HP advertises that their inks are 50% of other inks.. definitely not true! They advertise at least 2,200 pgs per cartridge; I guess that would be true if you only print 2 pixels per page. I have the 8500 Pro for 2 months and printed 4 reams of (double-sided) paper; yet have gone through 3 of these inks already! Further, I only print in Black, yet the color cartridges get used up mighty fast.

The HP office jet Pro 8000 wireless that uses this ink needs to print faster, it's very slow to get the print job done. We're a medical billing company so we do a lot of printing. Our Dell laser printers were great because of how fast they could do a print request & the amount of pages it could print, about 3000. But when it was time to replace the toner it was expensive [$]& when it was time to replace the drum it cost about [$] Recently when it was time to replace the drums on 3 of our Dells I replaced them with the HP printers that use this ink. Thinking that I would be saving money on toner/ink & not having to replace a drum. Well it hasn't turned out that way. I only get about 1000 pages or less & we don't even use the color ink but the machines still slowly use it up, which is crazy. So as of right now I feel I didn't get a great deal because I'm now using about 2 black toners per machine a month [$] & every few months the color as to be replaced too

        Comments about HP 940XL Black Ink Cartridge (C4906AN), High Yield:

        We really like this product. Having the XL allows us the longer period between the cartridge change. That fact alone saves time especially if the cartridge would need to be replaced in the middle of copying. We did try recycled cartridges, but they just created problems with our machine. We were told the recycled cartridges were compatible but that was not the case. We are sticking with this product and have recommended it to other businesses that do alot of copying. Thank you for the XL cartridge in both black and color.

            The HP Officejet 7310 looks to use the HP 94, 95, and 96 number cartridges. It is not suggested trying to use this cartridge in your 7310 machine.

            A:

            ask HP at HP.com. But I would not think you could use it in the HP Officejet 7310, which a bit older than the 8500 which is the one I use and is relatively new.

            A:

            Not this, you would need The HP-96 (High yield 860 pages), HP-940 (480 pages). You would do better to set your printer default in draft mode for everyday basic printing. Change to better or best when you have important work.

          Why doesn't Staples carry the combo pack 940XL color combo and the 940XL twin value pack in black. I do not like to buy the straight 940 combo pk in color as it does not last long enough for the price....I have to buy these at a competitive store when I get out of town as Staples is 1 hour away and I usually buy my supplies on line from you....

          1 answer

          • VERIFIED BUYER

            A:

            Typically, the cartridges that come with the printers are smaller than the XL cartridges which for black are good for 2200 pages and HP is not willing to supply the printer with more than a starter amount of ink. I would think that the cartridge should just look smaller but attach in the very same way which makes it very safe, clean and easy once you accustom yourself to the process.
            If it attaches in a different manner, then I would say that you have the wrong cartridge but if it is just size-then it is the XL and you will wind up very pleased with your product.
