Make the Most of Your Hp 920xl Inkjet Cartridges

Inkjet cartridges, like the Hp 920xl inkjet cartridge, are among the parts of the printer that is replaceable and would , in fact,  need to be replaced regularly. And you know what that means: regular expenses for you.

The inkjet cartridge typically contains the print head and the ink which bonds with paper and produces the printed image. The good news is that if you are using an HP inkjet cartridge like this, you are using one of the most well known brands in the industry and around the world. But this brand, and particularly if you are going to use genuine HP ink cartridge – also called an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) inkjet cartridge – is significantly more expensive than lesser known brands as well as compatible and remanufactured cartridges. So you need to have a clear idea of how you can make the most of your Hp 920xl ink cartridge and get great value for your money.

Here are some tips:

You should know your inkjet cartridges. Try to learn as much as you can about this brand and about inkjet cartridges in particular. A genuine or original equipment manufacturer ink cartridge is made by the same company that made the printer that you are using. Original HP ink, according to HP, produces twice as many printed pages compared to refills, promises reliable prints “the first time and every time.”

Remanufactured inkjet cartridges, on the other hand, are recycled cartridges manufactured by third-party companies and do not carry the name of the printer manufacturer. Compatible inkjet cartridges are also from third party firms. But unlike remanufactured ink cartridges, compatible inkjet cartridges are brand new.

Plan how you print. Since you are using genuine HP ink cartridge, it’s not smart to use the ink for printing in bulk particularly if you don’t really need high quality prints. Using the ink for constant printing in bulk will only drive up your printing costs.

Make full use of the high quality print images that the brand produces. HP ink cartridges in particular -- thanks to the company’s many proprietary technologies – produce vibrant prints, vivid colors, tight edges, and bold, dark black prints. So why not have these beautiful print results when printing photos? Use the HP ink for printing all those great family vacation photos so you can have as many colorful and vivid prints as you want. And these gorgeous printed photos would last a long time, too, because this brand’s ink is fade resistant.  

Another reason to use HP ink for printing photos is that it dries quickly. A quick drying inkjet cartridge helps you print more and print faster. At the same time, since the ink dries quickly, you won’t be having those annoying smudges on the print outs. Use the OEM photo papers –HP has a wide range of them – if your budget allows. HP’s papers use what they call “ColorLok” technology which makes the paper water resistant and fast-drying and help come up with high quality printed materials.

The prices, as mentioned earlier, would be higher than lesser known brands and brands that are not from the original equipment manufacturer. However, you can still save a significant amount of money by buying the ink cartridges in multipacks or value packs or combo packs instead of just one cartridge at a time. HP ink cartridges also come in combo packs which carry the HP cartridge with the HP paper.

Ask the store if they offer discounted prices for Hp 920xl ink cartridges that are bought at a certain number; by the dozen, for example.
