I purchased this HP cartridge on January 9, 2018 but actually didnt open to use until July 27, 2018. The printer gave an error message that I couldnt use this cartridge. What I found later was that HP started regionalizing their cartridges, and whatever zone cartridge was in your printer when the regionalization started was where your printer defaulted...correct or not! This is very important since my printer had the wrong region defaulted at the time the last cartridge was put into service. I had to call HP to get my region on my printer corrected. As long as the product is under warranty they do it for free. This cartridge was correct after my printer was corrected. I had to find this out by the HP forum where a kind person replied to tell me the solution to my issue. I just dont want others to go through what I did, when it wasnt the cartridge I purchased here at Amazon.

Cartridge had good quality. Usable life was about as expected for an extended life cartridge.

works fine, but pretty expensive

The XL cartridges, while more expensive, last substantially longer than the standard cartridges. As I print a lot of papers and pictures, it winds up being cost saving.

Printer Ink...

Installed the cartridges and they worked perfect. High quality and at a fair price.

OEM cartridge, what could be better?

I should have asked specifically what the expiration date was going to be for the cartridge I was purchasing. It arrived today, the box, though sealed, was crushed and beat up. The expiration date is May 2014. I hope it works as long as it should, since its over two years beyond the expiration date.

Great price, high quality.

Competitive price.
