HP 901 Black Original OfficeJet Ink Cartridge (CC653AE / CC654AE)

Deliver laser-quality document text, high-contrast office layouts, and crisp everyday graphics with the HP 901 Black Original OfficeJet Ink Cartridge. Uniquely engineered to support small office and home desktop setups using the HP OfficeJet All-in-One print series, this standalone monochrome channel utilizes an advanced pigment-based compound. It deposits deep, smear-resistant black text that dries quickly, creating sharp professional invoices, contracts, and reports that remain highly legible over long storage lifetimes.

HP 901 Black Original OfficeJet Ink Cartridge Key Features

• Laser-Quality Text Contrast: Formulated with rich, premium black pigment molecules that provide clean, dark edge definitions for professional office correspondence and multi-page documents.

• Fade and Smudge Resistance: The pigment chemistry creates a stable bond with standard copier and bond paper, preventing bleeding when highlighting or handling right out of the output tray.

• Available High-Yield XL Fleet Efficiency: Offered in both standard (CC653AE) and extra-large 901XL (CC654AE) sizes, giving small business teams up to 4.5 times more pages per tank for higher volume tasks.

• 13.8-Picoliter Drop Precision: Fully calibrated to interact with HP Thermal Inkjet head nozzles, firing uniform 13.8 pL droplets to preserve fine line grids and tiny font characters.

• Smart Print-Completion Protection: Built-in telemetry tracking lets your computer monitor ink levels in real time, alerting you before you run dry so you don’t spoil an important page run.
