Choosing HP 65 ink starts with more than the number on the box. Check whether you need standard HP 65 or HP 65XL, black or tri-color, and a single cartridge or a pack. Then confirm your exact printer model and the condition of the product you are ordering.
Shop HP 65 and HP 65XL ink cartridges to compare the available options.
HP 65 vs 65XL: which cartridge reference do you need?
Standard and XL are different cartridge designations. Our HP 65 family listings use the following references. Match the complete reference and color, and confirm support for that designation in your printer documentation before choosing.
- HP 65 standard black: N9K02AN.
- HP 65 standard tri-color: N9K01AN.
- HP 65XL black: N9K04AN.
- HP 65XL tri-color: N9K03AN.
Do not assume every cartridge or multipack has the same capacity. Review the yield information on the specific listing. This guide does not assign a numerical page yield or promise a particular cost per page for remanufactured cartridges.
Black or tri-color?
A black cartridge and a tri-color cartridge are separate purchasing choices. Choose the color your printer needs rather than treating the two as interchangeable. For example, our HP 65 N9K01AN remanufactured tri-color cartridge is a standard-yield listing containing one tri-color cartridge, not a black cartridge or an XL cartridge.
Check what is inside a combo pack or multipack
Read the listed contents before comparing prices. A black-and-tri-color pack is not the same as a pack containing multiple black cartridges. Check the quantity, color, and standard or XL designation of every included cartridge. A family name alone does not establish the contents of a pack.
Remanufactured versus OEM Surplus
These are different product conditions. The linked remanufactured N9K01AN listing describes a previously used cartridge reconditioned for reuse, not a new original HP cartridge. OEM Surplus listings are labeled separately. Read each listing's description and inspect its photographs for the stated condition and packaging rather than assuming all products in this family arrive in the same packaging.
How to check printer compatibility
Find your exact printer model, including its model suffix, in the product's Compatible Printers details. Cross-check your printer's supported-cartridge information and the full cartridge reference before ordering. Similar printer names are not enough to establish compatibility, and a cartridge number used in one region should not be assumed to apply everywhere.
Have a DeskJet 3755? See our HP DeskJet 3755 ink cartridges page for cartridge references, regional guidance, and a checked tri-color option.
Can I use HP 65XL instead of HP 65?
Choose an XL option only after confirming that your exact printer and regional cartridge requirements support it. Do not rely on the HP 65 family name alone. Match the XL reference, color, and the compatibility information for the specific product.
Before you order
- Confirm your exact printer model and regional cartridge requirements.
- Match HP 65 or HP 65XL and the full supply reference.
- Select black or tri-color and check every cartridge in a pack.
- Review the stated condition, packaging, and product-specific yield details.
- Keep specialty MICR black listings separate from regular black ink and select the type your printing application requires.
