I am a photographic book publisher. My books are mainly photos. I use the HP XL ink's in my HP 8600 printer. I get many photos from one cartridge which I need because of the volume of printing that I do.
What's not to like about getting your printer cartridges delivered to your door? I prefer to use the name brand as opposed to refilled cartridges because I know I will good quality printing results on all my important documents. HP makes a great product!
Buying HP950XL and HP951XL combo is a one stop buy for longer use. Meaning it is good value for both casual and heavy users. Nothing I hate more than running out of ink mid project or mid printout. The combo still offers the flexibility of multi cartridge use in that there is little or no waste due to one color running out and the need to buy color ink as with single color cartridges. Value applies to business casual and college student use. My daughter is taking a college meteorology course and printing reports of those weather maps is really color intense. (And unbalanced). This also offers a lower price than individual cartridge purchases of black and each color. From experience I/we highly recommend this product and packaging
I have found this ink an excellent product. The color is always consistent and the XL cartridges seem to last a very long time. The additional cost is more than worth the long life of the ink suppy.
