My printer said that these HP cartridges had been used. After a bit it turned to and printed but was not happy with reused cartridges. Did I pay full price? If so I am not happy either.
Ink is a must but HP never give coupons or discounts to help on the price. For once I would love to get some type of incentive. It's always "HP ink excluded". That's not giving back. This ink is very expensive. The only way to use the printer you have to purchase the ink. I will keep this in mind when I purchase another printer.
These cartridges are too expensive and the last HP printer I bought seems to eat them up in no time. I don't plan to purchase another HP printer for this reason. I will buy another brand with refillable tanks.
