The cartridges have always worked fine. I, however, was very disappointed to see that HP has discontinued the HP 61 twin pack. They used to be more economical.

Hi Cynthia,
I relate to your disappointment over the discontinued product. It seems the regular 61 cartridges didn't measure up.
I have a few ideas for you. Consider purchasing XL cartridges. The HP instant ink program ensures continuous delivery, which saves time and gas money to go to the store.
Maybe express your feelings to the HP support staff directly. HP support is at the following link, www.support.hp.com/us-en/contact-hp.
it was a pretty good price, hard to find in the store. It just said to align it too many times but it was already aligned. Oh well..pretty fast ship too.
We opted to buy original cartidges cause copies are done so fast. This was a great decision and the shipment was fast. Besides, there is a real customer service behind this company. I recommend HP to every single family and friend.
