Don't mix these up: Durable Black is HP's pigment ink for coated, varnished and porous stock and crisp 10-mil barcodes. Unlike C8842A and C6195A, it carries an HP smart chip; this remanufactured cartridge keeps its original chip.

Chips, Printer Messages & Installation

Installing: open the print head cover on your addressing or coding system and release the empty cartridge. Pull the protective tape off the new cartridge by its tab without touching the nozzles or copper contacts, press it into the holder until it clicks and close the cover.

Printhead built in: this is an HP TIJ 2.5 cartridge (the same body as the HP 45), so the printhead is part of the cartridge and a new cartridge also renews the printhead. If print is broken, wipe the nozzle plate gently with a lint-free cloth dampened with distilled water and run a purge or prime from the system.

Between jobs: fast-drying and specialty inks dry quickly on the nozzles. Cap the cartridge or leave it in the capped station when the system sits idle.

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

What is Durable Black for?

Coated and varnished mail pieces, labels and porous stock where you need water-resistant print and sharp barcodes.

Does it include a printhead?

Yes. HP TIJ 2.5 cartridges have the printhead built in, so every new cartridge comes with fresh nozzles.

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 Long Island, NY, by USPS (2–5 business days). Expedited 1–2 day delivery is available at checkout, and shipping is free on orders over $50.
