3 Tips for purchasing the new HP 902xl Ink Cartridges



On December 1, 2020, HP updated the firmware of 902 series printers as scheduled. The printer models affected are. Unused cartridges purchased before December 2020 will no longer be usable.

If the printer displays a printer / cartridge error message, such as "ink cartridge problem", "ink cartridge incompatible", "remove and re install ink cartridge", "ink cartridge is not properly installed", etc.. your printer firmware has been updated and you must purchase the latest version of ink cartridge to continue to use.

However, due to technical limitations, in addition to HP OEM ink cartridges, there are still many compatible retailer selling HP 902xl series products in the market. How should we identify whether these ink cartridges are the latest version of the updated ink cartridges?


1. Is the latest version of the Ink cartridge indicated on the product page

At present, many product pages do not specifically indicate that their ink cartridges applicable to the printers after the firmware update in December 2020. Such ink cartridges may be pre-upgrade, and they may not be used after purchase. Therefore, you must pay special attention to whether there are similar instructions when purchase.


2. Is there after-sales guarantee

For ink cartridge products with firmware upgrade, it is recommended to choose OEM products first, which quality and after-sales service are more guaranteed. If you think the OEM ink cartridge is too expensive, you can also choose some compatible consumables brands with good reputation, such as v4ink. Once you buy a product that can't be used, they will replace it in time, so that you don't have to worry about it.


3. Pay attention to the suitable printer model

If you find the latest version of the ink cartridge product, be sure to pay attention to whether the model you use is included in the appropriate printer model listed on the page. Due to technical problems, some businesses may not be able to produce the chip to fit your printer model, so as to avoid buying unsuitable products, you need to be more circumspect.

Combined with the above three tips, you can buy it with confidence. Printer firmware upgrades are not terrible, because businesses always have solutions. Although we can't completely avoid the loss and trouble caused by firmware upgrade, at least we can avoid trap when buying new products.
