This is probably the best value you can currently get for the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500 printers if you decide to stay with the officially approved cartridge. Its 2200-page rating is more than double that of the HP 940 Officejet Black Ink Cartridge (C4902AN) but it costs only 1/3 more. Definitely preferred even for a casual user because, unless you use your printer as a fashion statement or status symbol in the office, you ARE going to have to replace a 1000-page cartridge, sooner or later.

The 2,200 page rating is based on HP's testing methodology meaning that it's highly unlikely that you will get 2,200 pages out of your cartridge. If you make copies, if you print photos, if you use the high quality settings you are going to run out of ink much sooner but the fact remains that you do get a lot more ink in this cartridge than in the 'regular' one.

HP claims (couldn't verify) that using Officejet inks on papers with the ColorLok logo the output will retain color quality 'for decades'. Such an ink/paper combination, according to HP, will produce documents that resist water and fading.

Made in Singapore.

The HP 940XL Ink Cartridge provides a lot of pages for the money in my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All-In-One Printer. We use our printer every day, having two teens in school and both my wife and I doing work from home, so we can use up a standard size cartridge fairly quickly. Since we don't like to use 3rd party inks, these high volume cartridges are the best value for us.

Recommended!

I purchased the HP OfficeJet 8500 because of the volume yields for printing (especially the black). I am running a tax and accounting business and I obviously blow through black ink on a regular basis. This helps me keep costs down and the ability to print with an inkjet allows me to provide colorful financial statements, reports, etc for my clients. If you need a little more than laser black and white printing, but cannot afford a color laser, I would recommend this product along with purchasing the HP 8500. Love this printer because of the XL cartridges and the ability scan my workpapers easily. This printer also allows you to define the buttons on the front of the unit to perform specific tasks... scan to client files directory, scan to email, etc. Very handy and I have been advising my monthly customers to get one of these for their small business needs.

The HP 940XL Black ink cartridge is a great value for me. I purchased my HP OfficeJet Pro 8000 printer for its ink yield rating, independent color cartridges, and the fact it had XL cartridges available for it. This higher capacity cartridges help to keep my cost per page printed down to something very reasonable.

Not much to talk about here, but Amazon has simply the best price for original HP cartdridges. I have reserached on a couple of other places and even with coupons, I ended up buying it here.

Having been in the 'copier' and multi function connected devices industry for a VERY long time, I feel uniquely qualified to review this product. I worked for a competing company for over 20 years, and upon leaving the other company I began looking for a device to meet my needs of scanning (to various destinations), copying, printing and very limited faxing (for my home office). I had decided to go with a laser device, but the promises of low output per page and the 'bang for the buck' of this device drew me to it instead. It was a great choice. Great output, acceptable speed (relatively slow scanning), and cost per page - the jury is still out - but that's because I'm still on my first set of cartridges. It appears that their estimates are fairly accurate, though.
The internet based user interface eases setup, and the device's touch screen interface is intuitive and easy to use. Great paper supply - memory card reader - document feeder (although a bit slow).

Sure, it's lightweight plastic, but for the price, what do you expect?

My only gripe? I can't get the scan to network feature to work. I have a house full of Apple computers - normally easy and intuitive to network - but all the support for this device's scan to network seems aimed at PC users. I know it will work, and eventually I'll take the time to get it working, but for now the scan to email and scan to memory device has met my needs, and it works flawlessly.

This is a great deal and, if it lasts more than a couple of years, I'll change that to a 'fantastic' deal.

Where's my discount, this is the same price as the retail stores are charging. You mark up the price and than you add a fake discount

prompt shipping, good quality product, as described on amazon, highly recommended seller. Will do business again. Thank you very much.

This cartridge came at a good price, on time, and is working as advertised. I would recommend this purchase to all.

Cartridge was new and received quickly. Saved a few dollars by purchasing on line. Will look to do the same in the future.
