What is the difference between standard and XL cartridges?
The difference in Standard and XL cartridges is primarily the page yield. XL cartridges will print more pages than a Standard cartridge. They are designed to fit the same printer models and can be interchanged at any time. XL cartridges are a bit more expensive than standard cartridges, however they are actually more cost-effective as the XL cartridge allows you to print almost double the amount with some models, making the average printing cost per page lower. If you print on a regular basis or want to save money in the long run, the XL cartridge will provide savings and also last you longer periods so you do not need to order ink as frequently. If you do not print very often then a standard cartridge will get the job done.
-
How do I find the right cartridge for my printer?
You can find the cartridge name/number on your old ink cartridge. Also, the owner's manual will have the cartridge type and number, which is usually found in the cartridge replacement or device maintenance sections of the owner's manual.
