The HP ink is excellent. The free shipping was more than wonderful. Only thing I dislike is that HP practically forces you to use their ink. I put in another company's ink cartridge and the entire printer shut down.
Like the quality and ease of replacing screen notifications length or volume of usage. Cost seems a little high could be because lack of volume of sales.
Over the years I've owned a lot of printers but more recently focusing in on HP. I love how easy it is to load and unload the ink cartridges in my Office Jet Pro 8600 Premium! A first class act!!! The printer works flawlessly!!!
Once I figured out how to open the printer and release the mechanism then I had to find out how to install the new ink cartridges for the first time. No help from the meager instructions received with the machine so ... on to the Internet and the fabulous Search method. Wallah I now knew how to operate the printer machine to change cartridges. No wait. Another release button had to be discovered - only my daughter knew this trick. By trial and error my new ink cartridges were installed and I was able to print copies once again.
I did not find the ink drying fast enough as it had when I did not use the High Yield. I had a project of 900 labels (300 on three different topics) They started smearing at #5 through #24 as they came out of the printer I could not grab them fast enough. I had to pull off and throw away about 178 out of 600 labels. I did salvage some very upsetting because I had just enough sheets to print my entire project of 900. I am not sure paying for High Yield is worth it. On my last topic a helper and myself had to grab each sheet fast to separate and let dry which took about 10 minutes.
this is a top o the line ink in a very reliable container. No leaks here. Further it is designed to be easily removed and re-installed. Although this purchase was for a black high yield cartridge the same applies to HP's high end Color Ink Cartridges.
