HP PSC1510 Ink cartridges

I need to get some new black ink for my printer, now it came supplied with a HP336 & HP342 cartridge. These are costing me a fortune as they're only small quanities of ink, 5ml!.

I've since logged onto the HP website and they're saying that I should be using "338 (11ml) and 343" cartridges :confused: Can anyone explain if there is a difference apart from the size ? Would I be better off buying the ones that HP suggest on their website, but from a cheaper source? (My partner insists on only using "proper" branded ones :rolleyes: )

Sorry that sounds like a dumb question but I've always bought the ones that come supplied with the printer as replacements if that makes sense. Last thing I want to do is spend money on cartridges that won't work in my printer!
