Compatible and Original HP 4620 Ink Cartridges: What to Compare

When shopping for ink for an HP OfficeJet 4620, the most important step is to confirm the cartridge number supported by your exact printer and region. Packaging, cartridge numbers, and availability can vary, so check the printer manual or the printer manufacturer’s current support information before ordering.

Compatible and original cartridges

An original cartridge is manufactured by the printer brand. A compatible cartridge is an aftermarket replacement made by a third party for use with specified printer models. Compatible cartridges are not original HP cartridges and are not manufactured, sponsored, or endorsed by HP.

What should you compare?

Compare the cartridge number, supported printer models, standard or high-yield designation, stated page yield, pack configuration, price, and the seller’s return and warranty terms. Page yield is an estimate based on defined test conditions, and actual results vary with page coverage, print settings, document type, and printer use.

For compatible products, also review whether the listing identifies any chip, firmware, or installation requirements. Printer firmware and regional cartridge differences can affect compatibility on some models.

How can you identify what you are buying?

Read the product title and description carefully. Listings should clearly state whether a cartridge is original or compatible. If you are checking the authenticity of an original HP cartridge, use HP’s current official support or authentication resources rather than relying only on packaging appearance.

Before purchasing, match the cartridge number and printer model shown on the product page to your device. If you are unsure, contact the seller with your printer model before ordering.
