One of the biggest problems with buying replacement printer cartridges is trying to get the best value for money amongst all the different cartridges that are available. There are original cartridges which everyone says are the best quality but have hardly any ink in them. The there are compatible which people say damage your machine. Then there are refills which can leak in to the printer. Finally you have remanufactured printer cartridges which no one seems to know what remanufactured means – are they just the same as refills?
Well, with all these different choices, you ca be forgiven for being a little confused.. Most people have a quick look on the internet to see what everyone else is buying and then make their choice according to the information available. However, the question which seems to reoccur again and again is “just how much ink is there in my cartridge?” and “how much ink should be in my cartridge?”.
This article aims to provide an insight in to how to ascertain whether you are getting the maximum amount of ink for your particular printer cartridge. As an example, we will look at one of the most popular HP printer cartridges – the HP56.
The HP number 56 ink cartridge (C6656) comes in 3 versions.Â
Version 1:Â Original HP brand “light user” cartridge: Ink capacity 4.5ml
The fist thing to be aware of is the full code: C6656GE. The GE part at the end is what signifies that it is a light user. As you will see in the next paragraph, this suffix is different to that high capacity cartridge. You should be aware that on this cartridge, the short code is simply HP56 – this remains the same, regardless of the type (High Capacity or Light user).
Version 2:Â Original HP brand “high capacity” cartridge: Ink capacity 19ml
This cartridge has 14.5ml more than the light user cartridge. That is 322% more ink. The code for this high capacity cartridge is C6656…but here’s where it gets tricky. The suffix on the end can be either AN, AC, AE or AL. For example: C6656AN. Don’t ask why they’ve done it this way; it does make it difficult for people to know which to buy. The best way to remember it is to say that for the HP C6656 – the suffix G is low capacity and A is high capacity.
 Version 3: Remanufactured HP 56 “high capacity” cartridge: Ink capacity 24ml.
Ok, first thing is that not all remanufactured cartridges are filled to 24ml. However, this is the maximum level which the HP56 will allow. The first thing to check before you buy is the ink level. Good sellers will always indicate on the product page, exactly how much ink is contained within the printer cartridge. So, always make sure you are getting the full 24ml. 24ml is a massive 433% increase on the HP light user cartridge, but this becomes even more dramatic when you consider that the price of a maximum capacity remanufactured HP 56 is usually about HALF of the standard HP one. So you are getting 433% more ink for 50% of the price! To put this in to perspective, you would have to buy 6 of the original HP cartridges to get the same amount of ink as a single one of the maximum capacity remanufactured cartridges.
 So, remember you 3 steps to getting the maximum amount of ink from your printer cartridge:
 1, Always find out what the full codes are for the high capacity and standard versions.
2, Always find out the maximum ink levels for your cartridge
3, Always check the amount of ink contained within the cartridge you are considering buying – this should be displayed within the product details.
You can find capacity guides for the rest of the HP inkjet range and also other brands such as Canon, Epson etc at Coloursave Printer Cartridges.
