4.0 out of 5 stars Good Ink quality but... December 26, 2009

By blankcb26

Amazon Verified Purchase

Yes, like other reviewers have said, this ink does die out a little fast but that is understandable seeing as how it is a small ink cartridge. People on here are starting to blame Amazon for some reason which is weird. I don't really have a problem with this ink but I do have a problem with my printer. It tells you that the ink has died out and you need to replace it way earlier than you actually need to. Don't pay attention to your printer or the levels it shows on your HP ink level chart on your computer. Don't change it until the actual ink starts to fade on your prints.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive, but still not worth the money December 21, 2010

By G. CALICO

The HP 564 Original Black is really inexpensive to buy. In addition, they do a fairly decent job of printing. However, I seem to be replacing these cartridges way, way too often. I am experiencing roughly 50-75 prints before the printer tells me it's time to replace the cartridge. HP advertizes up to 250 yield. I'm getting nowhere near that claim.

Overall, this product is horrible.

And, I refuse to purchase the more expensive "XL" version (3-4 times the cost of the non-"XL" version), even though HP claims they last 3-4 times longer than the original. HP advertizes up to 800 yield on these "XL" versions. I don't believe their first claim of 250 yield, so what makes you think I will believe their second claim.

1.0 out of 5 stars Really poor output November 14, 2010

By Karen Loughrey

I purchased a HP 6380 printer last January & although I am reasonably happy with the print quality & ease of use, the output from the ink cartridges is abysmal. A standard HP 564 black ink cartridge is supposed to produce 250 sheets (according to the information on the box) I have been getting 35-50 sheets of standard text (no block color printing). I have spent considerably more than the original purchase price in the last 10 months alone on ink for what I consider to be light home use. Needless to say, I will not be buying an HP printer again in the future.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work for HP 5510, Cartridge for Older Generation of Printer January 5, 2012

By Bobby W.

Amazon Verified Purchase

When I installed the ink cartridge, I got a message saying "Cartridge for older generation of printer". I checked the compatibility lookup tool and it said "Yes" it's compatible. I am very disappointed. There is no indication what version cartridge they are selling, until you install it and it does not work.

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not purchase August 23, 2012

By Wendy W

Amazon Verified Purchase

First of all, the ink did not arrive in the box pictured. It was still sealed in the plastic wrap so it was new but not in the original box. When I installed this into my new HP Photosmart 6510 I got the error message stating the cartridge was an older version. Needing ink immediately I went to the local Staples and bought yet another one. Got to talking to the tech support there as I couldn't understand why it wouldn't work and was even hesitant to buy from them. He explained that all ink is good for 2 years and is marked with the expiration date. (Thus the manufacture date is 2 year prior). He suggested I check the date. When I got home I checked and the ink I ordered here is marked "Nov. 2012". So while theoretically it has not expired, it was still manufactured in 2010 and is old which is why the printer would not accept it. This is a third party seller who is selling old, leftover ink. Do not buy this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Extremely low print capacity August 22, 2011

By C. Daly

I was a loyal HP customer for 12 years. My old printer from 1998 was getting long in the tooth, but still working great. However, I wanted a printer that would have wireless capability, print photos better, and would allow me to scan. So I bought a Photosmart Plus, which takes this ink. This ink is truly horrible. The estimates of how long it will last are WAY off. I don't print very much and I'm already on my 4th cartridge, one of which was an "XL" and supposed to last through 800 sheets. LOL!! I'm getting NOWHERE NEAR the estimated 250 sheets per regular and 800 sheets per XL cartridge. Not even close. Around the time I bought the printer I bought a ream of 750 sheets of paper which still isn't half gone. I have printed a few photos, but I was having errors when printing photos for a long time, so I have printed less than 20 4x6 photos the entire time I've owned the printer. In all honesty, it's probably cheaper to have photos professionally printed than to pay for this ink to print them! This ink is an insulting scam, not to mention an environmental nightmare. I really hope a competitor comes forward that can make great printers and efficient ink cartridges that aren't designed to be as wasteful as possible. Once I find that company, I will trash my HP printer (even though it is brand new) and these horrendous ink cartridges. I would MUCH rather pay a higher price up front for a quality printer, then to constantly find myself low on ink and unable to print anything, and throwing away cartridge after cartridge just to print a few recipes, mailing labels, and google map directions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Item received was definitely not "in Retail Packaging." January 17, 2012

By Chris Ford

Amazon Verified Purchase

The reason I purchased this particular item was that I wanted exactly what I would have gotten in any standard office supply store. I'm very wary of printer ink products, as the possibility getting for getting grey market or otherwise sub-standard ink is rampant. The item arrived in a standard Amazon brown box, but it was just the ink, shrink-wrapped with a few stickers on it. The ink looks legitimate so I'm choosing not to return it, but it's not what I ordered. I expect more from Amazon.
