I have bought ink for my printer for years. I have always bought them individually in the past. Now as you can see we are able to purchase in a combo pack. The combo pack is not only more conventient but also much cost effective! I recommend pricing these out at any ot the Staples you shop for comparison pricing. Also once you sing up for Staples frequent updates coupons come regularly for immedicate use for further discounting. You can also save your old empty ink cartridges and exchange for $2 credit on each one. Great deals!!!
I love the Hewlett Packard printers. My old 1400 HP is still going strong. However since upgrading to a new PC with Windows 8 I lost some functionality. For example I used to be able to scan documents into a Adobe PDF file format. So what to do? I retired the HP 1400 printer and purchased a cool HP 8600 Office Jet Pro. Now I can print on both sides instead of one page at a time and flipping the paper over to print on the back side. I used to run out of black ink much faster than the color. So in addition to the High Yield Black and Standard Color 950XL and 951 I also pick up a double 950 Black pack.
I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus printer (which I happen to believe is the best home printer on the market). I only use HP original ink cartridges and I have never had an issue with the ink. It works every time. I use the XL cartridges when possible since they last longer and I don't have to change them so often.
I really like the High Yield cartridges. They last quite a while and the quality is sharp and clear. I also enjoy how easy it is to replace the depleted cartridges...takes only seconds! I have been using HP printers for quite a number of years and these new cartridges are easier than ever to change out. With the combo pack having a high yield black cartridge and standard color cartridges I find they need to be replaced at one time which I find to be very convenient in our small office.
