I print everyday for buisness and personal and make copies from invoices and checks to school projects. The ink always dries fast and the projects always look professional. I don't know about the life of the cartridge because I use a lot of ink. I usually have to replace the black at least once a month and the color every other month. I wish the cartridges held more ink.

I use color to print photos and only an occasional color text documents. I'm even careful about selecting black&white printing for webpages. Even with all my vigilance, the 920XL series is providing an acceptable number of printed pages. The 920s are rated at 700 "pages" and I'm not getting even 50 photos out of a set of color cartridges. In one month, I have printed no more than 10 8x10s and 30 5x7s, yet I'm getting a low cartridge warning for both the cyan and yellow cartridges. The magenta is only slightly better. It's hard to believe that HP would purposely mislead it's customers, yet the difference between 700 and 100 sheets is enormous, even when considering the saturation of photos. I'm also using Premium HP paper that is reportedly designed for their ink. This ink cartridge thing is certainly an HP bamboozle.
Comments about HP 920XL Yellow Ink Cartridge (CD974AN), High Yield:
I wish the XL colors came in a package deal like the normal size. It just seems to make sense to sell the larger format cartridge in a similar manner....and I would love to save a few dollars considering I am buying them at least once a month.

Q:
I have a HP Officejet 6500 printer that uses the HP 920 ink cartridge, i use the XL black cartridge and would like to use the color XL cartridges also but there is a difference in size for the color slops then for the black, The black has a larger slop size and the tank size is larger but what about the XL color tanks, i have never seen them and I do not want to order them then find out that they will not fit.
The specifications for the HP Officejet 6500 printer call for HP 920 or 920XL color ink cartridges.This yellow ink cartridge will work in your printer.
