This is a bet on whether my ink carriage will work or not. It doesn't matter where I shop, Revain, Sam's Club, Walmart. Sometimes they work perfectly, and sometimes they don't print brand new out of the box. I want to speak to a sales representative or customer service. This has happened to my HP DeskJet 3052A several times over the years. I but ink 61xl or just reg. 61 inks. Brand new, unpacked, unprinted. Try a different one and it will print. There have been agreements a couple of times and it's very frustrating. Now I buy in bulk so if a new one out of the box doesn't work I have a backup. The tricky part is figuring out where I bought the ink cartridge to return it. My 61 combo pack black and tri color both carriages didn't work to print, opened a new box and it printed fine with a different ink carriage. The expiry date of this double box is July 2021. Barcode 8611178782. What I then bought here at Revain, my new 61xl black ink out of the box didn't work. Expiry date March 2021. Barcode 8496298362. Can someone explain why they are not printing when it was meant for my printer? As I mentioned this has happened over the years, now it's a gamble to buy. I should learn to just staple the receipt to the ink cartridge box so I know where to return it. I lost money on many new HP61 ink carts that never worked and I couldn't get them back.
