Printers are getting cheaper and there is less and less in the cartridges!
How to detect inks with XS mini capacity:
Hewlett-Packard has been offering ink cartridges with different filling quantities for large or small consumption for quite some time. But there are also some with almost no filling quantity: Because smaller than small is possible! Unfortunately these cartridges cannot be refilled with a larger filling quantity.
If any of the following criteria apply to your ink cartridge, it is a low capacity cartridge that cannot be completely filled. Please bear in mind that we cannot buy such cartridge types or only at a lower price than the cartridges with regular filling capacity.
The part number of the cartridge
The last letter of the complete article number contains information about the filling quantity of the ink cartridge. Cartridges whose part number ends with a G are always cartridges with a lower capacity.
The information on the label
Cartridges with the indication Small or Introductory on the label are also always cartridges with a lower capacity.
The ink cartridge housing
Cartridges with a cavity behind the contact board are also always cartridges with a lower capacity.
SSSSSS on the white label
If there is a SSSSSS label on the back of the ink cartridge, it is also always a lower capacity cartridge.
