This review is from: HP No. 56 Black Ink Cartridge Twin Pack (C6656AN-Bundle) (Office Product)

This bundle contains two HP 56 black (C6656AN) cartridges used on many common HP DeskJet printers. As I am in graduate school, I use my printer a lot (about 1,000 pages a month of mostly black and white pages.) I typically use a cartridge every three weeks or so, which seems very good to me. I have enabled some ink saving features on the printer, although the quality of the printed pages still seems excellent to me.

I am very impressed with these cartridges, and Amazon's price is the best I have found. One feature that I like is that HP is now putting business reply mail return envelopes for returning old cartridges for recycling. As an aside, on my printer I get a low ink warning long before the printing is visibly degraded, so I tend to print until I can see the ink fading, which may account for me getting more copies per cartridge than others seem to.

I like the HP printer line, and recommend an HP DeskJet with appropriate cartridges for efficient and reasonably priced printing, especially to relatively high volume home users.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's posted under NEW, what you get is a REFURB, August 25, 2008

I only shopped ads that said NEW when I needed to re-stock cartridges for all my printers. Although the low price is normally a tip off, there are a lot of NIB products offered at seriously low prices, so I clicked and paid. What I received wasn't new, but refurbs. Don't think it is ethical to post the product under the NEW only heading, then mention in the fine print of the description that they're re-manufactured. To be fair, the first cartridge works; however, it's not the price, it's the principle. Caught me once for not reading every line, but never again.

I bought a refurbished cartridge and it didn't work.

Best to buy original HP cartridge whether you buy it from Amazon or a private individual.
