I am very actively involved in my community in many organizations and constantly printing and mailing, preparing reports, etc., but my greatest joy comes in the photography of my seven wonderful grandchildren. I am "Mema" and they know whenever we are together, I will be taking pictures..posed or not-so-posed; and without a doubt quality is my #1 consideration when printing these pictures. Printing is done at home at my leisure, using only HP ink cartridges and HP paper in my HP printers, thus ensuring the best quality results. I am constantly receiving complements on the quality of the photos I print and I tell everyone "It's all about using the same brand of ink, paper, and printers...all HP." All of us can take pictures:)

Like all HP ink products, they are way over-priced and don't offer long life if you are doing much printing. No wonder the printers are so cheap. They make it up on the first couple ink refills.
I'm not slamming this exact item so much as ALL the HP refills. They should cost about $10 each, max. I'm going through about a cartridge every 50 pages. Pitiful and expensive!

Unfortunately the cost of these ink cartriges has increased substantially over the last several years - even with Staples empty cartrige return credit gimick.

I use this product to print all my school activities. I like the easy replacement. The old cartridges can be mailed back to the company postage paid. The only disadvangage is the price. Did you ever think about a good once a year sale on the product?
