Frequently Asked Questions

• How many pages does the HP CH563WN print?

  HP rates the CH563WN at about 430 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 CH563WN?

  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 high-yield version, rated at about 430 pages. It costs more up front than the standard cartridge and far less per printed page, so it is the right pick for regular printing; the standard size suits a printer that only runs occasionally.

• Is the CH563WN pigment or dye ink?

  It is pigment ink — the same ink technology HP uses in the original CH563WN — so text stays sharp and resists water and highlighter smear.

• Is there a chip on this cartridge?

  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.

• The printer is showing a warning after I installed it — what now?

  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 run this alongside 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 a genuine HP cartridge?

  No. It is a Clever Supplies compatible cartridge built to the CH563WN 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 happens if it leaks or the printer will not recognise it?

  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.
