Description
The HP GT53XL black ink bottle is genuine Original HP refill ink, part number 1VV21AE, for HP's refillable tank printers. This is a 135 ml bottle rather than a cartridge, and it pours directly into the printer's built-in tank. At roughly 6,000 pages it is the cheapest way HP sells black ink, which is exactly the point of a tank printer.

Genuine or compatible?
Genuine, Original HP. Not a generic refill bottle and not our Royal house brand. This matters more on tank printers than anywhere else: the tank and printhead are permanent parts of the machine, so poor quality ink does not just print badly, it can block a printhead you cannot simply swap out. The saving on a cheap bottle is small against the cost of the printer.

Getting the most from this cartridge
- GT53XL is black only. The colours for these printers are HP GT52 in cyan, magenta and yellow, sold separately.
- Refill when the printer tells you, not when the tank looks low. Running a tank printer dry can draw air into the printhead.
- Pour steadily and keep the bottle upright afterwards. The nozzle is designed to seal, so a part-used bottle stores well.
- The 6,000-page figure is measured by HP's own continuous-printing method rather than the ISO standard used for cartridges, so treat it as a guide when comparing against cartridge yields.
Frequently asked questions

- How fast is delivery? Same day within Nairobi, next working day upcountry.
