The black ink I got must be defective. It prints one page, then the next page does not print black color. I cleaned the print head several times, but that did not fix the problem. This is the first time I experienced this kind of difficulty with HP ink.

Hello,
I'm sorry to hear that the black ink was not printing reliably. That is certainly not the experience that we'd like customers to have!
Whenever poor page printing is caused by a defective cartridge, you are always free to contact us for replacement and support: hp.com/contactHP
Glad that you haven't had trouble before, here's to hoping that you never experience it with our products again!
I haven't printed more than 50 pages and the cartridge is empty. Frustrated. I'll get the big one next time I can afford to buy one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi,
I'm sorry that your cartridge appears to have been used up too quickly. Unless those were mostly high-density pages, it does seem you should have been able to print more!
Here are a few facts about ink usage that might help: - A high-density print (like a photo) will use the ink more quickly than a text-only document, especially if the paper is highly absorbent and the environment is dry. - Using the draft and black only settings on your printer can help save on ink. - Shutting the printer down between uses can result in some savings. However, always use the power button on the printer itself to turn it off. That will let the printer 'park' so that the cartridges are protected from excess drying.

I intentionally purchased HP ink to put in my HP printer and could not get it to print in color with these new cartridges. The black cartridge printed fine. I took out and reinstalled, I trouble-shooted and still no color. I've had this printer for approx. eight years and never had a problem when replacing the cartridges.
