Am I better off getting 2 regular 61 black cartridges or the XL?

I thought of this too because the 2 regular ones are cheaper than a single XL. What I want to know is the ink capacity of both cartridges?

Probably the XL because you can go longer without having to stop and change the cartridge. Check the cost of both, because that is a consideration.

Clearly states on package that the XL is equivalent to up to 2.5 times the regular cartridge. I think it's worth the difference. I always buy XL when available. Shop often and you'll find you can catch a deal where 1 XL is cheaper than 2 regulars too! More details than that can be found on back of package. Look in Walmart or something and you can read it. Can't find image of back or side shot on here.

I always bought the XL , and it lasts through a good length of copying. You are probably better off buying the XL so you won't have to buy and change it so often.

Ok 1st of all the reason that you have 2 black carts. is because 1 is for regular printing and the other is for photos. Amazon has'em. Jus be sure to look for the "XL"

Check the color cartridges to see if they are all high yield (225) vs standard yield (221). I am pretty sure the black only comes in standard.

There is 564XL which is a wider cartridge. The HP 7525 photosmart, which is what I have, requires both the 564 black (narrow one) and the 564 XL black (in addition to the narrow magenta, yellow and cyan), which is annoying.

There is one black cartridge and one color cartridge. Based on my past experience these XL cartridge are well worth the higher price because they last so much longer than the regular sized cartridge. The expiration date is good to March 2015 and it's been at least six months since I purchased them. Hope this helps in your decision. I would highly recommend the purchase.

Don't remember if that is my answer or someone else's. But, I agree except for the fact I have never seen a 126 cartridge in black. I have always used the XL size and it's working out fine. Enjoy!

I have an Epson XP620 - so I don't know if the model makes any difference. The XL used in conjunction with the correct cartridge only means that there is more ink and will make more copies than the standard ink cartridge. I have only used 1 set of the Printer-Mate cartridges and so far they seem fine. I hope this answers your question. Just remember the "XL" only stands for more ink in the cartridge.

xl is extra large capacity. B is the standard cartridge, that your printer ships with

The XL version has more ink. Unfortunately I received color cartridges did not work. And I attempted to get a return/refund, but the date I found out was too late to get any help.

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.

I have had my printer for several years now and have found that the perfect combination for OUR printing needs is to use the Black XL and the regular size for the 3 colors required. Epson sells this combination as a package. They all seem to require replacement at about the same time. We do a reasonable amount of printing - but - as a rule - not pictures or intensely colored pages. If you do - I would suggest using the XL for all 4.

This deal is for black XL, but the colors are standard (lower capacity). Finding all 4 cartridges as XL is rare - maybe I saw them at Costco that way. Or maybe the colors were XL and the black XL were a separate 2-pack. However, I have been using remanufactured cartridges from abcink with all 4 as XL for the price of one black XL at Amazon.

YES ABSOLUTELY, also works w/ 61 XL. The difference from 61 and 61XL is the XL gives more pages to print. Thank you for asking!! Take care Juan!!

I don't know how many pages it will print, but I do know that it is substantially more than the regular HP60 cartridge. It is worth the price. The cost per printed page is much lower with the XL. I only buy the HP60XL in black and the regular HP60 color cartridge since I normally print in black. If you print a lot in color, the HP60XL color cartridge should be your choice.

The packaging says 2X more than standard cartridge, but that is misleading. It also indicates ~550 pages, which is also misleading. It all depends on your settings - fast copy/best quality/etc. and the actual content of the page (i.e. photos use a lot of ink). I found that using the XL cartridges are a better deal than the just the HP 564 and they don't have to be replaced as often. HP ink is still very expensive and they don't ever last as long as expected. Hope this information helps.

Its the same cartridge, the XL is suppose to mean xtra large.It did have more ink than the standard cartridge.What did happenis the remanufactured black didnt registeron the printer ink properties when the print screem comes up butiot does work. You may get an error message saying the cartridgeis out of ink, if so just press and hold down the stop/reset buttonfor 10-15 secs. It should clear it.

It is sort of a high yield cartridge. They used to be higher, 3 times the regular cartridge... Now the XL is 2x a regular cartridge. I don't know why they changed it, but it's still a better deal than the regular cartridge.
