Bang for the buck

I have always been a HP user and I must say I seem to get more yield from this sort of ink cartridges than I have had with other HP cartridges I have used.
I had to make an emergency purchase of a new printer and was going to just purchase the same version that I had but after much discussion with the sales clerk he pointed out that with the volume of paper I am printing and scan/faxing that the 8600 series would be a better fit. Than he explained that the 950XL/951 would also provided more copies for me. I was concernded about the cost but in the long run the amount of copies and printouts I can make does out way the cost of the cartridges. I am happy that I decided to go with the upgrade all around.
Buying the combination box with all the colors and the extra large size black which you use more of only makes sense since it cost less than buying them separately. I do a lot of printing with my hobby and daily normal printing for both myself and my wife since her printer is old and goes on the blink quite often. She is using my old Epson printer which is quite old and I purchased this HP OfficePro 8600 which is used every day. I am now writing history stories for the local paper and just sent in a 2 1/2 page commemorating D-Day on June 6th 1945 coming up this Friday. I am a Korean vet.
Small size which lasts longer than any other cartridge I've used on any other printer. Warning that Cartridge is running low so that you can be sure you have time to make sure to have a replacement on hand.
The XL 950ink cartridge really lasted a very long time. I was kind of skeptical when the sales rep at staples told me about the length time time the cartridge should last. This was last year 2012 during their Black Friday sale. I had purchased an all in one HP computer and wireless printer. Between my children and my nephew printing from their computers wirelessly and myself using it for work and school I just replaced all of the cartridges last month. This ink definitely has my vote!
Good quality ink for the price!! In general HP products function well. I am very satisfied with the HP Printer OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus which I purchased and have used for the past two year or more. This printer has saved me money on paper and ink since it prints double sided and the ink cartridges last longer which means I can print more for less. The colors are very clear and do not bleed which you see on some of the lesser quality printers. Overall I would recommend the HP printer and the high quality ink.
