Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ HP 62 Black Ink Cartridge: Compatible with ENVY 5540, 5640, 5660, 7640 Series, OfficeJet 5740, 8040 Series, OfficeJet Mobile 200, 250 Series by Bob Kandravi

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The cartridge is not suitable for regular printing (lifetime was 1 year shorter than promised, considering the expiration date)

Bought from Revain on February 17th, worked as expected until November 17th. Then They Began Producing printouts full of white streaks and simply skipping some areas of text renders printed documents completely unreadable and unusable. Cleaning noses and contacts did not help. The printer shows at least 70% ink left in the cartridge, so I'm assuming the ink is dry. The date on the cartridge is 11/07/2018. I have an original HP color cartridge that is in the same printer and has never been changed as I rarely print in color and to date (over a year) this cartridge has worked perfectly. So I think there are some quality issues here. I would not be original in concluding that you get what you paid for. This cartridge should probably be discarded as soon as possible, possibly within a few (up to 6-7) months of purchase. Don't pay attention to the expiry date. If you use this cartridge occasionally, this product may or may not be for you.

Pros
  • Expensive but decent
Cons
  • Poor set
