 Good Carts. August 29, 2010
C. Weaver (Rusk, Texas United States)
As with the color HP 97 carts, the black carts are just as good. I wish they made the color carts as big as the black and white, but that's OK. They last a good while. Great carts!
 Received NOT as Pictured June 14, 2010

First of all, I waited over a week to receive the product and I am not used to that with Amazon fulfilled products. The two ink cartridges (HP96) did not come in their original commercial box as pictured, but in a small cardboard box. The cartridges were, however, in their original plastic wrap with the HP logo. The dilema is the expiration date. The commercial box shows that information and the plastic inner wrap does not, so I do not know if I received an already out of date product or close to it, so red flags rise as to why they sent them this way; even the alpha/numeric codes on the plastic wrap are somewhat smudged out!! Also, I should note that the vendor I received the product from is not the one mentioned here. What's up? Now I have to go through the process of talking with Amazon to see what we can do. Not that happy right now.
 NOT for HP psc 1610 all-in-one April 17, 2010

The only reason I gave this one star is because it was the wrong cartridge for my printer. Despite what the "will this fit your printer?" FAQ box says, this cartridge did not work with my HP psc 1610 all-in-one. It fit all right, but the printer itself told me, "The 96 cartridge is not for use with this printer." The box itself didn't list my printer, so I called Amazon before I opened it. I got the OK to open it, tried it out with the Amazon rep on the line, and it wouldn't work - so he's sending me a shipping label to return it despite my having to open it. This is another reason I love Amazon - they try to make things right when they're at fault, and even sometimes when they're not at fault. They're supposed to change the FAQ box, but this is a heads-up just in case.
I like HP Ink March 3, 2010

One thing I really like about HP ink is that the printer head is in the cartridge. This may account for slightly higher cost. Really it's probably more to prevent pirate cartridges than to provide a better experience for the customer, but it has its advantages. Where many printers will get damaged by running the ink low, the only risk you have with a HP is damaging the printer cartridge, which will be out of ink anyway. You have less risk.
The ink is good quality and lasts a long time. We don't print very often, but when we do the pages always look very clear. Past HP 96 ink has lasted well past its expiration date and still performed well. Our color ink cartridge (HP 97) is many years past expiration and still seems to work on the rare occasions we print something in color. HP is my favorite printer company.
I notice some have commented on the company selling the cartridges. The proper place for company comments/reviews are in the feedback for the seller not in the product review. Sellers may be replaced by Amazon as time passes.
Update 05/22/10
------------------
I just had the first of two cartridges fail on me. It started printing out garbled lines that were barely legible. This was completely unexpected from a company like HP. I thankfully still have a backup, but that's a good chunk of money wasted. If this second one dies that quickly, I think I'll be choosing another printer company next time around.
Suspect a knock-off March 2, 2010

The two cartridges came loose in a shipping box; NOT in the dual box pictured. There is NO indication of any expiriation date to be found on the wrappers. I suspect that these Malaysian products are a knock-off.
