The key thing to note here is that the 'Photo Black' and 'Black' cartridges are not the same thing. The black cartridge has a pentagon symbol on it while the photo black has a 'bow tie' design. The two cartridges are not interchangeable, as they do not perform the same function.Some of HP's printers do not require the photo black cartridge while others do. If you're not sure if your printer requires it, check to see how many cartridges your printer takes. The 4 cartridge printers do not require a photo black cartridge, while the 5 cartridge printers do.If you're buying the 'Black' cartridge, you may find that the cartridge you receive doesn't fill up all of the space available to it in the printer's slot.

I bought this cartridge after an annoying experience with some "compatible" cartridges where the ink level wasn't displayed, plus, every time I switched the PC or any other device networked to my HP 7520 multi-function printer you got a persistent warning "Non-compatible cartridges installed". I suspect a recent HP system upgrade installed these warnings and made them more persistent. Despite following instructions from the "compatible" cartridge supplier I couldn't get rid of the warnings.The quality of these HP cartridges is first rate - accurate colours, no streaking and clear ink level indications plus there's the added extra that our local animal charity can recycle HP original cartridges to raise funds but not compatibles.

When ordering always check for the PRODUCTION NUMBER/CODE....here is why:This listing is for genuine HP 364XL cartridges. The MODEL NUMBER/CODE is 364XL; it prints approximately 550 A4 sides with average usage. The PRODUCTION NUMBER/CODE (aka SKU, aka stock-keeping unit) is CN684EE (US version ends in WN not EE). The dimensions are 106 x 23 x 115 mm.This is not to be confused with the ORIGINAL cartridge of MODEL NUMBER/CODE 364; which has PRODUCTION NUMBER/CODE CB316EE, and the SAME DIMENSIONS, but lower capacity of 250 A4 sides!Also NEITHER of these cartridge types should be confused with the DISCONTINUED cartridge with MODEL NUMBER/CODE 364XL, with PRODUCTION NUMBER/CODE CB321EE,

I have an HP Deskjet 3070A and have been buying these cartridges for it. The 364 XL ones contain more ink but these suit my purposes.They arrived quickly and well packaged when I ordered my last lot from this seller. Unfortunately, my printer decided it was not going to print with the black cartridge. I have had my printer for about a year so did a head clean etc but still it wouldn't print properly. I was wondering if there was a problem with the cartridges until I found something very simple and very useful which I thought I'd pass on in case anyone else has had the same problemIf you know ink is not empty but it won't print - Take out cartridge, dampen some kitchen paper towel with warm water,

I thought I'd already done this but here goes anyway. I've recently bought two lots of these cartridges. Second lot from Cartridge King were cheaper. I'd been given the printer which was clogged up. This I rectified and bught the first set of genuine HP ink to get it going which seems to be OK. I don't print much but I do exercise the thing every third day, if no other printing is done, using three words in Black, Green and Red which should use all four inks. I simply update the document each time so the print comes up in a different place on the same sheet of paper, which lasts several months. This latest batch is simply for when any of the inks in the printer run out. I haven't unpacked the latest batch yet.

I didn't read the reviews before ordering as I was in a rush, but everything seems ok with my order except I didn't realise my printer needs 5 cartridges not four. I assumed this pack was a full set for my new printer, but if I'd counted the cartridges that are clearly shown in the amazon photo and opened my printer I'd have realise my error and ordered the fifth one. According to my printer the cartridges I received are genuine HP ones and are full of ink. Some reviews seem concerned that this firm uses refilled cartridges, if the ink is HP quality I'm ok with that as the set was £5 cheaper than Tesco, but if it turns out to be lower quality ink then I'll update this review and lower my rating.

