Compatible vs Original OEM – how to choose wisely

We know that customers shopping for ink for HP 6520 usually have two priorities: print quality and sensible running costs. That’s why we offer both options and help you match them to your needs:

• Original OEM ink cartridges (HP) – a great choice if you prefer using manufacturer-branded supplies, want maximum predictability, and print a lot of photos where consistent colour profiling matters.
• Compatible ink cartridges – ideal if you want excellent everyday results and better value. Our compatible cartridges from DrTusz.pl are designed to be as good as the originals in normal home and office use, offering strong colour, clean blacks and reliable performance at a friendlier price.

If you’re not sure which version to pick, a simple rule helps: for frequent printing and savings, go with compatible HP Photosmart 6520 ink (often XL). For brand-only workflows and photo-heavy output, consider Original OEM ink for HP Photosmart 6520.

Common issues with HP Photosmart 6520 ink – and how we help

When searching for ink cartridges for HP Photosmart 6520, customers often mention a few recurring situations. Here’s what usually helps:

• Printer message about missing/incorrect cartridge – make sure the cartridge code matches HP 364 / HP 364 XL, and reinstall the cartridge firmly until it clicks.
• Streaks or faded colours – run the printer’s cleaning utility and check if one colour has run out (CMYK is separate). Replacing only the empty cartridge is often enough.
• Printing photos looks “flat” – consider adding or replacing the photo cartridge (PBK) and using fresh colour inks, especially if the printer wasn’t used for a while.
• High running costs – switching to XL capacity and/or a compatible multipack can significantly lower cost per page.

If you tell us what you print (documents, schoolwork, photos) and how often, we’ll help you choose the best ink for printer HP Photosmart 6520—Original OEM or Compatible.
