Why choose the genuine HP 62 ink cartridge
Genuine HP 62 cartridge, black. Pigment ink: sharp text, water and highlighter resistant. The printer recognizes the cartridge and shows the remaining ink level.
62 or 62XL: which capacity?
The C2P04AE (200 pages) suits occasional or moderate use. From about a hundred pages a month, the C2P05AE (600 pages) costs less per page and is replaced less often; both fit the same printers.
Printers compatible with the C2P04AE
The C2P04AE is compatible with: HP Envy 5540, 5542, 5544, 5642, 5644 HP OfficeJet 200, 250, 5740, 5742, 5744.
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
200 pages per ISO/IEC 24711 (5% coverage, 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 C2P04AE suits a lightly used printer (letters, a few documents a week): the cartridge (200 pages) lasts about 2 months at 100 pages per month and a few weeks at 300 pages per month. Beyond that, the C2P05AE (600 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.
