HP printer cartridges
When I run out of a printer cartridge, it's great to have Staples in the neighborhood so I can easily get a replacement cartridge.

HP ink
I do not do much printing & I have been advised that I am low on several colors!
The generic brand of ink, the ink lasted so much longer.

HP required ink for best results
Have tried non HP cartridges in past but they seem to run out sooner & encounter printer errors more frequently.

HP cartridges work better in HP printers
Have tried other non-HP equivalent cartridges but they seem to run-out of ink or dry-up sooner than HP cartridges.

Incorrect ink cartridge
Could not get the ink cartridges to stay in the printer. They kept popping out and I double-checked to make sure I had the right cartridges.

Response from Staples :
Hi Anne This review mentions the cartridges are not staying in the printer's cartridge holder. What a terrible outcome! If the printer cartridges are the correct model for the printer this issue wouldn't exist. You can compare the model numbers on the cartridge packaging to your printer. It might help to verify the cartridge is fully clicked into the holder. Sometimes cartridges pop out if they are not firmly stationed in the holder. The only other scenario I could think of is that the holder is damaged. If so that could be why the cartridges are popping out. Amanda HP Care www.hp.com/support/

Stay Stocked
Quality ink but expensive. I try to keep my stock up to date and reorder long before I run out. Online purchase is slightly lower than in store, but every nickel counts.

Response from Staples :
Hi Shivashankar I see you are dismayed with the expiration dates. We try to provide cartridges with long shelf lives but this case is an exception. It is unclear why the cartridges in the combination pack have different expiration dates. If you contact support we can look into this matter. While one year is a bit short you should still have an opportunity to use the entire cartridge by September 2022. If you print very rarely you have the opportunity to exchange the cartridge through Staples. Information on returns and exchanges is at this website www.staples.com/sbd/content/help/shipping/. I hope you enjoy the cartridges and have a great printing experience going forward. - Amanda HP Care hp.com/support/

Defective Cartridge
This cartridge was defective and caused my printer to stop working and show an error sign. Thankfully, after 2 hours on hold with HP, a very kind operator worked to replace the cartridge. Hopefully this works.

Seamless between online purc and in-store exchange
I bought what I thought was the right thing online. It wasn't. The local store was great; they took it back and gave me the right one. Not all retailers have such good coordination between the two channels.

Response from Staples :
Hello there Phil Using ink briefly and running out is less than ideal. Unfortunately you have had this ordeal. With helpful advice I hope to boost your customer circumstances. Ink habits and environment influence the life of the cartridge. - First you might want to consider our instant ink program. - I would also recommend putting the printer in park mode by turning it off. - I also urge caution on printing with different paper types. - I would check the ink levels in the printer. If the printer levels say it is empty look for a leak. Occasionally a customer will puncture the cartridge while inserting it. - Check the copper contacts on the printhead for dry cartridges. If there is residue clean it with a cotton swab. Please consider giving us a second chance as a supplier. - Amanda HP Care http://hp.com/support/
