I always go with HP ink and the deal with Staples coupons makes it also good buy. Some say "ink is ink" but I prefer the ink from the printer manufacturer and have never had problemsR with it.
With our new HP printer it is advantageous to use individual color cartridges rather than the mixed cartridge from our old printer. Print quality was good enough to give us a clear antique-looking block print image of B&W on a antique cream background.
