ENVY 4512

The HP ENVY 4512 prints with the HP 63 ink family. Original HP codes for this family: F6U62AN, F6U61AN, F6U64AN, F6U63AN, with rated yields from about 150 to about 430 pages. Every Clever Supplies cartridge below is a compatible built to the original specification — same fit, same rated yield, lifetime warranty — and this page lists exactly which ones the ENVY 4512 takes.

Cartridge	Colour	Approx. yield
F6U62AN	Black	170 pages
F6U61AN	Tri-color	150 pages
F6U64AN	Black	430 pages
F6U63AN	Tri-color	300 pages

Printers like the ENVY 4512 carry their printheads inside the cartridges, so every cartridge change is also a printhead renewal. That design makes these machines forgiving of age and irregular use — a dried-out head is replaced, not repaired — and it makes the quality of the cartridge you buy the single biggest factor in how the printer prints.

The cartridge carries a new compatible chip that reports ink levels to the printer. If a firmware update ever causes a recognition warning, reseating the cartridge and restarting the printer clears most false alarms; anything that still refuses to print is covered by the lifetime warranty.
