This cartridge was less expensive and easier to get. It also arrived without my having to go 40 miles to get it. There are none to be bought in my town.
This cartridge was necessary for my wife's computer, but I feel that this cartridge and ink in general has gotten way too expensive. I would like to see HP come up with refilled cartridges under their logo that are more affordable. The home computer user is in need of some consideration.
I buy this cartridge periodically for my little old HP 3740 Deskjet which I bought twelve years ago. Still works like a dream- great colors - and is extremely precise. I have even run the same artwork through it a second time to add an element, and it comes out perfectly!!!
Bought a HP-27 and HP-29 to reactivate an old printer for my Lodge. Both cartridges work as anticipated with very satisfactory quality print, especially from a printer that is one or two "generations" old! Very satisfied.
I am always on the lookout for this cartridge, as it is no longer available in stores. It makes me happy that HP still has them. I like HP 28 tricolor because it does an excellent print job. The colors are true. I don't generally make recommendations, but I would for this cartridge.
