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.

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.

Order was filled just as promised - two genuine HP 56 cartridges were sent to me quickly. No packaging (supposedly to save postage) but who cared - they were in the sealed HP packages and while I've only used 1 of them, it works great.

Received the product in a timely fashion, needed it to continue use of my Printer. Cartridge worked fine, no issues.

every since i installed the cartridge my printer has been acting up so im not sure

I knew I would get a good offer on this product and I did.I only waited a few days.Thank You

I've owned a printer that uses this ink for 4 years, and have had very little problem with them. The print is sharp and consistent; and get about what I expected as far as print pages goes.

The one problem that I have on occasion is probably not the cartridge, but the printer: every once in awhile I'll have to load the cartridge several times before it is recognized by the printer (this in spite of carefully positioning the cartridge as per instructions).

As quickly as the order was given, I was responed to and the package was on its way. Kudos!

A print cartridge is a print cartridge, and it is not clear to me why I continue to buy some of them brand-new, as opposed to the considerably cheaper recycled ones. So far, I have had no problems with any of the recycled cartridges that I have bought.
