This cartridge doesn't last long.

I bought this cartridge for my HP printer which I rarely use for small jobs. A few months and it's gone. I couldn't believe it! I probably don't print a page or two a week on average. I had to buy a 62XL cartridge from a local store to finish. At these prices, it looks criminal. I can't imagine any moderate or active user delving into this nonsense. I think my printer is called HP ENVY because you envy anyone who doesn't have to put up with this plagiarism. Don't buy an HP printer if you can, as the cost of ink is devastating. Update: I bought a 62XL cartridge and have the ink, but as I'm an infrequent user, the cartridge clogs or loses print quality. I have to manually wipe the surface of the cartridge and use the "Level 3" cartridge cleaning sequence to get a decent print. Incredibly annoying. My son bought a Brother laser printer and he has had no problems. While it doesn't have color, it doesn't have issues with cartridges or ink costs.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Obsolete
