Any frustrations I've experienced over my HP 5610 All In One printer were minimalized when, after opening this black ink cartridge, I found a postage paid mailer for sending the empty cartridge off to be recycled. I love HP for that.
I've decided that I don't like HP products anymore. They always let me down in some way:* Bad printer software.* Ink out all the time.* Broken HP camera.* I had an HP 17' laptop with a 10-key; Sold it, was too time consuming to maintain it.* HP All-in-One printers (PSC 2110v) no longer support the newest Mac OS's for scanning. It's print only.
The ink prints out faded and unreadable. The ink cartridge is completely unusable, and I have been trying for over a month to get a refund, or even a replacement. It has been a huge disappointment.
Yesterday, the same thing happened at home with still another cartridge. I have an HP all-in-one printer at home and another at the office. There is no recourse to these defective cartridges, no way to prove that you didn't simply use them up. I have been pleased until now, but recently I installed a brand new, sealed HP 56 black cartridge at the office and it registered empty and didn't print, even though it was well before its expiration date. Another new cartridge worked fine. There is no other product I can think of to compare to this rip-off. Even though I am satisfied with my printers, one more strike and they go to the curb.
This is one of those cases where you get what you pay for. Cost a bit more, but they work perfectly. I tried the re-fill route, and was not at all pleased - one cartridge leaked, another worked fine for a short while then started to produce smeary text. Bit the bullet and went back to the real HP 56 cartridge (this is for an HP all-in-one) and have never had a problem since. Amazon has a great deal if you set it up as a regular order - lower price and free shipping. Also, don't forget you can get $3 at Staples if you turn in your empty cartridges there.
