Technical Specs of the HP 902
The HP 902 cartridge series includes four individual color cartridges: black, cyan, magenta and yellow. All four of these cartridges are sold in a standard and high yield, or XL size. HP also offers an extra high yield 906 XL black cartridge, which is a nice option for text-heavy print jobs. The standard yield cartridge size is the least expensive option of the group, but it is only recommended if you print occasionally. For consumers that prints with regularity, the high yield option is a considerably better deal in the long term, offering more than double the prints of the standard.
