First to name here are the OEM ink cartridges. OEM stands for Oiginal Equipment Manufacturer. These ink cartridges usually come with your printer when I bought your deskjet D2360. Each cartridge type has a number and the Black cartridge number is HP No. 21 C9351AN. With the ink in the cartridge, containing 5 ml, you can print about 150 pages. Those OEM ink cartridges tend to be expensive. It's a major profit maker for the printer manufacturers.
The OEM cartridge color ink number is HP No. 22 Tri-Color C9352AN with a capacity of 5 ml, a page yield of around 138 and a so-called shelf life of 2-3 years. The maker qualifies these pigment-based ink cartridges as yielding professional prints with laser quality text and graphics. To print photos with your HP deskjet D2360 there's the HP No. 58 Photo (C6658AN / C6658A) OEM inkjet cartridge with a page yield of about 125 and containing 22 ml of ink.
Remanufactured.
Because of the relatively high prices of the OEM cartridges, alternatives became available such as
remanufactured HP deskjet D2360 ink cartridges ( http://www.printer-ink-cartridges-guide.com/hp/hp-deskjet-f380-ink-cartridges.shtml). And of course for many other Hewlett Packard printers. Remanufactured (also called refurbished) cartridges are usually obtained for a (much) lower price than the OEM cartridges.
Remanufactured cartridges are original cartridges(OEM), Thoroughly cleaned, especially the printhead, refilled with ink and tested by a printing test. Most online ink merchants offer those cartridges with a quality guarantee.
Printing with the black ink remanufactured cartridge in your Hewlett Packard D2360 deskjet has about the same page yield and ink content. The color ink cartridge, also with a 5 ml capacity, yields about 138 pages. The remanufactured Photo ink cartridge yields around 125 pages.
Refill Kits, usually from InkTec make, is another alternative saving even more by applying ink cartage refill kits for D2360 ( http://www.printer-ink-cartridges-guide.com/ink-refill.html ) and fill your black, color and photo deskjet ink cartridges. The ink refill kits come with the right tools and instructions.
Recycling. Another way is to have the ink supplier refill them for you, which process is called Recycling. You can send your empty HP deskjet D2360 ink cartridges in and get them back professionally refilled with the appropriate ink.
