Although ink quality is good, cartridge stops working well short of vendor's claims
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
I'm sorry that you seem to be disappointed with the number of pages printed The estimates are based on industry standards. How the cartridge will perform in real life situations will vary quite a bit.
Provided the cartridge is not damaged or defective, the ink usage will determine how long it will last. High-density prints (such as photos) will require more ink, especially if the paper is highly absorbent and the environment is dry.
That said, I have a few tips that might help: - You can use the printer's draft mode and black-only settings, whenever possible, to save ink. - Shutting the printer down between uses can also help; however, always use the power button on the printer itself to turn it off. That lets the printer ‘park’ so that the cartridges are protected from excessive drying.
When it seems that the low page yield was caused by a defective cartridge, you are always free to contact us for support: hp.com/contactHP
it is helpful to have all three colors in the same package although they are not used at the same rate. You don't run out of them all at the same time, but it saves time
I bought this several weeks ago along with other cartridges. However, I put the Magenta Cartridge in the printer and it printer for awhile but it said it was 3/4 full but magenta wasn't printing. I replaced with another and it worked. Question? What do i do with all the empty cartridges?
