Standard vs. XL — which should you buy?

HP 65 or 65XL cartridges come in standard and XL (high-yield) sizes. Standard cartridges cost less upfront; XL cartridges cost more upfront but typically print two to three times as many pages, so they usually work out cheaper per page if you print regularly. If you print only occasionally, a standard cartridge may suit you better, since ink can degrade before you use up an XL cartridge's larger capacity.

Standard and XL HP 65 or 65XL cartridges are physically and electronically interchangeable in HP DeskJet 2622 - you can mix a standard black with an XL color cartridge, or switch sizes the next time you reorder, with no printer settings to change. For the full cost-per-page breakdown and when each size makes the most sense, see our guide on standard vs. XL cartridges.

How to check which cartridge is currently installed in the HP DeskJet 2622

Most HP inkjets show installed-cartridge status on their own screen or through HP Smart software: check Settings → About or Supplies on the printer, or open HP Smart's printer status or maintenance tab - both typically list the installed cartridge part numbers alongside an estimated ink level.

If your HP DeskJet 2622 doesn't have a screen, remove the cartridge from its carriage - the part number (for example, HP 65 Black) is printed directly on its label. Compare that number to the compatibility table above to confirm whether you have the standard or XL version before buying a replacement. See our guide on finding your printer model number if you're not sure exactly which HP DeskJet 2622 variant you own.

HP DeskJet 2622 Ink FAQ

What ink does the HP DeskJet 2622 use?

The HP DeskJet 2622 uses HP 65 or 65XL ink cartridges: HP 65 Black (standard) or HP 65XL Black (XL) for black, and HP 65 Tri-color (standard) or HP 65XL Tri-color (XL) for color.

Can I use HP 65 Black instead of HP 65XL Black in the HP DeskJet 2622?

Yes. HP 65 Black and HP 65XL Black are physically and electronically identical except for ink capacity - the XL version simply holds more ink and lasts roughly two to three times longer per cartridge. You can install either one in the HP DeskJet 2622 without changing any printer settings.

Does the HP DeskJet 2622 need both cartridges installed to print?

Yes, in most cases. Like most HP inkjets, the HP DeskJet 2622 generally needs both the black and color cartridges installed to print at all, even for black-and-white jobs, because removing a cartridge leaves an empty carriage slot many printers are designed to refuse to run with. Check your printer's manual to confirm this for your exact model.

Is HP 65 the same as HP 61?

No. Despite the similar-sounding model numbers, the HP DeskJet 2622 uses HP 65 cartridges, while the HP OfficeJet 2620 uses HP 61 cartridges - they are not interchangeable. Always confirm your exact model number before ordering.
