Not enought lasting bang for the price

It would be nice to add more ink to each cartridge so we, the consumer, would get our moneys worth. I am considering a different printer with a longer lasting less expensive print cartidge...Read complete review

don't spend the extra money

By thekid

from South Dakota

Comments about HP 57+ Tricolor Ink Cartridge (CB278AN):

I decided to try the HP57+ ink cartridge since I was making Christmas ornaments and wanted them to last. I would not buy this cartidge again as I do not think it was any better color than the HP 57 regular cartridge. In fact, the colors did not seem as rich as the regular one. HP inks for older printers are already high priced; I don't think this ink warrants spending the extra money on. I will say that the shipping was as advertised - I received the package via Fed-Ex the next business day, which was awesome, and free shipping does off-set the price of the cartridge.

I love the HP 57+ color cartridge. I am glad I can still get it on online. I was disappointed when my local Staples stopped carrying it. I hope HP continues to make the 57+.

Comments about HP 57+ Tricolor Ink Cartridge (CB278AN):

It is painful to purchase this overpriced ink toner on a repetitive basis. HP convinced Staples to discontinue generic brands & Staples also reduced the rebate for empty cartridges. Time to look for new suppliers.

  HP 57 standard cartridges are perfect for your everyday printing needs. Equipped with HP's Vivera inks, the 57 Plus Tri-Color cartridge delivers vibrant prints that will last as long as your memories. Make your photos last 50 years longer compared with those printed using the HP 57 cartridges.
  Answered on 3/19/2012 by Bonnie B from Staples
- A:
  According to HP, the 57 is a "standard" tri-color cartridge, which is for precise, everyday printing. They claim the 57+ is a "specialty" tri-color cartridge, with enhanced performance for specific projects that produces professional quality photos with sharp, realistic colors.
