I purchased this HP cartridge on January 9, 2018 but actually didnt open to use until July 27, 2018. The printer gave an error message that I couldnt use this cartridge. What I found later was that HP started regionalizing their cartridges, and whatever zone cartridge was in your printer when the regionalization started was where your printer defaulted...correct or not! This is very important since my printer had the wrong region defaulted at the time the last cartridge was put into service. I had to call HP to get my region on my printer corrected. As long as the product is under warranty they do it for free. This cartridge was correct after my printer was corrected. I had to find this out by the HP forum where a kind person replied to tell me the solution to my issue. I just dont want others to go through what I did, when it wasnt the cartridge I purchased here at Amazon.

Best price.

I should have asked specifically what the expiration date was going to be for the cartridge I was purchasing. It arrived today, the box, though sealed, was crushed and beat up. The expiration date is May 2014. I hope it works as long as it should, since its over two years beyond the expiration date.

love it

Excellent!

I suggest looking for another manufacturer if you are looking for a printer. Do not waste your money trying to replace any HP cartridges or your time trying to upgrade their firmware. When HP changed to these zone cartridges my 2 year old HP OfficeJet Pro 8610 stopped working. I tried to replace the cartridges from Amazon which failed to work. They I tried to purchase them directly from HP which also FAILED TO WORK. Every cartridge produced the same message: Incompatible Ink Cartridge. I used their virtual assistant in an effort to upgrade their firmware. After 3 hours of frustration and no solution, I called their Tech Support. Their recommendation was to send me another replacement cartridge to see if it would work in my printer. After I explained Ive tried these replacements, they indicated they could give me a discount on a new printer. I HAVE NO FAITH THESE CARTRIDGES WILL WORK IN A NEW PRINTER, so I am not going to waste any more of my time or money with this company. I will purchase a much cheaper printer from a different manufacturer as a replacement so I will not be out the money if it becomes a boat anchor like this HP Officejet Pro 8610.

I found it best to buy genuine HP print cartridges for my HP network printer. Beast price and functionality. I will continue to use HP productions purchased from my reliable vendor Amazon!

I had gotten so tired of buying ink every few months. With students in High School, Jr. High and Elementary needing to print often and my wife and I printing things for work and scouts and church, it was costing a fortune! These are lasting us about a year for each with the xl sizes and I couldn’t be happier with the results! I really like that I can use each color until it’s gone. My Kodak and other printers would have all of the colors in one cartridge and you couldn’t print once one color was out. That wasted all the other ink that was left! These are much better.

We never have problems with HP printers or their original ink replacements.

OEM, works as expected.
