Well The ink has had a steady increase over the last two years. I do buy the XL version and multiple packs for saving but at 190.00 plus taxes Puts it over the top I maybe switching to a laser printer when this one breaks. The amount of money spent on Ink I could have replaced my printer twice
I saw the black ink was XL and my mistake assumed the rest was too. Only once I got home did I see the colors yield 75% less pages. A mistake I won't make again.
The Cyan cartridge in this set was defective. It was getting caught on paper and causing repeated paper jams. I had to throw the cartridge out after only two days of use. That was expensive.
Response from StaplesBy February 14, 2022
Hi Karen Wow a paper jam is no fun! I am surprised at this incident as it is pretty uncommon. I apologize for any wasted ink or paper. There are a few possibilities on what caused the jam. One reason could be the incorrect cartridge for your printer model. This scenario is unlikely because most printers will only print if the cartridges are compatible. More likely the ink cartridge wasn't firmly enclosed in the printer. When the printer started it tore the paper. I wish you hadn't thrown out the cartridge. You could have received an exchange if it was within the return window. Amanda HP Care www.hp.com/support/
I haven't opened the box yet so I don't know if it's any good or not. I just hope responding will stop Staples from sending me emails to rate this purchase.
