Cartridge is good quality, being that it's for an older printer. Once I tried a generic brand that Staples sold that was supposidly just as good, but it didn't produce as good a color. However, I don't think inkjet cartridges should cost so much in general! The cartridge should last longer, or the price should go down, particularly for the older style cartridges.

The newer printers and inkjets produce more life-like, long-lasting color though, since they use separate cartridges for each primary color. As long as I keep this printer, I'll continue buying this particular cartridge.

Normally the HP color ink cartridges that I buy are just fine, but the last one printed colors that were really "off." I have a Word document that I print when checking color print cartridges. It contains four lines - red, blue, yellow and black. When I printed this file, I got really funky pastel shades. Luckily all I had to do was take the cartridge back to Staples and it was exchanged without a problem. As somebody once said, "That was easy."

    You can almost buy a new printer for the cost of one black and one color ink cartridges. Buy stock in HP!

    I don't trust the cartridge refills - bad experiences.

    Comments about HP 78 (C6578DN) Tricolor Ink Cartridge:

    Hewlett Packard makes great products and has a very good reputation. The printer I purchased this cartridge for is at least 10 or more years old, but works like a top. I actually have two printers attached to my PC because I just cannot part with the old Deskjet 932C. The printer prints beautifully, and I'm relatively sure that the ink cartridge has a lot to do with the fact that the printer prints so well. The colors are very vivid and beautiful. The pictures I print look as if they were taken with a camera.
