Thanks to HP for extending these ink cartridges

My first (full) ink cartridge was quickly empty. He never printed the specified number of pages (600). My printer was set to print draft style, not quality, but I finished it sooner than I should have. Thankfully I don't type much, but I was disappointed that it didn't take long for the ink to run out before the program told me I was out of ink. Grrr. Angry camper. I spoke to HP about this and found that although their inkjet printer settings have a "draft" feature, that setting does not apply to the inkjet printer I have. Grrr again. If the cartridges weren't so expensive I wouldn't have resisted so much, but they are close if not as expensive as a new inkjet printer. Grrr for the third time. Despite the triple Grrr, I was impressed with the last cartridge I bought. Not sure if HP improved this or not, although I suspect they did because the last cartridge lasted quite a while. I'm not exactly sure which number was printed, but I can say I have a good idea and I was happy to see that the number was significant before the ink ran out. So it's entirely possible that I printed as many pages as HP claims. To smile. I am very happy with the latest results.

Pros
  • Up to 2x more printouts with original HP inks than inks from other manufacturers
Cons
  • Compatibility
