HP 301XL Black & Colour Ink Cartridges - Black

Yes, these are genuine original HP ink cartridges, fully boxed and in original retail packaging, sourced only from authorised UK distributors.

'XL' indicates a high-capacity cartridge. It contains more ink than a standard 301 cartridge, allowing you to print more pages and offering better value over time.

Installation involves opening your printer's cartridge access door, removing the old cartridge, carefully unwrapping and removing the protective tape from the new cartridge (avoiding contacts), and snapping it into the correct slot. Please refer to the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section in this guide for detailed steps.

These cartridges are compatible with a wide range of HP Deskjet printers, including models like the 1050, 1510, 2050, 2540, 3050, and 3510 series. A full list of compatible models can be found in the 'Setup, Compatibility & Care' section of this guide.

The lifespan of the cartridges depends on your printing habits and the type of content you print. High-capacity (XL) cartridges are designed to last longer than standard cartridges. They also come with long expiry dates when purchased, ensuring freshness.

Refer to the 'Troubleshooting' section of this guide first. Common solutions include re-seating the cartridge, cleaning the electrical contacts, or restarting your printer. If the issue persists, consult your printer's user manual or HP support.

Yes, these genuine HP cartridges are covered by the full manufacturer’s warranty, ensuring quality and performance.

First, ensure the cartridge is correctly seated in its slot, pushing it firmly until it clicks. If the issue persists, remove the cartridge, gently wipe the copper-colored electrical contacts on the cartridge and inside the printer with a lint-free cloth, then reinsert. You may also need to restart your printer.

Check your printer's ink levels. If sufficient, run your printer's built-in print head cleaning cycle. Refer to your printer's manual for instructions. Ensure you are using appropriate paper settings for your print job.

While these are high-capacity (XL) cartridges, actual page yield varies based on content printed (e.g., heavy graphics use more ink). Consider using your printer's 'Draft' mode for non-critical documents. Ensure you haven't performed excessive cleaning cycles, which consume ink.
