Deskjet 2624

Hi,

I am a student and my printing costs are going too high, so thinking of refilling the ink cartridges.

I have an HP Deskjet 2624 which uses 65 or 65XL ink.

1. if I refill the cartridges, will the printer accept it or will I have to reset it or turn of protected cartridges

2. what is the difference between the ink cartridges  601, 61, 62, 63, and 65.

3, Will there be any issue if I refill my 65 type ink cartridge with 63 type ink

 

Thanks in advance

@KK_USC, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

Here's the thing, yes, you can refill your cartridges or use remanufactured cartridges, but you may run into problems.HP will not guarantee the functionality of those ink cartridges.

 

QualityLogic, one of the world's foremost quality assurance organizations, tested the performance of HP inkjet print cartridges vs. remanufactured (refilled) brands. The results: original HP inkjet print cartridges far surpassed ink refills in both print quality and reliability.


Nearly one out of every six refilled ink cartridges tested was dead on arrival or failed prematurely
70% of refilled cartridges had some form of reliability problem.


Count on HP original ink cartridges for consistent, worry-free printing. You may think you're saving money on remanufactured or refilled ink cartridges, but in the long run, the cost of wasted time, ink, and paper can more than make up the difference.

 

Also, you can consider enrolling in the HP Instant Ink program to save the ink cost.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
