You really shouldn't show the picture of the genuine HP cartridges when the seller sends you a knock off that doesn't work as well. This is false advertising! You can't show a picture of something and sell something else! And there was nothing said about getting a knock-off product. If you're looking for ink for ur inkjet, don't get it here.. it may be cheap, but it's not the real thing, and it doesn't work well. every few times i print i get these ugly streaks and i have to print over again.

Don't even think of clicking the "used" button; you'll be sorry. When it comes to so-called "remanufactured" cartridges especially for HP inkjet printers, don't take the chance. The "used" cartridge doesn't last as long, there's a possibility that the cartridge may explode, rendering your printer useless, and probably you'll void the warrenty on the printer. Don't be deceived, buy only "new" for HP printers (especially because the head is in the print cartridge.) Also a note to the Amazon people: Don't show a picture of a twin pack for the "used" product, because that's not what your getting in the mail if you buy it.

I just opened a new pack of these and the first cartridge I took out of the two-pack appears already half empty. This was from a sealed plastic carton bought new. I noticed writing on the package of install before AUG 2005 so I have almost a year before they "expire". The indicator was half green and half black so I assume I got a cartridge only half full. Out of curiosity I opened the second cartridge and found that its indicator was entirely green meaning it was OK. So, being that I only got 3/4 of the ink I paid for I have to give it a 1 star.

...
On the plus side, HP has improved the design of the cartridges so they do not gum up as bad as they once did. Years ago, I had a HP 660CSE printer, and the cartridges were notorious for gumming up. My current 932C works great with these cartridges.
In a nutshell, this is a good quality cartridge but still not a good value for the money. Even though you can save a few bucks by buying the twin pack I am tempted to try cartridges from aftermarket manufacturers, or even refill kits.

Just what I expected. Put it in your printer and get to work immediately! Great seller too!
