FAQs
What does 'XL' mean in HP 364XL?
'XL' signifies a high-yield ink cartridge. It contains more ink than a standard-sized cartridge, allowing you to print approximately 550 pages before needing a replacement, offering better value per page.
Is this cartridge suitable for printing photos?
Yes, while it's a black ink cartridge, its pigment-based ink provides sharp blacks and detailed monochrome elements in photos. For full-color photo printing, it works in conjunction with your printer's color ink cartridges to produce vibrant and accurate images.
How long can I store an unopened HP 364XL cartridge?
Unopened HP ink cartridges typically have an expiration or 'warranty ends' date printed on the packaging, usually several years from the manufacturing date. For best longevity, store them in their original sealed packaging, upright, at room temperature, and away from direct sunlight.
My printer is not listed as compatible. Can I still use this cartridge?
No, this cartridge is specifically engineered to work only with the listed HP DeskJet 3522, 3524, and HP Photosmart 5522, 5524, B210c models. Using an incompatible cartridge can lead to print errors, poor print quality, or potential damage to your printer.
Why does my printer still show 'low ink' after replacing the cartridge?
This can sometimes happen if the cartridge wasn't installed correctly, or if there's a temporary communication error. Try removing the cartridge, cleaning the electrical contacts with a lint-free cloth, and reinstalling it firmly. Restarting your printer can also help reset the ink level sensors.
What is the warranty on HP 364XL cartridges?
HP’s inkjet print cartridges are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship during the period of the warranty. This period typically extends until the HP ink is depleted or the 'warranty ends' date (printed on the cartridge) has been reached, whichever occurs first.
Troubleshooting
Poor print quality, faded black text, or streaks.
Check ink levels through your printer's software. Run the printer's printhead cleaning utility (usually found in printer settings). Ensure you are using genuine HP cartridges. If issues persist, perform a printhead alignment.
Printer displays 'Ink Cartridge Problem' or 'Cartridge Missing'.
Remove the cartridge and reinstall it firmly until it clicks into place. Clean the copper electrical contacts on the cartridge and inside the printer (where the cartridge connects) with a lint-free cloth. Restart the printer.
Low page yield, not reaching the advertised 550 pages.
Page yield is an estimate based on ISO standards; actual yield varies significantly based on printed content (e.g., graphics-heavy pages use more ink). Ensure printer settings are not set to 'best quality' unnecessarily, as this consumes more ink. Printing in 'draft' mode can conserve ink.
Cartridge does not fit or is not recognized by the printer.
Verify your printer model against the compatible list (HP DeskJet 3522, 3524; HP Photosmart 5522, 5524, B210c). Ensure you have purchased the correct HP 364XL black cartridge. Double-check that all protective tape has been removed.
