The HP 962 magenta is the standard size magenta tank, and our database has it fitted to the OfficeJet Pro 9015e and OfficeJet Pro 9025e. It is a single colour bought on its own, so you replace only the tank that ran out.
This cartridge is rated at 700 pages for $30.99, which is 4.43c a page. The 962XL magenta prints 1,600 pages for $49.99, or 3.12c. That is about 29 percent off each page, so the XL is cheaper ink rather than only a convenience. The case for the standard size is the cash: $30.99 at a time instead of $49.99, on a tank you have to finish before the saving is real.
Black behaves the same way in this family. The 962XL black is about 27 percent cheaper per page than the standard 962 black, so a printer that gets through its ink is better off on XLs throughout than on a mixed set.
Both printers listed here shipped as HP+ models with Dynamic Security. If HP+ was accepted at setup the printer is tied to Original HP ink for the life of the machine and will refuse a compatible 962, and that decision is made once and cannot be reversed. Where HP+ was declined, third-party tanks can work, but keep automatic firmware updates switched off.
Magenta is the colour whose absence you notice first. Reds turn orange and photographs of people go sallow while black text still looks perfect. Before replacing the tank, run a nozzle check, because a partly blocked magenta nozzle produces the same shift on a cartridge that is nowhere near empty.
