V4ink 962XL 4-pack ink cartridges

V4ink 962XL four-cartridge set

This four-pack contains one black, one cyan, one yellow and one magenta cartridge built for HP OfficeJet Pro 9010 and 9020 series printers. Each unit carries a chip so the printer recognises it immediately. The set suits small offices and home users who print colour documents regularly and want a lower cost per page than original supplies.

Yield limits at five-per-cent coverage

The black cartridge is rated for up to 2000 pages while each colour cartridge is rated for up to 1600 pages, both measured at five-per-cent coverage on A4 paper. Real-world yield drops when printing photos, graphics or dense text because coverage rises well above the test standard. Heavy users will replace cartridges more often than the rated figures suggest.

Replaces standard-capacity 962 cartridges

Moving from the regular 962 to this XL version roughly doubles the page count per cartridge, cutting the frequency of swaps and the cost per printed page. The jump makes sense for anyone printing several hundred pages a month. Buyers who print only a few pages a week or who have enrolled their printer in the HP+ programme will not benefit from the higher capacity.
