I am quite pleased with my HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer. When I bought it the salesman informed me that the ink cartridges were a little bit more expensive than others however they provided excellent printing characteristics and had a long service life. I found this to be true and I would recommend this printer and ink cartridges to anybody that is not a "techy" but needs a printer for printing greeting cards letters receipts etc. Common sense and a little bit of intelligence is all you need.
We liked our old HP printer that is still with our newer computer we decided to replace our short lived Lexmark printer that is in another room with our older computer with another HP printer. Again a great copy every time! The ink is a good color and prints both color and black with a consistent printing. We will continue to purchase the HP ink cartridges for both printers!
We purchased the HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus Printer for our company this year and have been introduced to the 950 Series of Ink. We have found the ink to be bright clear and the product to be functioning well!
HP High Yield Black and the three color cartridges are a necessity for our small business. I print many pages each day to produce the documents I need to pay our vendors and invoice customers. The high yield is a little more expensive but produces more documents in the long run. I had a different printer and was going through a cartridge a week. At least now I can make it a month or two before I have to change at least the black cartridge and then as the color cartridges empty I change them as well.
