How much longer does the 901 XL last than the 901 black? The 901 costs $13.95 and the 901 XL costs $33.99. Is it really worth more than 2X's?

I felt that they are about the same printing pages to me. It is not worth spending more buying the HP 901XL at all.

I haven't used the entire cartridge yet. I initially got some 'sales help' but I just looked it up online. The 901 says 200 page yield but the 901 XL says 700 page yield. So it's basically letting you know that it is the better deal.

HP specs indicate that the 901XL prints up to 700 pages while the 901 only prints up to 200 pages so yes the XL is worth the extra cost if you have a lot of black printing.

Yes, it definitely lasts at least 2 x as long. For me closer to 3 x. With such a lower price on the 901 I tried using it of awhile, but was buy all the time, so I opt for the XL.

The only difference is the xl has twice as much ink. Most of the time the cartridges people buy are only half full.

10XL last longer and prints more then 10B. That is why it is more expensive.

Hi Joe. I bought the Regular 932 not too long ago, did not do a ton of printing, and it ran out already. This time I purchased the XL because allegedly it is a better buy. I installed this cartridge, literally, about 10 minutes ago, so I cannot say how satisfied I am with its value. However, I am NOT likely to purchase the Regular 932 again. I was disappointed with its short-lived performance.

I bought 2 the summer of 2013 and paid $320 for both. Sometimes multiple sellers offer the same product for varying prices. Search amazons site and compare prices. It's amazing sometimes the difference in pricing for the same item.

Kodak 30. Black is approx. $13 and color, $20. They do sell a 30XL in each, but I have not found that they are worth the extra money. They don't seem to last any longer. This printer produces a good quality print, but frequently loses connectivity and goes through ink like it's water. The printer takes one black and one color cartridge. I'm not sure why the other person who answered said it takes 5.

I think Amazon is playing with the prices. Now the black is $4 less than the silver $257 vs $261.

No sorry the new xl and the old xl are just a tiny bit different in size. It's worth it if u have the old one and don't want to upgrade to the new xl

Yes, it's the same. The color Cartridges are 951. the 950XL is supposed to last longer.

As far as I know, the XL refers to a larger amount of ink in it so it lasts longer.

This deal is for black XL, but the colors are standard (lower capacity). Finding all 4 cartridges as XL is rare - maybe I saw them at Costco that way. Or maybe the colors were XL and the black XL were a separate 2-pack. However, I have been using remanufactured cartridges from abcink with all 4 as XL for the price of one black XL at Amazon.

It is MUCH, MUCH faster than the XL-5, and worth ever cent more. The fasteners and even suspension components are of higher quality. I would not buy and XL-5, personally.

920 cartridge is available in XL for all 3 colors and black. Have always received the correct cartridge in the XL box. Many merchants sell the carts--try a different one. If the box says 920XL it should be that cart.

They are essentially priced the same and practically do not differ that much. I had both, newer one works better for me in general (and finish-wise, black one goes better with my camera).I guess the old one becomes a collectible now :-)

Standard HP950 black does 1000 pages and standard HP951 color(s) do 700 pages. The XL versions HP950XL does 2300 pages and HP951XL does 1500 pages. So, the XL's cost about 50% more but provide at least twice the printing, and hence are a better buy. The Standard or XL combined with this machine's newer technology are MUCH more economical than most of the older printer models, effectively reducing your expendable costs - the ink - by at least 50%. This, alone justifies junking your current Officejet even if it is working fine. Plus the 8620 has ePrint, wireless, and better resolutions and print speeds. What's not to like?

That's the one! I usually buy the X versions, they last longer. Not sure the color is available in a higher capacity but the black 901 is. Definitely worth it!
