What Ink Does the HP Deskjet 2852e Use?
Last Updated:
Quick answer: The HP Deskjet 2852e uses HP 67 standard or HP 67XL high-yield ink cartridges — one Black and one Tri-Color. The "e" in 2852e indicates the printer is HP+ / Instant Ink eligible; the cartridge requirement is identical to the standard 2800 series.
HP 67 vs. HP 67XL Page Yields
- HP 67 Black — ~120 pages
- HP 67XL Black — ~240 pages
- HP 67 Tri-Color — ~100 pages
- HP 67XL Tri-Color — ~200 pages
HP+ / Instant Ink Considerations
HP Deskjet 2852e printers ship with HP+ enabled, which requires genuine HP cartridges and an internet connection. If you want to use compatible cartridges with your 2852e, you can decline HP+ during setup or opt out of HP+ after setup — once you do, third-party cartridges work normally.
Our Recommendation
Once HP+ is disabled, the compatible HP 67XL Black + Tri-Color bundle from Castle Ink cuts your ink costs by more than half compared to OEM while delivering equal page yields and print quality. For a 2852e owner printing 100+ pages a month, the XL bundle usually lasts 2–3 months.
How to Replace HP 67 Cartridges in the Deskjet 2852e
- Turn the printer on and open the front access door.
- Wait for the cartridge carriage to stop moving.
- Press down on the old cartridge and pull toward you to remove it.
- Remove the protective tape from the new HP 67XL cartridge.
- Slide the new cartridge into the matching slot at a slight upward angle until it clicks.
- Close the door — the printer will auto-align.
