⚠️ HP+ and e-Series Printers — Check Before Ordering
Some HP DeskJet and Envy models ending in "e" are HP+ printers requiring Original HP ink. If your printer model ends in "e" (e.g., Envy 5010e, DeskJet 2720e), remanufactured cartridges will not work. Check your exact printer model before ordering.
⚠️ HP Firmware Warning
HP periodically pushes firmware updates that can block third-party and remanufactured cartridges. Disable automatic firmware updates before installing.
Steps: Printer front panel → Setup → Printer Maintenance → Update the Printer → turn off Auto Update.

FAQs
Q: Are HP 65 and HP 65XL interchangeable? Yes. Both fit the same HP DeskJet and Envy printers. The only difference is ink capacity — the 65XL holds more ink and prints approximately 3-4× more pages than the standard 65 (450 vs ~120 pages black; 360 vs ~100 pages color). The XL is the better value for anyone printing more than occasionally.
Q: Are HP 65XL and HP 67XL interchangeable? No. The HP 65XL and HP 67XL are designed for different printer generations and are not interchangeable. Always check the label inside your ink access door to confirm which cartridge your printer requires.
Q: Does this work with HP+ printers? HP+ printers (models ending in "e") require Original HP ink and will not recognize remanufactured cartridges. Non-e-series models on the compatible list above are fully supported.
Q: Will HP firmware updates block these cartridges? HP has pushed firmware updates that block third-party cartridges on some models. Always disable automatic firmware updates before installing. See our full guide.
Q: Will using remanufactured cartridges void my HP printer warranty? No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, HP cannot void your printer warranty solely because you used a remanufactured or third-party ink cartridge.
Q: How should I store the cartridges if not using immediately? Store sealed cartridges upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Linford HP 65XL cartridges have a shelf life of 18–24 months unopened.
