Never had issues w/ original HP Ink Cartridges but they are obnoxiously over-priced. It's no secret that the copier prices are almost a give-away since in the life of the unit margins & profits are forever in the cartridges many times. Next copier we plan to buy we will definitely consider refillable ink cartridges for both environmental & cost reasons.
I have been using this ink in my office jet printer for about 10 years now and never had a problem until my last purchase. The black ink was full and my printer would not accept it so I went back to Staples and they replaced my purchase.
