No individual packaging inside, leads to quick drying

These were opened 2 days ago to replace fake printer cartridges I was trying to get to save some money (they are running everywhere off). The first problem is that newer HP printers will tell you when you're not using their branded ink cartridges, so performance drops a bit, just based on their software tracking trying to find something cheaper. The second problem is that these cartridges cost almost $50 each, which is absolutely absurd for single cartridges (as of November 9, 2020). The final problem is that when you take out a small loan to buy printer ink, it's not individually wrapped in the box it comes in, so it was half dry when I put it in. I had to run printer ink. Head cleaning function 18 times (3 separate modes x 6 iterations), which of course suggests that they were almost out of ink at that point. It still doesn't print perfectly, has a line through one of the black print areas and is misaligned due to drying. I will never use HP again for their printers no matter what the deal is at the time. When you mix all of this with the fact that their new service, which delivers its own on-demand ink from sensors in a Wi-Fi connected printer, at extremely inflated prices and with an unreliable or too frequent frequency, HP is doing it in my opinion .

Pros
  • Useful for more than intended purpose
Cons
  • There are bugs
