I recently purchased a new all in one HP printer. Daughter in college now more need for a copier and networked printer. Of course you can't have a printer without ink. I have used several different brands of printers and thusly inks. I feel that while most inks are basically the same for normal printing I get better color quality from the HP's. The HP inks seem to hold well and be consistent. I have had some others that bleed a little even after a bit of drying time. Unfortunately HP inks are more expensive than others too. But I feel that the cost is worth the quality.
I am so satisfied with HP products that I replaced my old printer with a new HP. I have found the cartridges to be more than satisfactory. I produce all of my greeting cards - birthday anniversary and Christmas as well as the assorted thank you get well sympathy you name it I send it. Probably more than 500 cards per year. The color quality is always outstanding. What more can I say. This is my preferred product. If you choose to use HP cartridges you will be more than happy. By the way I purchase HP cartridges for my office. I am the Office Supply person. Pat Blaszak
