HP 67 Black Ink Cartridge
The HP 67 3YM56AN is a genuine black ink cartridge designed for compatible HP inkjet printers. It suits home users, students, and small offices producing everyday documents and photos. The dye-based formulation delivers crisp, sharp text and consistent colour quality. It comes in standard retail packaging ready for immediate use.
Installation and common issues
Installation follows the standard HP cartridge slot process; the printer typically recognises the cartridge automatically. The cartridge features an ink drop size of 17.9 pl for precise placement. Printing outside the 41 to 95°F operating temperature range or the 8 to 85% RH humidity range can cause streaks or clogged nozzles. Long-term storage requires temperatures between -40 and 176°F and 8 to 90% RH humidity to maintain ink integrity.
Yield and limits
The cartridge yields approximately 120 pages based on standard testing methodology. This capacity handles light daily printing such as letters, schoolwork, or occasional photos. High-volume users will find the yield insufficient for sustained workloads and may need to replace cartridges frequently. The dye-based ink is optimised for general documents rather than archival-grade longevity.
