Switch back to hp ink seems to work better the refilling and much better printer controls as well as the consistency of the colors for picture printing. Still a good value on price compare to Laser cartridges.
I have been using HP printers and ink for about 10 years. Most of the use has been for home office use - word documents contracts and presentations. Mostly black and white. Our children are now more dependent on the printer for school projects and homework - a lot of color work. I am quite pleased with the longevity we get out of this product. while the replacement cost is not cheap - I have had a back up pack on hand for about a month and haven't had to replace yet. Better yet they seem to run low fairly evenly - not like previous products replacing one color at a time.
Getting the combo pack is quick and easy. I do like to buy them individually in the xl because they do last longer. I am a teacher and print most everything at home. It is helpful to keep them on hand so I have an extra supply at all times. I love being able to recycle my old cartridges at Staples. It helps me to build up reward points and helps the environment as well. I have not had any difficulty getting this product as it is always available when I need it. I have an hp printer copy and fax machine which requires this product.
I have used these ink cartridges for three years and they are the best I have used I get good color till the very last and the color as well as the black is very true. I do a lot of personal printing as well as printing for two bible study groups. The bible study groups consist of 30 members and some material I print for them are 10 pages per article..I also do tax preparation and the black is so good and true it is difficult to tell from an official document.
I love being able to purchase the combo packs for the ink. Some much better than have to purchase them separately. The XL last so much longer than the standard size ink. I just wished when the combo pack has the black and color. The color could be in the XL size than just the standard size.
