If your printing needs lean toward higher volume—reports, contracts, manuals, invoices, etc.—then the HP 940XL / C4906AN is built for your workflow. This high-yield black ink cartridge delivers around 2,200-2,300 pages, based on 5% coverage standards. That means fewer interruptions for cartridge replacement, fewer supply purchases, and better uptime.

This cartridge is engineered by HP to work with the OfficeJet Pro / Enterprise 8000 and 8500 series printers, which are often found in busy workgroups, small businesses, or service bureaus. OEM manufacturing ensures that ink chemistry, chip control, and printhead compatibility are all aligned for reliable performance. The pigment-based black ink yields strong contrast, resisting fading and smearing—especially useful on standard office papers, for double-sided printing, or in environments where prints are regularly handled.

From a cost perspective, although the purchase price is higher than standard yield black cartridges, when you divide by the page yield, the cost per page becomes significantly lower. For organizations that print frequently, it becomes a cost saving over time. Add to that HP’s supply recycling programs and the avoided time and labor of cartridge changes, and the 940XL / C4906AN becomes an economical and sustainable solution for office black printing needs.
