3.0 out of 5 stars HP Inkjet Refills, December 18, 1999

Better than the last one I tried. Be sure to wear gloves. Also, be sure the fill hole is very dry before attempting to adhere "dot", or it won't stick. Some ink will drip from print head for about 2 minutes, have a cup or lint-free towel ready.

1.0 out of 5 stars You call that black???, April 9, 2001

I don't know what black means to Dataproducts. But this ink is no where near black. It's between a deep shade of navy blue and a dark grey color. FAR from the real solid black you get from the original HP cartridges. What's worst, the ink bleeds alot on regular paper, even the ones with minimal fibers. Like the other user said, get a pair of gloves, and ALOT of paper towels, and even more patience. It proves to me again that refill is never as reliable and good of quality as the OEM inks. Think of this, the photo or glossy inkjet paper you buy for a sheet... They are chemically treated to react well with certain OEM ink. Its chemical does not react optimally with some aftermarket bulk ink that isn't precisely formulated. I guess this is not too bad of an idea, if you just print alot of junk that quality isn't your priority.

4.0 out of 5 stars not as good as a new cartridge, but close, October 22, 2002

it's a very good product. like other refill kits i've tried, the ink smears more and dries more slowly than the original cartridge. however, the instructions are simple and the kit is more complete and easier to use than the office depot version. since staples stopped selling it, i'm stocking up.

and yes, rubber gloves won't hurt, and definitely refill outside or on newspaper.
