What is included in the 4-Pack?

The 4-Pack contains four cartridges: one Black, one Cyan, one Magenta, and one Yellow. Each color is supplied as a separate cartridge.

How many pages does each cartridge print?

Starink HP 972X Black yields up to 10,000 pages. Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow each yield up to 7,000 pages per cartridge. Actual yield varies with print content, settings, print frequency, and maintenance cycles.

Is page yield per cartridge or per 4-Pack?

Page yield applies to each individual cartridge. Black yields up to 10,000 pages, while each color yields up to 7,000 pages. The four individual yields should not be added together as one total pack yield.

Do these cartridges include Smart Chips?

Yes. Each Starink HP 972X cartridge includes a pre-installed Smart Chip. No manual chip transfer is required.

Are these cartridges compatible or remanufactured?

Starink HP 972X cartridges are compatible replacement cartridges. This product is not a remanufactured cartridge set.

What is the difference between HP 972A and HP 972X?

HP 972A is the standard-capacity cartridge family, while HP 972X is the high-yield version. This Starink 4-Pack contains compatible HP 972X cartridges.

Can I replace each color separately?

Yes. Black, Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow are separate cartridges, so each color can be replaced individually.

Will these cartridges fit a printer purchased in another region?

HP cartridge numbers vary by region. Confirm that your exact PageWide Pro model uses HP 972A or 972X cartridges before ordering; a similar printer name alone does not confirm compatibility.

Will a printer firmware update affect these cartridges?

Starink cartridges are tested with current printer firmware. Manufacturers can release updates that change how cartridges are recognized, so compatibility with future firmware updates cannot be guaranteed. Before installing, see our guide to turning off automatic printer firmware updates.

Starink vs. Other Options

Page yield may look similar, but the setup, day-to-day experience, warranty, and support can be very different.
