HP OfficeJet 8035 Ink: HP 902 / 902XL Cartridges | Castle Ink
Last Updated:The HP OfficeJet 8035 all-in-one printer uses HP 902 or HP 902XL ink cartridges. The 902 series ships in four cartridges — black, cyan, magenta, and yellow — with high-yield XL options for heavier print volumes. Choosing the XL versions dramatically lowers your per-page cost.
