FAQ

How many pages does HP 85A print?

The HP 85A prints 1,600 pages (85a black). Real-world yield depends on how much ink each page uses — ISO ratings assume about 5% coverage.

Is the XL version of HP 85A worth it?

Usually yes. The high-yield version costs more upfront but its lower cost per page (down to 4.1¢) makes it cheaper if you print regularly. For occasional printing, standard is fine.

What's the cheapest way to run HP 85A?

Buy the highest-yield (XL) cartridge for the best cost per page, print in draft mode for everyday pages, and consider trusted compatible or remanufactured cartridges if your printer allows them.
