Since 2011 I have used first an HP Officejet 8000 printer and then since 2017 an Officejet 8620. I only use genuine HP inks, and I find that in the officejet models the inks are long lasting. I use my printer a lot as I am self-employed consultant engineer and I am forever witing reports and proposals and printing drafts for proof-reading.Before 2011 I used cheap models of HP Printers (eg deskjet) but i found that the inks cost more than the printers themselves and hardly lasted any time..For the last few years I have bought these 4-cartridge packs (940XL for my previous printer, 950XL for my current one), and I find them to be good value for money.

Not much to say. It's easy to fit and lasts a long time. It's worth getting the high yield cartridge even if you don't print much. They don't seem to go dry (which I have found with some other printers). Overall I find it good value (it's slightly cheaper on Amazon than ordering direct) and I always use the full retail product as my experiences with alternatives have been unhappy.You may know this already but to save ink, especially when printing from websites which often splash colour all over the place, there is a printer setting to save ink (this is separate from the quality setting, which is more to do with speed). Also you can select grayscale when you don't need the colour as colour cartridges are more expensive.

What can you expect from a genuine HP printer ink cartridges is to do the job well and these cartridges do exactly that.They are easy to unpack and install and it comes with self explanatory instructions. These cartridges do last for quite a while and produce high quality print outs, both colour and black.However the only problem with it is the price! They are very expensive. I don’t quite understand why cartridges have to be so expensive as the ink in them costs pennies to produce, but I guess that’s how these companies make their fortunes.To save money but have very slight compromise on quality you may consider alternative third party cartridges.Apart from the cost.

The ink is a lovely shade of black, it reminds me of the dark of the desert.It writes lovely and smoothly across the silken sheets of HP paper that we use.The ink lasts a long, long time and I feel that if HP hadn't been very naughty and tried to stop people using alternative cheaper cartridges i would have given them a zillion stars for the superb (if somewhat overpriced) cartridges. As it is, this little cartridge is absolutely essential for my printer to work when it's in, it works a treat.Thank you HP for your expensive, but wonderful cartridges.Now I'll have to get my tongue out of my cheek as I've got a Quality Street toffee that is demanding my attention.

I purchased the HPOfficeJet Pro 8610 printer 3 years ago- the cartridges, while initially may seem a bit expensive at £17-24 a pop - they really do last! The standard 951 Black cartridge does give approximately 700-800 pages . I like the fact that if I run out of black ink unexpectedly the printer allows me to use the other cartridges to print . Since using the original HP cartridges, I have not had to ever clean, or re-align the printer heads and get perfect printing every time. It is not worth getting any compatible cartridges because over time ,they clog your printer heads & then you lose ink, having to clean the heads. Excellent value for money

I decided to buy the genuine HP cartridges after reading few reviews of the non-official ones. Needless to say, it was a child's play to install them and the printer recognised them immediately and I was up and running in no time. Once I removed the old cartridges, I noticed that they were a "starter" pack, the ones that came with the printer. I am not a heavy user but these ones lated for over 2 years so I am guessing the "full fat" ones I have in now will last for a long while. The quality of the prints is top notch as expected. I know I am paying 3 times as much as the non HP cartridges but I can not put a price on peace of mind :)

I found out the hard way that some printers (especially Epsons) don't like it when you use compatible cartridges. So I have been determined with my new HP to use original cartridges. This is an original cartridge so it is the best for your printer. But boy are they expensive. You can get a compatible for about a tenth of the money. I know that the original is better quality but it's not that much better. The business models of all the printer manufacturers is to sell the printers at a loss and the ink at a huge huge profit. Surely there has to be some middle ground to make things fairer for heavy users...

What's to say? They are original inks so they are the best in terms of quality and the longevity of your printer. They are totally exorbitantly priced of course - Fifty five odd quid? Are you having a laugh? But as someone who's suffered the bereavement of losing a printer to cheap ink *sniff*, I have made an agreement to myself to stick with originals all the time this printer owes me. At least they do give you confidence that you're going to get a reasonable number of pages out of them. They do last a long time and the quality is excellent.

The output of the HP OfficeJet Pro Plus 8600 was always excellent. There was no streaking or other imperfection. I do not know if other printers were cheaper, but I was always amazed at how many prints I could get out of the cartridge. After about 8 years, my 8600 just stopped working last week, coincidentally, , so I had to buy the later model, the 9010, which is also excellent, but uses different cartridges, the 963. The HP 8600 no longer seems to be made, so I suppose the 960/961 cartridges are also now superceded.

A word of advice. I have 2 printers - an HP photosmart C309g and an Officejet 8600 pro plus. Buy an HP photosmart printer and you are doomed to paying extortionate amounts for ink. The officejet sips the ink in comparison - is quicker and is now my default printer. This ink, being XL, is dear but will last a long time. Don't make the mistake I made and buy 'compatible' - your printer will suffer - HP genuine ink will make your printer last longer - very high quality

Just got through my first set of XL cartridges. It's taken me almost exactly 1 year in which I've printed 3200 pages in total of which 2300 were colour. That's about 1.7p per page.I'm happy with the quality and overall cost per page; much cheaper for me than HP Instant Ink which would have cost me approx £96.00 per year compared to £57.00 for cartridges.All costs based on March 2016 prices.

It's always a tricky decision to buy non brand or brand ink, I have bought both and now only buy hp ink - the main reason being that the quality if gtr finished product is superior. If you just want a document in any way possible and it just needs to readable, then non brand is likely ok. But for good results (sharp text, bright colours) this item us superior.

Genuinely happy initial concern on colour cartridges being sent without packing have prove me wrong. Would have liked to have seen clearer message saying this would happen to save on postage or I missed it. But the black did have packing?Also seems strange to send the three colour cartridges separately, but hey ho.

Took a little bit longer to arrive than I expected. I strongly recommend using original HP cartridges for the HP 8600 e-All in one because refill ones have a tendency to mess up your printhead. I tried one and I had to have a replacement printhead. Stick with these originals but shop around for the best price.

I purchased the HP 8610 printer just under a year ago - this is the first time since purchase i have had to change the starter cartridges in this colour and the yellow. The cost of this cartridge is worth every penny as you easily get 700-1000 printed pages out of them.
