What is the differences in the number of prints from a HP 27 versus 56?
Just printing text pages and wondered what the difference was between HP 27 versus 56 cartridges?
Well I'm guessing if your printer claims to be compatible with both HP 27 and 56 cartridges, then it all comes down to preference. The HP 56 ink cartridge claims to be able to print more, therefore it would cost more. However if you aren't one to print a lot then most likely your ink will dry out and you'll be wasting your money. For example, the HP 27 ink cartridge can print about 200 pages while the HP 56 could reach about 400 pages but eventually if left on printer for months it'll dry up and lose that potential. You could buy one and calculate an estimate but basically it's just up to you and your usage.
