It is so convenient to be able to obtain the required supplies needed in our rural community. We are thankful to have a Staples located in our county seat. If you do not have a store near you order on line. Shipping is fast so why drive? Thanks Staples.
The ink cartridge fits easily into the printer. It is neatly labeled so the black and colors are not mixed up. It seems to be printing fine in color and on the gray scale. Not sure how long it will last since it was just replaced.
Relatively new printer and ink cartridges for me. They seem to last quite awhile and the finished printing is quite good. I do use heavy bond paper which I believe helps with the absorption of ink. Cartridges are on the higher priced side but all ink replacements seem to be that way. I've been happy with HP printers the first lasting over 10-years then it just stopped. I'd recommend HP printers/ink cartridges. I've never used substitute cartridges which I assume made for a longer life of my printer(s).
I have used many different ink cartridges throught the years but I have never found one like the HP 950 951. I have a HP Officejet Pro 8600 dueto the advice I received from a Staples worker helping me decide what would be best for my applications. The projects are clear and I get many more sheets printed than before from other HP cartridges. If you are thinking of purchasing a new printer check out the ones that use the HP 950 951 cartridges I think you will be very satisfied. I would recommend them.
The ink tanks should have the letter of the corresponding ink color on the outside of each tank so that one know what color it is that is empty. At this time the HP display states the letter that is low and then when you look at the ink tanks it shows a the ink tank colors but not the letter. This is an annoying issue with me as then I have to go thru taking each tank out to see the corresponding letter for the color. It would be great if there was more detail taken to correcting the ink tanks....also would like to have ink tanks that last longer especially in the colors as only black in in XL.
