We have used this product since last fall and have found it to be very reliable. The colors are clear and we haven't had a problem with it at all. They are easy to install and are very bright and crisp when printing. The only issue we have with them is the cost as they are very expensive to replace. However we have had to replace them only 2 times this year meaning that they do last a long time for office use. We do not use them for multiple copies but only 1-5 at a time. We trust this item and will continue to use it. We try to use a coupon when buying it to make it less expensive.
I have been buying HP Ink for about 20 years - both at my place of employment (I am currently retired) and for home use. In all this time for all the printers that we had at work I have never encountered any problems with the ink or cartridges.
The HP 950XL/951 combination pack of a high yield black cartridge plus 1 each "standard" size color cartridges (yellow magenta cyan) for my OfficeJet Pro 8100 printer seems like a reasonably priced good choice for the way we use the printer (mostly black&white with occasional color use) at least so far. Other reviews have said that the OJ pro 8100 is relatively stingy with ink use and I tend to agree. If I could only get over the thought that this combo pack costs almost as much as I paid for the printer I'd give it 5 stars :-)
I have a home based business and always rely on HP printers and HP ink cartridges to make it all come together. I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 which uses HP 950/951 ink cartridges. They last a long time and give plenty of warning when getting low on a certain color. I print color flyers and love the brilliant color the HP ink provides. I also print information for buyer's and seller's and the quality is very professional and I'm proud to include in my presentations. HP Ink is a true business partner and very reliable.
These ink cartridges live up to their name and are indeed High Yield. Compared to the standard cartridges these are a much better value and I will continue to purchase these since it saves money and they provide the added benefit of requiring fewer cartridge changes (which saves time and reduced printing down time). I also like these cartridges because of their high quality and versatility. They install easily and function flawlessly every time. I use them for regular printing on standard bulk paper and for photos on both glossy and matte specialty photo paper. For both plain paper printing and photo paper printing the results are excellent. There is virtually no drying time and the colors seem to last even when photos are in sunlight for long periods of time.
I purchased a new HP Officejet Pro 8600 printer in Nov 2013. While I am not thrilled with the printer (will not feed through card stock or any glossy type paper) the ink cartridges are easy to install plus the quality of ink on the paper the printer CAN accept is very good.
