I work from home. Although my employer supplied the printer I have to maintain it and replace the ink cartridges when needed. Ffor the first time one cartridge ran dry. of course the computer offered replacement cartridges at a "great deal" Instead I searched several sources - competitors - and decided on Staples. The cartridges were immediately available and offered at a comparable price to all I had searched. With my 20% discount coupon as a loyal customer I purchased the 4 pak at a GREAT savings and had it the day I needed it. Instructions were easy to follow and I was back to printing within the day.
I like the fact that the item is bundled. By making it bundled it not only is cost savings but also easier to order to send to the appropriate department necessary. One box is much easier than 2 or 3 to keep tabs off. The print is clear unlike the refillable cartridges that may sometimes be cheaper but don't last as long or have the same depth of color on the color prints. I would recommend sticking with the original cartridges rather than the refillable ones. Much more cost efficient in the long run.
Years ago my photography business grew. I needed away to save money in the processing of the Photo Albums for my clients. I tossed around some ideas of what to do.I decided to switch over to the Office jet Pro 8600 Plus. I bought 2 units and I up graded to the XL INK Cartridges and for the very good money saving reason. They contain a higher percentage of ink and give me a higher amount of printed page returns.This savings has helped in expanding my photography business to another level and added to my profits. I will continue to stayed with HP's 951 and 950 XL Ink Cartridges... until WEN. Geoffrey T. Meehan
This HP color ink provides for great color copies on our Hewlett-Packard copy machine. We have been extremely pleased with the quality of our color copies as well as the trouble-free copying that we have experienced. Whether we are copying for our own personal use or I am copying for my classroom handouts the quality is superior and the colors are as bright as ever. We have tried refilled cartridges and have had little success with this method. Now we stick with HP ink and are pleased with the results. The only drawback is the cost. The color ink remains a bit pricey and it would be nice if it were more frequently offered on sale.
The XL combo pack is the only way to buy ink (especially if your kids print for school). It lasts a long time which is good for me because it seems as if only I can put a new one in when needed. Good Buy!!
I have tried other ink - HP and Staples offer a great deal - recycling the old ink cartridges gives me money back to buy more ink. This is a great value at Staples with the Rewards card.
