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.
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.
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!

Is a HP 'XL' ink cartridge worth buying?
HP printer users notice that some ink cartridges are available in &#;XL&#; version and more expensive than standard version. Do you know what &#;xl&#; means and is it worth buying? Let&#;s dig it to discover its secret.
Why a HP &#;XL&#; ink cartridge more expensive?
An &#;XL&#; ink cartridge means a high yield ink cartridge, which contains more ink and can print more pages than a standard ink cartridge. A HP high capacity ink cartridge has an &#;xl&#; after the cartridge number to indicate the amount of ink is much more. For example, HP 67xl ink is the high-yield version of HP 67 ink. So, it is common that the price of a high-yield cartridge is higher than standard ink cartridge in the market.
How many extra pages can a HP &#;XL&#; ink cartridge print?
A high-yield ink cartridge produces 2-3 times the print volume of standard ink. But the exact page depends on different HP cartridge models. For example, HP 67 black ink prints 120 pages and HP 67xl black ink prints up to 240 pages, but HP 63 black ink prints 190 pages and HP 63xl ink can print up to 480 pages.
Is a HP &#;XL&#; ink cartridge worth buying?
The answer is yes. As mentioned above, the cost of an &#;XL&#; ink cartridge is higher than standard ink cartridge, but more ink is filled in high-capacity ink cartridges, which can print more pages. Therefore, the average cost per page of a HP high-yield ink cartridge is lower. It is a great option for frequent users and save money in the long term. But for people who do not print often and use a HP inkjet printer, it is better to buy standard ink cartridges as the ink is easy to clog in the nozzle.
