What ink does the HP OfficeJet 6950 need, and 5 compatible models

Looking for ink for your HP OfficeJet 6950 or any of the OfficeJet Pro 6900 series? The cartridge you need is the HP 903XL. Our compatible version yields 825 pages (ISO/IEC 24711 standard) with the same print quality as the original, and costs a fraction of its price. See the compatible HP 903XL ink cartridge.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The HP 903XL is the cartridge fitted to the whole HP OfficeJet 6900 series. If you have any of these six models, it's your ink:

• HP OfficeJet 6950
• HP OfficeJet Pro 6960
• HP OfficeJet Pro 6961
• HP OfficeJet Pro 6970
• HP OfficeJet Pro 6975
• HP OfficeJet Pro 6976

They all share the same 903/903XL cartridge system, so you don't have to worry about the reference depending on the model. The difference between the OfficeJet 6950 and the "Pro" versions (6960, 6961, 6970, 6975 and 6976) is in the machine's equipment —speed, trays, fax or connectivity—, not in the consumable: the ink is exactly the same in all of them. If you have doubts about your model, check it in our printer finder.

The consumable you need and what it yields

These printers run on individual cartridges of the 903/903XL family: one black and three colour (cyan, magenta and yellow). Our compatible HP 903XL ink cartridge in black yields 825 pages measured to the ISO/IEC 24711 standard, the benchmark the industry uses to compare ink cartridges objectively.

The key is in the "XL": it's the high-capacity version, which is why it yields considerably more than the standard 903 cartridge and works out cheaper per page. If you print often —reports, invoices, office documents—, the XL is always the most cost-effective option, because you change cartridge far less frequently. You have all the technical details in the complete guide to the HP 903XL, and you can see the available colours in the compatible HP ink collection.

How much printing costs you

The advantage of compatible ink is simple: the same yield for much less money. Our HP 903XL gives you the same 825 pages you expect from a high-capacity cartridge, but paying only a fraction of what the original costs. For the same print volume, the saving shows on every refill, and with the 903XL you change cartridge fewer times.

If you want to see the saving with your own numbers —how many pages you print a month and what you pay now—, use our savings calculator and check it before buying. So you don't overpay versus the original, check the current price of the compatible.

Frequently asked questions

Is the compatible HP 903XL valid for the whole OfficeJet 6900 series?

Yes. The OfficeJet 6950 and the OfficeJet Pro 6960, 6961, 6970, 6975 and 6976 use the same 903/903XL cartridge system, so the compatible HP 903XL works in any of them. If you're not sure of your model, verify it in the printer finder.

How many pages does the HP 903XL cartridge print?

The black HP 903XL yields 825 pages to the ISO/IEC 24711 standard, the standard reference for measuring ink cartridges. Being the XL version (high capacity), it yields considerably more than the standard 903 cartridge and is more cost-effective per page.

Does using compatible ink void my printer's warranty?

No. Fitting a compatible cartridge does not void your printer's warranty. Article 120 of RLD 1/2007 (the General Law for the Defence of Consumers) protects your right to use other-brand consumables; the manufacturer could only reject the warranty if it proved that consumable was the cause of the fault, which doesn't happen with quality ink. You have more information on our guarantee page.

How long does shipping take?

We ship within 24-48 hours to mainland Spain and shipping is free from €50. In a couple of days you'll have your HP 903XL ink ready to print.
