Easy to install, reliable print quality, and consistent results for both text and colour documents. A bit pricey, but worth it for the performance and compatibility. Review: Price good - Good price recently started using HP ink cartridges for my home printer and overall I’ve had a good experience. The installation was very quick and simple, and the printer recognised the cartridge immediately without any issues. The print quality is excellent. Text comes out sharp and clear, which is perfect for documents, and colours are vibrant when printing images or graphics. I’ve also noticed that the ink dries quickly, so there’s no smudging on the page. One downside is that the cartridges can be quite expensive compared with some compatible or third-party options. If you print frequently, the cost can add up. However, the reliability and consistent quality do make the original cartridges worthwhile. Overall, I’m happy with the performance of HP ink. It’s easy to use, produces high-quality prints, and works reliably with the printer. I would recommend it for anyone who wants dependable printing and good colour results. ## Features - The information below applies to each unit in the pack - Original HP Ink Cartridge - exceptional reliability and consistent print quality - Page Yield: 120 Per Cartridge - Cartridges Per Pack: 1 - Recycle HP Original Cartridges for free with HP's Planet Partners Programme - 80 Percent of Original HP Ink Cartridges contain recycled HP Cartridges, bottles, or hangers ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DZHNYYKF | | Additional Printer Functions | Print Only | | Best Sellers Rank | 115 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 13 in Inkjet Printer Ink Cartridges | | Brand | HP | | Brand Name | HP | | Cartridge Type | Genuine | | Colour | Black | | Compatibility Options | OEM | | Compatible Devices | For use with: HP DeskJet 2710, HP DeskJet 2720 series, HP DeskJet Plus 4110, HP DeskJet Plus 4120 series, HP DeskJet Plus 4130, HP ENVY 6010, HP ENVY 6020 series, HP ENVY 6030 series, HP ENVY Pro 6420 series, HP ENVY Pro 6430 series | | Compatible Printer Models | HP OfficeJet Pro series | | Compatible devices | For use with: HP DeskJet 2710, HP DeskJet 2720 series, HP DeskJet Plus 4110, HP DeskJet Plus 4120 series, HP DeskJet Plus 4130, HP ENVY 6010, HP ENVY 6020 series, HP ENVY 6030 series, HP ENVY Pro 6420 series, HP ENVY Pro 6430 series Compatible devices For use with: HP DeskJet 2710, HP DeskJet 2720 series, HP DeskJet Plus 4110, HP DeskJet Plus 4120 series, HP DeskJet Plus 4130, HP ENVY 6010, HP ENVY 6020 series, HP ENVY 6030 series, HP ENVY Pro 6420 series, HP ENVY Pro 6430 series See more | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 60,022 Reviews | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Colour | Black | | Ink colour | Black | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 108D x 32W x 110H millimetres | | Item Type Name | Ink | | Item Weight | 60 Grams | | Manufacturer | HP | | Manufacturer Contact Information | https://www.hp.com/uk-en/home.html | | Manufacturer Part Number | 3YM61AE UUS | | Model Name | HP 305 | | Model Number | 3YM61AE UUS | | Model Series | HP 3YM61AE | | Model name | HP 305 | | Number of Items | 2 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Fade Resistant | | Page Yield | 120 | | Page yield | 120 | | Print media | Paper (plain) | | Printer Output Type | Single Color | | Printer Type | Inkjet | | Product Warranty | 1 Year | | Special feature | Fade Resistant | | Unit Count | 2.0 count | | Warranty Type | limited warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HP - **Ink colour:** Black - **Page yield:** 120 - **Compatible devices:** RM - **Compatibility options:** OEM - **Colour:** Black - **Ink Base:** Water - **Manufacturer:** HP - **Number of items:** 2 - **Unit count:** 2.0 count ## Images ![3YM61AE 305 Original Ink Cartridge, Black, Pack of 2 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61g+LJ9L6HL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ HP ink cartridge *by N***A on 1 June 2026* Genuine HP ink cartridges that work perfectly with my printer.

Yes, it's a tad overpriced which is why I only offer a 4* review but the quality is always top notch and you know what you're getting. This HP 305 ink if long lasting with excellent print quality and could not have been easier to fit. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/726959634-3ym61ae-305-original-ink-cartridge-black-pack-of-2](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/726959634-3ym61ae-305-original-ink-cartridge-black-pack-of-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
