KMP H165YX Compatible Ink Cartridge for HP 973X, Yellow, High Yield, for HP PageWide Pro 452/477/552

The KMP H165YX is a compatible yellow ink cartridge that replaces the original HP 973X in HP PageWide Pro 452/477/552 printers, rated at Yellow 7,000 pages. It suits offices and home users who print regularly on these models and want a lower cost per page without changing printer.

KMP PrintTechnik AG is a German maker of compatible printer supplies. Each KMP cartridge is matched to a specific list of printers, shown in full in the specifications below.

• 1 x yellow ink cartridge (111.5 ml)
• Retail packaging — no printhead, no cable, no refill kit; the printer must already be set up

• Rated yield: Yellow 7,000 pages, measured to ISO/IEC 24711 on A4 at standard coverage. Photos, full-page graphics, borderless prints and frequent cleaning cycles use more ink, so expect fewer pages in real use.
• Fill volume: Yellow 111.5 ml. Volume is the most direct way to compare packs from different makers, because page yield depends on what you print.
• Each cartridge carries a chip, so the printer recognises it and shows an estimated ink level. Expect a one-time message that a non-original cartridge was detected; confirm it and printing continues normally.
• Installation is the same as the original: remove the protective tape or clip, press the cartridge into the matching colour slot until it clicks, close the cover and let the printer finish its start-up routine before printing.
• Keep spare cartridges sealed in their packaging, upright and away from heat until you need them; open a cartridge only when you are ready to install it.

• Printers that are not on the compatibility list below. Cartridge shape, connector and chip differ between printer series even from the same maker.
• HP printers with firmware that blocks non-HP chips (HP Dynamic Security). If your printer rejects the cartridge after a firmware update, send us the printer model before reordering.
• Claims against the printer maker for printer faults caused by third-party consumables. This cartridge carries its own warranty (see the Warranty rows below).
