It was easy to find the product in the store and the salesperson was very helpful in selecting the combo rather than the individual cartridges - especially since this printer is new for me - I'm not sure which color ink I will need more of. My old printer had all the colors in one cartridge so if I ran out of one particular color I would have to buy the new cartridge even though I only needed one of the colors. (They were both Hewlett Packard printers.) In the long run I will probably save money by seeing which color I might be better off with the larger amount of ink.
These cartridges work well - cons - doesn't last long enough for the price and don't appreciate trying to kick it off before all the ink is gone - work with the customer not against - making the hp machine stop the ink from going further when it can is not appreciated. HP is the #1 printer in my opinion - just work with customers more so it always maintains that #1 spot. I have changed many companies I do bookkeeping for from Epson or Canon to HP - so I am your spokesperson - don't let me down.
This package is a very good ink purchase as the Black is extended use rated and all three of the colors my printer uses are included in the package. Even though the colors are not extended use rated the ink cartridges do last quite a while. When we are printing a lot of business materials I am surprised how well the ink holds. I would say that they average 3 months with heavy use of colored training and product materials. If we continue to produce a large amount of materials I might use the colored extended use cartridges to test their length of usage for comparison.
