GPC Image 924e / 924XL Compatible Ink Cartridges (with chip) – HP 924e 4 Pack
Product description
If you’re running an HP OfficeJet Pro that takes the 924/924XL range, these GPC Image 924e and 924XL compatible ink cartridges are aimed at one thing: keeping costs down without switching to a different printer setup. They come as a 4 pack with chips, so on paper they’re designed to behave like the cartridges your printer expects.
That said, this is not original HP ink, and compatibility has a couple of real caveats worth checking before you click buy.
The essentials
These are compatible ink cartridges for the HP 924e / 924XL family, sold as a 4 pack including: - 1 black 924 ink XL cartridge - 1 cyan 924 ink XL cartridge - 1 magenta 924 ink XL cartridge - 1 yellow 924 ink XL cartridge
The packaging may vary. Importantly, the cartridges include a chip, which is often the difference between “it installs” and “the printer actually recognises it properly”.
In everyday use, you’ll typically notice this kind of pack when you’re refilling both text (black) and colour (charts, documents, everyday colour prints). If your printing is mixed, a colour+black pack like this can be convenient because you’re not forced to order individual colours as often.
Compatibility to double-check (it matters)
The biggest limitation is about the printer’s “e” series and HP+ / Instant Ink.
This set is described as not compatible with registered “e” series printers that have paid for the HP+ (HP Instant Ink) service. So if your OfficeJet Pro 8120e / 8122e / 8124e / 8125e / 8130e / 8132e / 8134e / 8135e / 8128e / 8138e / 8139e / 8120 / 8123 / 8130 / 8133 sits under that kind of subscription, you may need to avoid these.
Where it does fit (as listed), it’s for printers that use compatible HP 924 cartridges, including models in the OfficeJet Pro 8120e, 8122e, 8124e, 8125e, 8130e, 8132e, 8134e, 8135e, 8128e, 8138e, 8139e, plus listed 8120, 8123, 8130 and 8133 models.
It’s not perfect, but if you’ve got a non-HP+ setup, this kind of compatible cartridge often makes sense as a straightforward “replace like with like” purchase.
What you get and what to expect from yield
The listing gives yield estimates based on 5% A4 paper coverage: - 1000 pages per 924 ink Black XL - 800 pages per 924 ink Cyan/Magenta/Yellow XL
Bear in mind that real-world results can drift depending on how much coverage your documents have (for example, office emails and text-only pages vs. marketing sheets with larger colour blocks). Still, these figures give a rough idea of what you’re paying for across black and colour.
Where it shines in day-to-day printing
If your goal is consistent output for regular office tasks—printing reports, forms, school work, or small batches of colour documents—this 4 pack is designed to cover all four colours at once. Having black and the full colour set ready can help avoid those half-finished print jobs where one colour runs out and you’re stuck waiting on a separate order.
On top of that, using XL capacity is usually the practical play when you want fewer cartridge replacements, rather than buying small cartridges more often.
Potential downsides you should weigh up
The first trade-off is obvious: it’s not original ink. So while it’s positioned to deliver “natural prints” and focuses on quality output, you’re still making a value choice rather than paying for the manufacturer’s own branded supplies.
The second downside is the HP+ / HP Instant Ink “registered e series” compatibility note. If that applies to your printer, these may not be the right route at all, even if the model name looks like it should match.
So it might not be a great match if you rely on HP+ features, or if you’re not sure whether your printer is registered for that service.

Is it worth it?
Worth buying if you have an eligible HP OfficeJet Pro model that uses 924/924XL cartridges, you’re not tied to an HP+ (Instant Ink) registered setup, and you want a full 4-colour pack with chip support at a replacement-focused price.
You may want to skip it if your printer is a registered “e” series model with paid HP+ / HP Instant Ink, or if you’re unsure about that service status. In those cases, compatibility issues can become more of a headache than the savings are worth.
For a lot of everyday buyers, this kind of compatible XL set is a sensible middle ground: you’re not stepping up to premium branded cartridges, but you also aren’t going for the most minimal approach either.
