FAQs
What is the page yield of the HP 655 Black Ink Cartridge?
The HP 655 Black Ink Cartridge has an estimated page yield of 550 pages. This is an average based on ISO/IEC 24711 or HP testing methodology and actual yield varies considerably based on content of printed pages and other factors.
Is this a pigment-based or dye-based ink?
The black ink in the HP 655 cartridge is pigment-based, which helps produce crisp, sharp text and offers good resistance to water and fading.
How do I know if this cartridge is compatible with my printer?
Refer to the 'Compatible Printers' section in this guide or check your printer's manual. This cartridge is specifically designed for certain HP DeskJet Ink Advantage series and other listed HP Deskjet, Officejet, and Fax models.
Can I refill this ink cartridge?
HP cartridges are designed for optimal performance as original, single-use products. While third-party refilling services may exist, HP does not guarantee the quality, reliability, or page yield of refilled cartridges, and their use may void your printer's warranty.
How should I store an unused HP 655 cartridge?
Store unused cartridges in their original, unopened packaging at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and extreme hot or cold conditions. Avoid storing them on their side or upside down.
My printer is prompting me to align the cartridges after installation. Is this normal?
Yes, it is normal for HP printers to prompt an alignment after installing a new ink cartridge. This process ensures the cartridges are correctly aligned for optimal print quality and prevents issues like streaking or blurry text. Follow the on-screen instructions on your printer or computer.
Troubleshooting
Printer displays 'Cartridge Missing' or 'Error'
Remove the cartridge and reinstall it firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure all protective tapes have been removed. If the issue persists, clean the copper-colored electrical contacts on the cartridge and inside the printer with a lint-free cloth.
Poor print quality (faded text, streaks)
First, check the ink levels. If sufficient, try running the printhead cleaning utility from your printer's software. Ensure you are using appropriate paper settings for your print job. If the problem continues, replace the cartridge.
Cartridge runs out quickly
The HP 655 Black cartridge is a standard yield with an estimated 550-page yield. Actual yield can vary significantly based on content printed, average page coverage, and print modes. Printing graphics-heavy documents or using 'Best' quality mode consumes more ink. Consider adjusting print settings to 'Draft' or 'Normal' for everyday documents to conserve ink.
