I was told theses carts have the
print head attached and give reasonable
cost per page yields.

Which HP units use these?

Any comments?

Thanks.

lists the following printers compatible with the 75 cartridge. I
believe all will also accept the XL version:

HP Deskjet D4260 Printer (CB641A)
HP Deskjet D4360 Printer (CB700A)
HP Officejet J5780 All-in-One Printer (Q8232A)
HP Officejet J6480 All-in-One Printer (CB029A)
HP Photosmart C4280 All-in-One Printer (CC210A)
HP Photosmart C4385 All-in-One Printer (CC281A)
HP Photosmart C4480 All-in-One Printer (Q8388A)
HP Photosmart C4580 All-in-One Printer (Q8401A)
HP Photosmart C5280 All-in-One Printer (Q8330A)
HP Photosmart C5580 All-in-One Printer (Q8341A)
HP Photosmart D5360 Printer (Q8361A)

The XL version of the cartridge give much better page yield and better
cost per page (about 3X the page yield at 2X the price of the non-XL
versions. They do include the printheads on the cartridge.

You can get page yield information for the above and other HP printers
at the following:

HP and other manufacturers are now using the ISO/IEC 24711 standard
testing method to report page yields. This makes comparing models
across manufacturers a more apples to apples comparison.

The HP 74XL Black Inkjet Print Cartridge is tested at 750 standard
pages using ISO/IEC 24711. At $30 that's 4c/page.

IIRC the Canon PGI5-BK is about 525pages or so using the same test.
at $16/tank that's about 3c/page, more like 3.2c/page when you include
a replacement head after 10 cartridge changes of each tank.

Kodak floats around 2.5c/page, but less is known about these printers.

HP does have some options in their business jet series that are more
cost effective. But even so HP tends to have stellar text. Canon is
pretty good. I don't know about Kodak.
