use the XL cartridges. You will only get around 700 out of the starter kits. If you go to purchase the ink, I would go to HP directly. The price is usually lower than you can get anywhere else and you can often find coupons for discounts.

61XL gives you more printed pages than the 61. Unformatuately, the one I received gave me almost no pages and just stopped. That cartridge generally lasts me a long time, I don't to a lot of printing and it saves ordering so much.

Standard HP950 black does 1000 pages and standard HP951 color(s) do 700 pages. The XL versions HP950XL does 2300 pages and HP951XL does 1500 pages. So, the XL's cost about 50% more but provide at least twice the printing, and hence are a better buy. The Standard or XL combined with this machine's newer technology are MUCH more economical than most of the older printer models, effectively reducing your expendable costs - the ink - by at least 50%. This, alone justifies junking your current Officejet even if it is working fine. Plus the 8620 has ePrint, wireless, and better resolutions and print speeds. What's not to like?

According to the HP website, 61 and 61XL are the replacement cartridges. Are you certain that you are working with a 2050?

Hi, I use #920XL for my HP6500A Plus lazerjet printer. I think XL means extra large. The direct phone #to HP is 1-(860) 675-4237. They will be happy to tell you if OK. My pkg. says for 6000, 6500, 6500A, 7000,7500 and 7500A. Pretty sure it will work for your system. Good luck.
