I haven't started using the cartridges yet I'm sure they will be fine - my problem has to do with the way the product looked on the website when I decided to order it - I was under the impression I was getting 4 Hi-yield black ink cartridges - no doubt my fault for looking too quickly but of course the page I was looking at is no longer available for review. I think you should make a package like the one I thought I was getting! Most businesses have a much higher volume of B&W printing and copying needs and are looking for economy. THanks for considering this.
This is my first time using the HP950XL/HP951 HIGH YIELD BLACK and STANDARD COLOR Ink Cartridges in the four pack. So far I am very pleased with the color yield as it gives me varied and true colors on my projects. I do use a lot of Black and usually do run out of it more often than the color cartridges. If I understand the instructions correctly I will not only just be able to replace only the BLACK when needed but the individual COLOR Cartridges as well when each is needed and this is a feature to be liked as cost is always a factor.
Not much one can say about ink cartridges until you have had the chance to use it in the printer. So far I am please with the quality of the printing & the colors were true. The black print was crisp and sharp.
The high yield black just keeps going and going and going. I use this for a small business. Sometimes my volume is very low and sometimes I have high volume teaching materials that I use for educational programs I use for marketing. If I have a high volume that doesn't need to be customized I email it to the local Staples store for printing. They always get it right unlike the local print shop that charged a fortune took forever and never got it right. When I customize materials I print from my hp. I've been impressed how long the cartridges last AND they work even when I haven't dome much printing for a while.
Staples has so many ways to save so I buy all my ink from them. I always get the brand name for much less then the replacement brands but using the discounts that Staples have.
