I use the product for all printing jobs, invitations, parties, announcements, flyers, letters. The print is always clean and clear, I don't have to buy as often because the ink cartridge lasts a long time. The only thing i don't like is opening the packaging, it's really difficult. If the mfg.would change the packaging to something less , perhaps they would be able to lower the price which is also very expensive.

I use the extended hp black ink cartridge in an hp fax and printer. The printer is used sparingly to print documents requiring colored text or highlighting. The extended ink cartridge, as well as the hp color ink cartridges, run short of ink quickly. I see no benefit in purchasing hp ink cartridges to generic ink refills. Both seem to last the same amount of time without a noticeable difference in appearance. The generic ink cartridges, however, are much less costly than the hp cartridges with or without Staples credit when returning the used hp cartridges. I tried the hp cartridges several times to see if a fluke, but they consistently put out less ink than generics. So, back to generic ink cartridges. Sorry Staples, we tried.

    Comments about HP 88XL Black Ink Cartridge (C9396AN), High Yield:

    I use this for mostly personal use, like printing out documents, directions, coupons, etc., and my wife uses it to print out her assignments for nursing school. The 88XL black ink cartridge lasts much longer than the regular 88 ink cartridge. I definitely recommend getting this one instead, even though it does cost a bit more in the short term. In the long run, however, I believe that the more economical choice is the longer lasting 88XL over the traditional 88 ink. They are both very easy to replace, which is an added convenience.

      I scan and save documents pertaining to my family history research project. When I need to print out a document, it is so clear, I can hardly tell it from the original. Old treasure photos print out with excellent color and clarity with the HP XL ink used in conjunction with a good quality photo paper. I have never had a photocopy of a picture to have an appearance of a faded or distorted reproduction. While HPXL seems to cost a little more, it is my opinion that the end result is well worth it.

            • A:

              No, the 88xl is not compatible with your HP Officejet Pro 8500A Plus, you will need the OFFICEJET 940XL .

            I have the K8600. Will the ink cartridges dry up if I print only occaisionally? Should I remove them between printing jobs? If so, what it the best way to store them?

            • CUSTOMER CARE

              A:

              The ink will dry up eventually. Your ink cartridge should have an expiration date on it. I would suggest against taking the cartridge out, the seal at the bottom where the ink comes out could leak.

              All the XL Cartridges work great. I have a 7780 printer and I thought the same thing. Now all I buy are the XL cartridges. Just put them in the same as the smaller ones. They will should fit fine. I had to try it to believe it.

          • Q:

            New ink was installed last week and it was printing fine but all in a sudden it has an alert saying that my ink is missing or damaged, which the ink is still full & in place, I replace it with a new ink, it started to work again, but put the last one back into it, it said it is an empty ink. This happened on different color inks several times. Is there any solution? this wasted a lot of ink & Money which I did recycle it when it was still full.

              A:

              1.It's possible that the date on the cartridge had expired and the seller didn't take it off the floor.
              2.It's also possible that your printer cannot run without one of the cartridges which might be empty.
              3.The cartridge may not have been inserted properly.
