So this has nothing to do with Staples but what i recently found out is that if you don’t use the cartridges weekly they will dry out and needs to be replaced. This was such a huge let down because i just purchased the cart trudge fir 100 plus dollars in March of the year didn’t do hardly any printing over the summer and was very confused as to why the printer started sayin ink out. Had to repurchase in July. My past cartridges and printer (had to buy a new hp printer) seemed to have never dry out with similar routines. It’s suggested to printout a page a week (wasting paper) to preserve the ink
I have been using my HP OfficeJet Pro 6968 color inkjet printer for 8 years now. I have heard and read many reports of Inkjet printers degraded print quality over time. I also understand there is a correlation between using off-brand ink cartridges and degraded print quality. My HP has the same print quality today as when I first put it into service. I swear by Genuine HP Ink Cartridges and credit the longevity of my printer with using only genuine HP Ink.
