My package of HP ink 61 combo arrived right on time. I find that it is long lasting and my printer allows me to keep track of ink remaining. Despite printing in both black and white and color, the inks are evenly used throughout the life of the cartridges.
I've been using HP ink from the beginning and have always had good results. I don't have to do very much printing, so longevity of the ink cartridge is important to me. I've had the cartridge stop working when the app showed plenty of ink left in the cartridge; I'm not sure why that happens but I'm willing to cut HP some slack because of the time factor. I'm not sure whether this is a problem with the cartridge or my printer, quite frankly.
I’ve always been happy with HP products. The ink cartridges seem to run out quickly. And I know there is a longer lasting cartridge, But it’s just a little too pricey for 73-year-old man whose wife and him are retirees with income.
It seems to work OK. I wanted to get the 61 cartridge, but it was out of stock; so I had to take the 61XL at twice the price. [We don't print that often.]
