Most Helpful Positive Review

A good product but TOO EXPENSIVE!

Although my printer is old, it continues to perform well.
However, the cost of the inker becomes more and more expensive making continued use prohibitive.
I'm disappointed that it appears that the increased, unreasonable cost by HP is an intentional ploy to encourage the consumer to buy a new printer.
It would seem to me that HP would want to maintain good will with the consumer rather than risking losing the customer.

Most Helpful Negative Review

The last cartridge that I purchased might have come from a bad lot. The cartridge was almost full with ink and the pages started to not print clearly. One page did not print with anything at all on the page. I removed the cartridge and plenty of ink was available. I tried it again and the copies are not as clear as they had been with other cartridges.

Comments about HP 26 (51626A) Black Ink Cartridge:

we were having problems with our multi-function laser printer, and were going through a lot of toner. I found my old HP Officejet fax/printer/copier at home (purchased in 1993!). I hadn't seen the HP26 ink in stores for a number of years and was really surprised when I found it online at Staples. We have been using this machine for over a month at work, and it saves waiting in line for a multi-function machine. It's a slow machine, comparatively speaking, but I was glad that we could find a use for it instead of throwing it away!

Comments about HP 26 (51626A) Black Ink Cartridge:

I was pleased to find this ink cartridge still available. My printer is old, but still works well. I don't use it frequently so I was somewhat worried when the ink seemed to be getting low. I wondered if I would still be able to find an authentic replacement cartridge. So you can imagine how pleased I was to find it still available. There is nothing quite the same as using the correct replacement that comes from the same manufacturer as the printer originally came from. So again thanks for still having this ink available.

This ink is used in a seldom used printer, but when it's needed we want it 'right'.

Comments about HP 26 (51626A) Black Ink Cartridge:

I have used my HP Fax machine for years with no problems.
It is a dedicated fax machine that only sends and receives faxes. Nothing fancy.
They don't make this type any more which is too bad as current fax machines are pretty poor quality construction.