Beware that HP now manufacture 364XL Black cartridges with 2 times standard capacity in place of the original 3 times standard capacity.Dunnings accept orders for the original 3x but supply the inferior 2x. They refuse to make a partial refund or pay return postage, blaming Amazon for the confusion. However, they made a very prompt no-quibble refund when I returned the cartridges.I doubt if any supplier still has the original 3x high capacity cartridges. To save further waste of return postage, I ordered the new 2x 550 page cartridges from Indigo Starfish and received the goods very quickly.It's time Amazon insisted that suppliers claiming to have 3x high capacity actually have them in stock

Have always used genuine HP supplies and ordered from Cartridge King through Amazon for convenience. Latest batch had problems with the black ink (wouldn't work) and ended up using lots of the other inks in the new cartridges going through the various test options to resolve the problem. Wasn't best pleased at all. Went through complaints procedure via Amazon marketplace and Cartridge King were very quick to respond, very pleasant and sent replacement cartridges and a freepost address to return the problem cartridges. Was driven by price before, but will now be a loyal Cartridge King customer as have been very impressed with service. Four stars for product as do begrudge prices for printer ink,

I've ordered these cartridges a number of times, and they are the genuine article. They are well made and of the quality you would expect from HP.Unfortunately though, they don't last very long. Particularly considering the materials and packaging that go into containing such a small quantity of ink. I'm usually lucky if I can get past 100--150 pages from each ink cartridge. That's just printing normally, some colour, some black and white onto A4 ink jet paper. I'm 95% satisfied with the printer, I just think the colours can be a little muted sometimes. So I am stuck with having to buy these (I wouldn't personally want to try non-genuine replacements),

I only purchase these now directly from Amazon. I have had some issues with 3rd party sellers and made the decision that for less hassle just pay a bit more.The packaging of the inks is easy to open, and simple to install in to the printer. Quality wise, i'm happy with them. They yield about in line with what HP states, and because I do print often I have not experiences and problems with dried up ink.I do find that every so often I have to purchase a ink separately because I do use the Black & Cyan ink more often, as I don't like building up a reserve of inks I dont use as often.I have never received out of date inks from Amazon and certainly have no questions about them being counterfeit

I never buy refills or cheap alternatives because I am a great believer in 'you get what you pay for'. HP toners are expensive compared to other makes and more expensive if you buy them from HP direct, strangely. However, I knew that when I bought the printer and I consider the quality of the printing to be first class. I only buy from Amazon as I experienced out of date toner being delivered when purchased through market place sellers. It takes a lot of time and bother to get a replacement and if you have run out in the meantime its more hassle.They are easy to install and last a reasonable amount of time especially if you print in draft mode for all but the essential colour items.

Feb 2012 Amazon supplied @ £17.99 inc shipping. Items on box are dated Dec 2013, at this price the best price so far!I was a wee bit concerned that a few reviews said that the 'their seller' sent out of date inks, some only lasting a few prints and so on . . .It's confusing as when you look at best price and click a review, it can put you off that 'best price' when you see remarks such as out of date, took ages to replace item etc!When making a product review from multiple sellers' it may be advisable to add the date & seller involved, unless Amazon will do this in future! I know it's a PRODUCT review but most folk associate the seller page they were on rather than the PRODUCT.

As HP Cartridges have demonstrated , their print quality is of a faultless standard when installed correctly using the appropriate printing settings.However , HP ink cartridges are certainly not defying the trend of expensive printer inks , whilst these will print 200-250 pages each , that isn’t extraordinary if essays , letters , postage labels and articles are being printed frequently.Therefore , this product is ideal for those who print relatively frequently , perhaps 20 sides per week , as the purchase frequency will be reduced .However , those who print for business or commercial purposes should seek alternative , more efficient printers for future savings.

This cartridge is suitable for, amongst others, a HP printer model no. B109n. I particularly like the XL size which I find lasts me a considerable period of time and saves me money per print against the normal size cartridge. (I use my printer almost daily but only for small amounts each time). I have found that I get a warning that the ink is low but am able to print several more pages without a deterioration in print quality and usually wait until a page physically shows lack of ink in its printing before changing a cartridge. I also like the fact that these cartridges are easily recyclable. I find the quality of printing good even on a lower quality paper.
