• No, you don't need to buy both. But you can use a combination of XL and regular cartridges at the same time for different colors. I usually buy the 3 ink combination pack of 564 Cyan, Magenta and Yellow color cartridges (regular size, just says 564) and then, because my black ink cartridge gets more use, I buy the 564XL Black cartridge. The colors get used less unless you are printing photos or a lot of full color pages.

• No! The 564XL's are extra capacity and hold about 3 times more ink than the original 564's.

  I would recommend:

• XL just means you will get more prints from one cartridge, I am assuming the XL one was the black one...

• You can choose between the two cartridges. I would go with xl because the ink gets used up really quickly.

• No. It is your choice if you use HP564 and/or HP564XL ink for your printer. The difference between 564 and 564XL is the amount of ink contained with the cartridge. XL contains more.

• No it's just an ink size difference. Xl is cheaper in the end.
