Ink Cartridge

The cartridge arrived in time advised, it is a back up so i have not needed to put it to use yet.

I would not change a thing.

Cheaper than HP. When HP not offering coupons.

Hey what is not to like. It is a cartridge and it meets my expectations.

Used in printing 4x6 photos.

The other reviews are right that report the product arrives in a cheap plastic case (or OEM packaging) instead of the box as pictured on the product page. I have added an image to the customer images to illustrate what mine looked like when I took it out of the Amazon box. No HP factory box or anything! My printer ran out of ink a few weeks ago. I ordered the Cyan and Yellows to replace empty cartridges. The magenta seemed to run out immediately thereafter, too. The catch with my printer is the darn thing wont print even a single page in black & white or grayscale if a single color cartridge is empty. The other two cartridges came quickly and in the factory boxes so I decided to take a risk on this color after seeing conflicting reviews. Like usual, Amazon customers are quite honest and dont have hidden agendas here---I received an ink cartridge in a cheap plastic container. The other two cartridges were made in Ireland while this one was made in China. I dont mind where its made as long as it works (I prefer cheaper prices if I get the same quality of product!). The factory original cartridges were from China and they seemed to last quite a while. All 3 of my new cartridges (the 2 from Ireland and this 1 from China) have passed the genuine cartridge test. I hope it is not easy to fool. For now, I need to print and dont have an option but to install the ink so I can get some work done. Fingers crossed I dont get hosed on the purchase. It is certainly a bit misleading to put the factory packaging on the product page if its not being shipped like that. I dont mind buying OEM IF I KNOW IT IS OEM. When I think Im buying new, I dont like to receive OEM. I dont do much color printing but if the ink runs out too quickly, I will be sure to repost and downgrade my review further. In the meantime, fingers crossed! UPDATE 1 MONTH LATER: I can print! The packaging looked shady but the ink cartridge worked and still works a month later.

HP product that I generally use. Works well. Delivery was prompt and on time.

No problem with quality, just think it is overpriced.

Grumble, gripe, __tch and moan - these work when refills wont, but dang are they expensive.
