HP 962 and HP 962XL are four-cartridge ink families used by specific U.S.-region HP OfficeJet Pro printers. This guide lists the 11 models in Starink's reviewed compatibility scope, explains the individual Black and color yields, and covers the Starink smart chip, installation, HP+, firmware, storage, and recognition checks.
This is a U.S.-region compatibility guide. Confirm the complete printer model and the cartridge number on the existing cartridge before ordering. A model ending in “e” requires a separate HP+ check.
For the U.S.-region configurations covered here, HP 962XL fits 11 listed HP OfficeJet Pro models: 9010, 9012, 9013, 9014, 9015, 9016, 9018, 9019, 9020, 9025, and 9028.
The Starink compatible HP 962XL 4-Pack includes Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow cartridges. Each cartridge includes a pre-installed smart chip manufactured by Starink, so no chip transfer is required.
Listed yields are up to 2,000 pages for Black and up to 1,600 pages for each color cartridge. These ratings apply separately and should not be combined as one 4-Pack yield.
Starink reviewed the model list, package configuration, chip details, and page-yield information on September 16, 2026.
Confirm the complete model shown on the printer label or device information screen. Do not infer compatibility from a similar OfficeJet Pro model name.
The four cartridges occupy separate positions and are consumed independently. Use each rating separately when planning replacements.
| Starink Cartridge | Approximate Page Yield | Color |
|---|---|---|
| HP 962XL Black | Up to 2,000 pages | Black |
| HP 962XL Cyan | Up to 1,600 pages | Cyan |
| HP 962XL Magenta | Up to 1,600 pages | Magenta |
| HP 962XL Yellow | Up to 1,600 pages | Yellow |
Page yield is an estimate rather than a guarantee for every print environment. Coverage, images, settings, cleaning cycles, paper, and printer condition can affect actual output. Do not add the four figures together as one pack yield.
The package provides one compatible cartridge for each color position used by the listed printers.
Total package quantity: four compatible ink cartridges. Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow are separate consumables.
“Smart Chip Included” does not mean that the cartridge uses an original HP chip or that future firmware compatibility is guaranteed.
Use this comparison to review the product information that matters before ordering. Features offered by other compatible-ink sellers vary by product, so check the individual listing rather than assuming every third-party cartridge has the same configuration.
