Frequently Asked Questions

• How many pages does the HP CH562WN print?

  HP rates the CH562WN at about 165 pages under ISO/IEC 24711 test conditions, printing standard pages at around 5% coverage. Your own count will move with coverage, paper and settings — dense colour pages use far more ink than plain text.

• Which printers take the CH562WN?

  It fits DeskJet 1000, DeskJet 1010, DeskJet 1012, DeskJet 1050 and 45 more. The complete verified list is in the Compatible Printers section on this page — check your model there before ordering.

• Black or tri-color — do I need both?

  The printer needs both slots filled to print. The black cartridge prints text; the tri-color holds cyan, magenta and yellow in one body — when one colour runs out, the tri-color cartridge is replaced as a unit.

• Where is the printhead on this cartridge?

  Built into the cartridge itself. Every swap fits a fresh printhead, which is why a new cartridge often clears streaks and missing colours that cleaning cycles could not fix on these models.

• Standard or XL — which should I buy?

  This is the standard-yield cartridge, rated at about 165 pages. If you print every week, the XL version of the same colour works out cheaper per page; for a lightly used printer, this size avoids ink sitting unused.

• Is the CH562WN pigment or dye ink?

  It is dye-based ink, matching the original CH562WN: colours are vivid and blend smoothly, which is what these printers are tuned for.

• Does this cartridge have a chip?

  Yes — a new compatible chip that reports ink levels to the printer, so the low-ink warnings keep working. It is not a refilled original shell with a reset chip.

• My printer shows a warning after installing — what do I do?

  Acknowledge the on-screen message, reseat the cartridge until it clicks, and restart the printer. If the warning persists, wipe the gold chip contacts with a dry lint-free cloth and reinstall.

• What are the C0PA codes I see on new HP 61 listings?

  HP refreshed the 61 line in 2026 with new retail codes (C0PA4AN/C0PA5AN) and revised, lower page yields. These cartridges replace the classic CH560/CH561/CH563/CH564 codes and the refreshed codes alike — the fit is one and the same.

• Can I mix this cartridge with original HP cartridges?

  Yes. Each slot is read independently, so a compatible black alongside original colours (or the other way round) prints normally.

• Is this an original HP cartridge?

  No. It is a Clever Supplies compatible cartridge built to the CH562WN specification and covered by our lifetime warranty. It is not manufactured by HP; the HP name appears only to identify the printers it fits.

• What if the cartridge leaks, is not recognised or prints badly?

  Stop and contact us — do not keep printing on a faulty cartridge. The lifetime warranty covers recognition failures, leaks and print-quality defects: we replace the cartridge or refund you.
