People sometimes wonder what it means to buy an XL ink cartridge. Do XL ink cartridges only fit larger printers? What does XL mean on ink cartridges? Are they any more complicated to install than standard ink cartridges? And how does it benefit them to buy a more expensive cartridge? Do XL cartridges produce higher-quality print jobs?
What is the difference between high yield and standard ink cartridges? And how much ink is in each printer cartridge?
The main difference between the two is actually the amount of ink in each cartridge. Standard ink cartridge contains less ink and is, therefore, less expensive than high yield cartridge. XL or high yield cartridge contains more ink and therefore can be used to print more pages at a better value per page.
So, are XL ink cartridges worth buying? As mentioned above, XL cartridges are more expensive than standard cartridges. That said, they are also more cost-effective because the average cost per page is lower, making them a good choice for people who print frequently or who want to save money in the long run.
Is the installation process the same for an XL cartridge?
Installing an XL cartridge is no different than installing a standard cartridge. Despite the name, an XL cartridge is not any larger than a standard cartridge — it just contains more ink. It will still fit the standard ink cartridge slot in your printer and require no further steps or adjustments.
How to save more on printing?
Consider switching to compatible or remanufactured XL-cartridges from Smart Ink. This way, you may save up to $200 per purchase. So think smart and choose Smart Ink!
I’m not a heavy printer user, do you suggest I purchase regular canon ink cartridges as opposed to XL? Is the quality of color printing affected?
Thank you for your question, Stephanie!
The amount of ink in a cartridge does not affect print quality.
In the long term, larger cartridges are a more cost-effective solution.
