Always reliable ink cartridge
I love the XL quality of it as I do not need to change the cartridge regularly. Easy to install and remove when empty. Never had an issue with a HP cartridge.

Beware of the warranty date
Have been using and purchasing these cartridges through Good Guys for a while. The latest purchased online had a warranty date of 2020. HP have very clever firmware that ensures that older cartridges dont work and my printer was useless because Good Guys sent me almost 4 year old stock. . Rang my local store to see what solution they had and was told I had to return the product to get a credit/refund (as long as they deem that appropriate). The reason why I purchase online is because I cant easily get to a store. So now to drive to the local store, return the faulty products (almost $200 worth of cartridges) and then try and get newer cartridges that will work. Honestly starting to think about a new printer if this continues to happen.

Q: Is HP 905XL the same size as regular HP 905?
A: Yes. HP 905XL fits the same compatible HP OfficeJet printers as the standard 905 cartridge. The difference is yield, not fit, so the XL version is the better pick if you print often and want fewer cartridge changes.
Q: Which printers use the HP 905XL Black cartridge?
A: HP 905XL Black is listed for HP OfficeJet 6950, OfficeJet Pro 6960 and OfficeJet Pro 6970 series printers. It is not a universal HP cartridge, so check the printer model before buying rather than matching by cartridge colour alone.
Q: Does this cartridge print colour as well as black text?
A: No. This is a black-only cartridge designed for crisp black text, forms and other monochrome documents. It does not replace any colour cartridge, so colour printing still requires the correct compatible colour ink to be installed.
Q: How long does the HP 905XL Black cartridge usually last?
A: HP 905XL Black is rated for 825 pages, so it suits regular document printing better than very light use. Actual life varies with page coverage and print habits, and heavy graphics or dense text will use ink faster than simple text pages.
Q: Is this a genuine HP cartridge or a refill option?
A: This is a genuine HP original ink cartridge, model T6M17AA. It is made for compatible HP OfficeJet printers to recognise directly, which matters if you want the intended fit and printer-to-cartridge communication rather than a refill-style option.
Q: Will this suit occasional home printing or frequent office use?
A: This cartridge suits frequent black document printing better than occasional use because it is an XL high-capacity cartridge. It can still be used at home, but the higher upfront spend makes more sense when the printer is used regularly.
