What 305 and 305XL mean
The XL version usually indicates a higher-yield cartridge, but output still depends on page coverage and print settings.
Check the printer model first
Use the full HP printer model and compare it with the installed cartridge code before choosing a replacement.
Black, tri-colour and multipack options
Check whether you need black only, tri-colour only or both, and whether a multipack makes more sense for your usage.
