Chips, Printer Messages & Installation

Installing: open the ink access door and wait for the carriage to stop. Press down on the old cartridge to release it, take the new one out of its bag and pull off the protective tape by its tab, without touching the copper contacts or the nozzles. Slide it into its slot at a slight upward angle until it clicks, then close the door.

Ink level messages: remanufactured HP cartridges reuse the original HP chip, so the printer may show a "used" or "non-HP" cartridge notice, or an ink gauge that reads low or "?". Press OK to continue and judge by print quality, not the gauge.

Printhead built in: the printhead is part of this cartridge, so if prints are streaky run Clean Printhead from the printer's Tools menu or HP Smart. Two cleaning cycles usually clear it.

Remanufactured vs. Compatible vs. Original

Original (OEM) cartridges are new from the printer brand and cost the most. Remanufactured cartridges, like this one, start as genuine original shells (including the original chip) that are cleaned, refilled with high-quality ink and print-tested, so they fit and communicate like the original at a fraction of the price. Compatible cartridges are built new by a third party with their own chip. Castle Ink sells remanufactured inkjet cartridges and compatible (newly manufactured) toner.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pages does the HP 901 black print?

About 200 pages, based on HP's rating for the original CC653AN. The HP 901XL black (CC654AN) prints about 700 and fits the same slot.

Is there an HP 901XL tri-color?

No. HP only makes the tri-color in standard yield (CC656AN). The XL version is black only.

Will HP 61 or HP 902 cartridges fit?

No. The OfficeJet 4500 and J4500/J4600 take HP 901 only.

Will this void my printer warranty?

No. Under the U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer can't void your printer warranty just because you used a third-party or remanufactured supply. If a non-original supply directly caused damage, that specific repair might not be covered.

How long can I store it?

Store it sealed, at room temperature and out of direct sunlight, and use it within about 24 months for best results. Once opened, install it promptly.

When will my order ship?

Orders placed by 4 PM ET, Monday through Friday, ship the same business day from California, by USPS (2–5 business days). Expedited 1–2 day delivery is available at checkout, and shipping is free on orders over $50.
