My printer accepted both color and black cartridges without any problems. The price is fantastic compared to HP prices. The only thing I don't like is that the printer doesn't show the ink level in the cartridges. I will most likely order from Valuetoner again. Update May 25, 2019: A refurbished Valuetoner Tricolor XL cartridge printed 2 photos and then my printer kept showing an incompatible cartridge message. I have reinstalled the ink cartridge several times with no success. This is an XL cartridge that I cannot use. I wasted my money and a full ink cartridge.
