Quick Answer: What Printers Use HP 61 and HP 61XL Ink?

Starink HP 61XL ink fits the listed U.S. printers that use HP 61 / 61XL Black and Tri-color cartridges, grouped under HP DeskJet 1000, 1510, 2000, 2500, and 3000 Series; HP ENVY 4500 and 5530 Series; and HP OfficeJet 2620 and 4630 Series. This guide lists 48 distinct models across nine series pages. Match your exact model and cartridge number before ordering.

The Starink remanufactured HP 61XL 2-Pack includes one Black cartridge rated up to 650 pages and one Tri-color cartridge rated up to 450 pages. Each cartridge has an original OEM chip reused and already installed, so no chip transfer is required.

HP 61 / 61XL Compatible Printers: Full Model List

The following U.S. printer models are included in Starink's HP 61XL compatibility list. Select a printer series page to view the matching cartridge information for that family.

The series names above follow Starink's printer-page groupings. For example, DeskJet 3510 is included on the DeskJet 3000 Series page. Compatibility applies to the 48 models listed, not every printer with a similar series name. Regional cartridge requirements can differ.

HP 61 Black and Tri-color: What Is Included in the Starink 61XL 2-Pack?

The Starink HP 61XL 2-Pack contains two remanufactured cartridges: one Black and one Tri-color. Both cartridges arrive with original OEM chips reused and already installed.

This is a Black + Tri-color 2-Pack. The Tri-color cartridge contains the color ink system used by compatible HP 61 / 61XL printers; Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow are not supplied as three separate cartridges in this product.

HP 61 vs. HP 61XL: What Is the Difference?

In the legacy Original HP range, HP 61 is standard capacity and HP 61XL is the higher-yield option for the same compatible printer family. Both use a Black cartridge and a separate Tri-color cartridge. XL refers to capacity; it does not make a cartridge compatible with every HP printer.

Legacy Original HP yields above are documented in HP's ENVY 5530 datasheet. HP describes a refresh of the HP 61 lineup, including updated names and configurations. Check the exact SKU and packaging when comparing newer Original HP products.

HP 61XL Black and Tri-color Page Yields

The Starink HP 61XL Black cartridge is rated up to 650 pages; the Tri-color cartridge is rated up to 450 pages. These are separate cartridge yields, not a combined 1,100-page pack yield.

Starink figures come from the Starink HP 61XL product specifications; legacy Original HP figures come from the HP datasheet linked above. Published ratings are not a controlled head-to-head test. This guide does not establish identical test conditions between brands.

A printed page can use both cartridges. Actual output depends on page coverage, print settings, photos, cleaning cycles, and printer use. Photo-heavy pages can use substantially more ink than text documents.

Original OEM Chip Reused: No Chip Transfer Required

Each Starink remanufactured HP 61XL cartridge has an original OEM chip reused and already installed, so no manual chip transfer is required. Ink-level monitoring is supported after installation.

“Original OEM Chip Reused” describes the chip on the Starink remanufactured cartridge. The finished Starink cartridge is not a new Original HP cartridge.

Printer firmware, printer settings, and device conditions can still affect cartridge recognition or the ink information shown by the printer.

What Is a Remanufactured HP 61XL Ink Cartridge?

Can HP 61XL Remanufactured Ink Replace HP 61 Cartridges?

Yes. Starink remanufactured HP 61XL ink cartridges can replace HP 61 or HP 61XL cartridges in the compatible U.S. printer models listed in this guide. The Black and Tri-color 2-Pack includes one cartridge of each type, with reused original OEM chips already installed. Confirm your exact printer model and regional cartridge requirements before ordering.

Shop Starink remanufactured HP 61XL ink cartridges.

A remanufactured HP 61XL cartridge is made using suitable components from a previously used OEM cartridge that are professionally recovered, cleaned, refilled, assembled, and tested before shipment. Starink HP 61XL cartridges also reuse original OEM chips that are already installed on the finished cartridges.

“Compatible” describes whether a cartridge works with a printer; “remanufactured” describes how it was produced. The Starink HP 61XL product covered here is a remanufactured replacement, not a new Original HP cartridge. Check the chip and cartridge details of other products individually.

HP 61XL Cartridge Not Recognized: What to Check First

First confirm the HP 61 / 61XL cartridge family, exact printer model, protective tape, and cartridge seating. Also record the exact message shown by the printer so you can distinguish a recognition issue from a print-quality problem.

If the message appeared after a printer update, read our firmware troubleshooting guide . An error appearing after an update does not by itself confirm the cause.

If the problem continues, contact Starink with your order number, exact printer model, and a photo of the error message.

HP 61XL and Automatic Printer Firmware Updates

Printer firmware updates can change how a printer recognizes third-party or remanufactured cartridges. Reusing an original OEM chip does not guarantee compatibility with every future firmware version.

To reduce unexpected recognition changes when using third-party ink, Starink recommends turning off automatic printer firmware updates before installation when that setting is available on your printer.

See how to turn off automatic firmware updates .

Starink HP 61XL vs. Original HP and Other Replacement Ink

Compare cartridge type, Black and Tri-color configuration, chip setup, page yield, and exact printer compatibility before ordering. Check each listing for current pricing and product details.

All yields are per individual cartridge. Starink: up to 650 Black and 450 Tri-color pages. Legacy Original HP 61XL: approximately 480 Black and 330 Tri-color pages, as documented in the HP datasheet above. Actual yields vary. Ratings belong only to the linked Starink product; they are not reviews of Original HP ink.
