Frequently Asked Questions

• How many pages does the HP T6M06AN print?

  HP rates the T6M06AN at about 750 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 T6M06AN?

  It fits OfficeJet 6951, OfficeJet 6954, OfficeJet 6958, OfficeJet 6962 and 6 more. The complete verified list is in the Compatible Printers section on this page — check your model there before ordering.

• What is the HP 906XL, and does my printer take it?

  The 906XL is an extra-high-yield black (about 1,500 pages) listed only for certain OfficeJet Pro 6970-series models. If your model is on its list, the 906XL black is the cheapest-per-page black in this family.

• Standard or XL — which should I buy?

  This is the high-yield version, rated at about 750 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 T6M06AN pigment or dye ink?

  It is pigment ink — the same ink technology HP uses in the original T6M06AN — so text stays sharp and resists water and highlighter smear.

• 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. This family runs HP dynamic security: the printer checks the cartridge chip, and HP firmware updates can change what is accepted. Our cartridges carry a new compatible chip built for these models; if a future HP firmware update ever blocks a cartridge, the lifetime warranty covers you — contact us and we will put it right.

• 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.

• 902 or 902XL — which fits my printer?

  Both. Every printer in this family accepts the standard 902 and the high-yield 902XL in the same slots; the XL simply carries more ink.

• Is this an original HP cartridge?

  No. It is a Clever Supplies compatible cartridge built to the T6M06AN 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.

• Need the other colours too?

  The full set and the other single colours are linked under the family list on this page, so you can match this cartridge with its matching set.
