Cheap HP 67: where do you really save?

Cheap means the right cartridge at the lowest price per page that you'll actually use up — not the lowest box price.

Black and tri-color are listed separately: you always need one of each. Each line uses the top-ranked offer for that cartridge; cost per page excludes shipping and sales tax.

Start with the right cartridge

The wrong product is never cheap. Check your printer model, then black or tri-color, then standard or XL. Compare offers by the part numbers 3YM55AN to 3YM58AN, not just product titles — and make sure it's HP 67, not the European HP 305.

Five parts of the real price

  1. Item price for exactly the same part number.
  2. Shipping — HP Store US ships ink free; for other retailers we only show shipping terms we've verified.
  3. Sales tax — US prices here are before tax, which depends on your state.
  4. Stated yield, to compare standard and XL fairly.
  5. Return risk — with alternatives a good returns policy is worth something.

Current result

At the currently checked prices, 67XL has the lower cost per page for 2 of 2 compared colors. This is a snapshot; the result can change when retailer prices change.

Extra 67 → XL price and capacity

  • Black: +$13.00 for 120 extra stated pages
  • Tri-color: +$13.00 for 100 extra stated pages

Cost per 100 black pages: 67 $19.08 · 67XL $14.95. The yield is HP's stated figure under ISO/IEC 24711 with continuous printing; actual yield can vary considerably.

When is standard still cheaper?

If you print very little, a lower purchase price can be more useful than capacity that sits unused for a long time. XL pays off once you actually use the extra ink.

Cheaper with an alternative?

Alternatives are often cheaper than the original, but their yield is the seller's own figure and hasn't been tested:

Questions about buying cheaply

Is the HP 67 2-pack (3YP29AN) cheaper than two single cartridges?

The official 2-pack 3YP29AN contains one standard black and one standard tri-color cartridge. Whether it's cheaper than buying them separately depends on the current pack price versus the sum of the single prices — compare both before you buy. HP doesn't sell an HP 67XL 2-pack in the US; its US-only combo 3YP30AN pairs one 67XL Black with one standard 67 Tri-color.

How do I work out the cost per page of an HP 67 cartridge?

Cost per page = cartridge price ÷ stated page yield. For HP 67 Black (3YM56AN, about 120 pages) and HP 67XL Black (3YM57AN, about 240 pages), divide each current price by its yield. HP's yield is an average under ISO/IEC 24711 with continuous printing; with occasional printing or lots of color photos your real yield can differ.

Will I always get HP 67's stated page yield?

Not necessarily. HP's figure (120/100/240/200 pages) is an average measured under ISO/IEC 24711 by printing a test document continuously. Occasional printing, cleaning cycles after long idle periods and pages with heavy color coverage all reduce the real yield compared with HP's figure.

Can firmware affect compatible cartridges?

Yes. HP Store US states dynamic security on the product pages of the DeskJet 2855e, DeskJet 4255e and ENVY 6455e, among others: these printers are intended only for cartridges with new or reused HP electronic circuitry, and periodic firmware updates can block cartridges that worked before. Whether an alternative keeps working therefore depends on its chip and on future updates.

How do I judge a compatible cartridge without test data?

Check the seller, the exact list of printer models, chip information, warranty, returns and how open they are about the contents. Don't treat a yield claim as an independently proven result.

What's the difference between compatible and remanufactured?

'Compatible' is a broad label for an alternative, often newly made. Remanufactured means a returned cartridge shell has been cleaned and refilled. The onn. and DoorStepInk HP 67 cartridges on Walmart.com, for example, are sold as remanufactured. What exactly a seller supplies should be stated on the product page.
