I like the product a lot and have used it for years. It's easy, reliable and high quality.

The only thing I don't like is the price. How can it be necessary to charge so much for something that small to be profitable? I believe that, if the price was decreased, people would stop buying alternatives and sales would increase proportionately more than the price decrease would decrease profit.

You do have exceptionally high quality products, from printers to computers to ink cartridges.

Thanks!

Buying the black and color ink combo-pack will save some money compared to buying individual cartridges, but the page yield is well-below HP's specs. The black cartridge yield is spec'd at 495 pages (@ 5% coverage) and the color cartridge yield is spec'd at 450 pages (@ 15% coverage). My HP printer uses a combination of black and color inks for all printing, even when I select grayscale printing, so it's a bit difficult to predict how many actual pages I should get per cartridge. I think it should be somewhere between 450 and 945 pages, but I never get even 450 pages between the two. Basically, it works out to about 15 cents per page for the ink.There's no explanation for why Staples is specifying up to 600 pages yield for the color cartridge.

Comments about HP 15/78 Black and Tri-color Ink Cartridges (C8789BN), Combo 2/Pack:

Always use HP ink jet cartridges. They work everytime and work well until empty. I have tried off brands that say they are the same ink but the poor results show you that they do not use the same quality ink! I wish the cartridges would last longer. You cannot go wrong in purchasing HP products. I use the cartridges in a FAX, PRINT,
COPY, and SCAN unit. That unit is over 15 years old. Glad they still make cartridges for it! Also have a large format HP ink jet printer that has larger cartridges with much more capacity. They work great and last much longer for the same price.

Comments about HP 15/78 Black and Tri-color Ink Cartridges (C8789BN), Combo 2/Pack:

I purchase ink cartridges at Staples a few times a year for my personal printer. My printer is probably about 10 years old but it functions fine, a little slow, but it functions to my expectations. The only probem is the cost of replacement cartridges. When you buy a printer they are usually reasonable priced but the replacement ink cartridges are very expensive. The last time I replaced them I returned the old cartridges to Staples. Also I use a black and white and a color cartridge. When the print gets light I have no idea which cartridge is running low on ink so I replace them both. Very costly.

Comments about HP 15/78 Black and Tri-color Ink Cartridges (C8789BN), Combo 2/Pack:

I have used my HP inkjet printer for about 6 + years and never had a problem with each printing capability. However since I have not used it for anything but regular document and because of the kind of printer I have w/c is really old, I'm not sure how it would perform for any other function I've used it to print colored stuff once in a while on regular paper, I would grade it as fair.

    • Q:

      Can these be refilled?
      Asked on 10/5/2009 by cakelady from Lancaster,sc

      7 answers

      • A:

        Short answer: Yes.
        You can have someone refill them for you or you can refill them yourself using a refill kit. I have been able to get only a single refill per cartridge, however. The nozzles seem to clog irreparably following the second refill. You need good instructions on the procedure for refilling and you must very careful while refilling to prevent damage to the cartridge. Also, the HP printer might not recognize the cartridge as being full, so you'll need to search the 'net to find instructions on how to fool the printer into regarding the cartridge as new.

        I've tried it, a couple of years ago, but had leaks. I feel that replacment ink is not up to the par of manufacturers.

        yes, but when new you get new heads for printing as well and refilled they seem to lose the sharpness.

        A:

        Sure, but you probably won't get the life out of them, and I've found that refills have poor print quality.

        Yes they can but they do not last as long. And it's hit and miss. One time it seems like it lasts a while then the next time it seems like it quit within a week.

        A:

        Yes they can be refilled. I've never had a good experience refilling carterages but I know people who have. I've always had refilled ones last less time and take longer to dry.
