With all the controversy recently over HP and unbranded cartridges no longer working, and the sometimes poor quality of third party inks, I always think it's worth getting the originals. The printer we have is unfortunately one of those with a single cartridge for the cyan, magenta and yellow colours, and a second for black. This means that if you only use lots of blue, when that colour runs out you have to replace the whole colour cartridge, even if the yellow and magenta portions are still full. This is a failing of the printer design though, rather than the cartridge, and these cartridges are made to support that design, but unfortunately it does increase the overall cost compared to separate cartridges. What I like about the printer design, is that there is no inbuilt print head, and you get a new one built into every ink cartridge, meaning no messy blockages, failure and expense over time. The printhead in these cartridges, being official HP, is perfect, giving a perfect print, whether draft on plain paper, or best quality on glossy photo paper. The XL cartridges last us months, and if you don't print off that many pages, they're great value compared to the subscription based ink direct from HP. I would certainly recommend these cartridges over third party generic ones, and if you're not printing loads of sheets every month, over the HP subscription too. This review was written by my husband, Paul Burke, who moonlights as the Burke family print engineer.

Great ink! Easy to fit and have a high yield

After trying a set of refilled cartridges, I went back to the genuine article and the difference was amazing.

I always use HP ink and it is cheaper Thani used to pay in local shop which since closed despite me being a Very regular customer

Arrived speedily, well-packaged and prints as advertised.

Genuine ink. Would recommend and buy again

Why did you choose this product over others?: Replacing same as before.

Thank heavens for other reviewers and their advice to buy the XL and not the ordinary cartridge. Amongst reviews there are always people who know a lot more than you do yourself (thank you experienced reviewers), so it's worth taking on board their wealth of knowledge. The XL is a much fuller cartridge; it's not cheap nowadays but it works out at much, much better value. At the price replacement cartridges are I think I'm going to have to cut down on my document printing. Hopefully this XL one will give me a lot more printing potential.

Sehr gute qualität. Benutze ich schon seid vielen Jahren. Fotos drucken und vieles andere.

Una tinta estupenda. El cartucho XL dura muchísimo y la impresión es clara y nítida. Si estan bien de precio son los mejores cartuchos.

Den fungerar som den ska, inga problem

The package looks really old and at the bottom it looks like it’s already been opened underneath a piece of tape.

Satisfait
