HP 305 Tri-color Original Ink Cartridge (3YM60AE)

The HP 305 Tri-color Original Ink Cartridge (3YM60AE) is a genuine HP colour cartridge holding cyan, magenta and yellow ink in a single unit, feeding the colour side of HP's DeskJet, DeskJet Plus and ENVY all-in-one printers. It covers everyday colour work: school projects, charts, flyers, product shots and family photographs. The ink is dye-based, which is what gives photographs and graphics their saturation on both plain and photo paper, and it is laid down in two drop sizes, 6.3 pl and 2.8 pl, so gradients and skin tones stay smooth rather than turning blocky. Rated ISO colour yield is up to 100 pages, and this is the standard-capacity cartridge rather than the XL. It fits the HP DeskJet 2320, 2710, 2720, 2721, 2722, 2723 and 2821, the DeskJet Plus 4120, 4122, 4130 and 4221, and the ENVY 6020e and 6052, and it is also supplied in the HP 305 Black and Tri-color combo pack (6ZD17AE). Run it alongside the HP 305 Black cartridge and one printer covers both crisp document text and full-colour output from the same tray. Genuine ink matters more than most buyers expect, because the print head is part of the cartridge: original ink keeps the nozzles clear and colours land where the driver expects them. A sealed spare on the shelf is sensible for any home or small office that prints in bursts.
