GREAT INFORMATION AND STOPPED ME BUYING THE WRONG CARTRIDGES.... Buyer Beware!! These Are Only Low Yield Starter Cartridges, Buy The HP 304XL's Much Better Value!! When HP sell you a new printer (Deskjet 2632) they only give you starter cartridges with it which hold a very small amount of ink in them Hp 304 black 4ml and the Hp 304 colour 3.5ml cartridge. I was using about 3 black and 2 colour cartridge per month and it was costing me a small fortune. I later found out that Hp do higher yield versions of the 304 cartridges, which cost only a few pounds more but hold far more ink in them than the starter cartridge which I was using before. What you need is a HP 304XL on the black which hold 8.5mls of ink rather than the 4mls of ink that is in the 304 starter black cartridge and on the colour you should be using the HP 304XL colour cartridge which holds 8ml rather than the 3.5ml that's in the 304 starter cartridge. I can even go one better, I now use a company called advantage online who stock the Hp 304XL originals plus do a British premium compatible 304XL bk and 304XL colour cartridge which hold 20mls black and 18mls colour. I have used them a couple of times so far and have been quite impressed. I hope you don't fall into the Hp trap of selling a very good printer (Deskjet 2632) at a very cheap price and then trying to charge you load of money for starter cartridges... **Q: Will this fit an hp 2622?** A: Hello Yes the ink is suitable for the HP Deskjet 2622 printer. Thank you **Q: I need ink cartridges no 78 and 45 for deskjet 990cxi** A: If Amazon stock them, order them. Shops like Curry's stock lots of HP printer cartridges as do some supermarkets, my local supermarkets have given up for the most part. **Q: i have a hp desk jet 2600 series can you tell me what ink can i get thank you** A: Hi I have the same printer. I buy this ink here’s the link.. hope this helps HP 3JB05AE 304 Original Ink Cartridges, Black and Tri-Colour, Multipack https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07GTWD7Z7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabt1_zUtQFbDG4GKQE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable, High-Quality Ink for Everyday Printing Needs *by L***O on 12 April 2025* I've been using the HP 304 Tri-colour and Black Original Ink Cartridge multipack for my HP DeskJet 2630, and it's consistently delivered excellent results.

As a small business owner, it's important to me that my printer is running smoothly, and that means making sure I have a good supply of ink on hand. In general, I've been happy with the performance of these cartridges. The ink produces clear, crisp documents and images, and the colours are vibrant. However, there were a couple of issues that I encountered while using these cartridges. The first issue was with the cost. These cartridges are quite expensive, especially when you consider the fact that they only last for a limited number of pages. This can be a major drain on your budget if you do a lot of printing. The second issue was with compatibility. When I installed one of the cartridges, my printer wouldn't recognise it and I had to go through a few troubleshooting steps to get it to work. This was a bit of a hassle, and it's something to keep in mind if you're considering purchasing these cartridges. Overall, while the quality of the ink is good, the high cost and potential compatibility issues make these cartridges a bit of a mixed bag - but, they remain the only one that fit the printer!! ## Frequently Bought Together - HP 304 Tri-colour and Black Original Ink Cartridge 3JB05AE, 2 Count (Pack of 1) - Roe Tenpo A4 Printer Paper, 500 Sheets, Smooth White Paper Finish, Compatible with Inkjet & Laser Printers - Ideal for Home & Office Use, Copying, Printing Flyers, Reports, and More-Packaging may vary - HP N9K08AE 304XL High Yield Original Ink Cartridge, Black, Packaging may vary, Pack of 1 --- ## 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/80317951-original-ink-cartridge-hp-304-multicolour](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/80317951-original-ink-cartridge-hp-304-multicolour) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
