HP 65 Black Ink — Cost Per Page Analysis
The HP 65 Black yields ~120 pages at standard coverage. At $17.99 that’s $0.15/page — one of the most expensive cost-per-page figures in the HP lineup.
Standard vs. XL comparison
| Cartridge | Yield | Price | Cost/page |
|---|---|---|---|
| HP 65 Standard | ~120 pages | $17.99 | $0.15 |
| HP 65XL Black | ~300 pages | $26.99 | $0.09 |
| Compatible (generic) | ~200 pages | $8.99 | $0.045 |
The XL is almost always worth it if you print more than once a week. The standard only makes sense if you rarely print and want a small cartridge for emergency use.
