Why choose the genuine HP 912 ink cartridge
Genuine HP 912 cartridge, magenta. Ink formulated for the print head of these printers: faithful colors, fast drying, no clogged nozzles. The printer recognizes the cartridge and shows the remaining ink level.
912 or 912XL: which capacity?
The 3YL78AE (315 pages) suits occasional or moderate use. From about a hundred pages a month, the 3YL82AE (700 pages) costs less per page and is replaced less often; both fit the same printers.
Printers compatible with the 3YL78AE
The 3YL78AE is compatible with: HP OfficeJet 8010e, 8012, 8014, 8015 HP OfficeJet Pro 8020e, 8022, 8023, 8024, 8025.
Check the exact reference of your printer (label at the back or Information menu); suffixes (dn, dw, fdw, n) are variants of the same series and use the same consumables.
Page yield
315 pages per ISO/IEC 24711 (5% coverage per color, letter-type documents). Graphics or photo-heavy pages reduce the actual yield. The cost per page shown next to the price is calculated from the current price and this yield.
Installation and maintenance
Replace with the printer on: open the cartridge door, wait for the carriage to stop, press the empty cartridge to release it, unpack the new one, remove the orange tab without touching contacts or nozzles, insert until it clicks and close; the printer aligns the cartridges if needed. Used cartridges: free return through HP Planet Partners.
Use and tips
The 3YL78AE suits a lightly used printer (letters, a few documents a week): the cartridge (315 pages) lasts about 3 months at 100 pages per month and about 1 months at 300 pages per month. Beyond that, the 3YL82AE (700 pages) costs less per page.
Keep the printer plugged in and on: it maintains its nozzles and uses very little power in standby; print a color page every two weeks. Store cartridges in their packaging away from heat and install them before the printed date. At the "Ink low" alert, order; the printer prints until it stops. Genuine cartridges protect the print head and the HP warranty; a cartridge bought for another region is not recognized.
