I purchased the color cartridge to print some recent pictures I took, rather than to take them to a store to print. Well the expensive cartridge only did about 30 pics and ran out of color. Ended up going to a store to have them printed. A total waste of money.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
I am sorry that your cartridge didn't print as much as you thought it should. Pictures do run a cartridge out sooner than normal printing does, especially when you are using a standard tricolor cartridge.
High-density prints (like images and graphs) will use more ink, especially if the paper is highly absorbent and the surrounding air is dry.
If you do a lot of high-density printing, you might want to consider using the XL cartridges, or perhaps Instant Ink where you pay by the page rather than for the cartridges.

I stopped using HP InstantInk which monitors your equipment and disables it the moment you terminate their "service." When I received the replacement (Non-InstantInk) HP InkJet cartridges and installed them, the printer died one week later. It will not take power. So now I buy a new HP all in one printer scanner. I think, NOT.
