5.0 out of 5 stars Color's fading? It might not be the cartridge, February 28, 2008

If your printer's color is starting to fade, (especially reds and magentas) and you're thinking the cartridge is running low, it might actually be the printer is dirty internally. Unfortunately, the cleaning process is intricate and not a do-it-yourself task. What's going on is dust has settled on the lenses and mirrors in the laser scanning unit. My sources at HP tell me this is a "dirty little secret" with the 1600 and 2600-series printers and that you'll probably need to have it cleaned every 18 to 24 months depending on how dusty your area is.

I'm telling you this in a review for toner as this cartridge is used in the affected printers. Five stars for being a high-quality product that's not going to leak toner on you like some off-brand refilled cartrige might.

3.0 out of 5 stars Package deal cost more than individual cartridges combined!!!, February 16, 2008

This review is from: Original HP Color LaserJet Q6003A Magenta Print Cartridge in Retail Packaging (Office Product)

According to the above info, the costs of the the individual cartridges are:

The MSRPP for the black cartridge is $74.99, and for the color ones is $82.99 each. That's a total of $323.96. So why is the price of the 4 cartridge set $340.99?????????

It costs HP less to package, store and ship an entire set yet they charge more? Same for the retailer; it costs them less to store and ship the sets. So why is the consumer paying extra? If anything, companies usually give discounts when you buy package deals.

Save yourself $17 and buy the individual cartridges as needed!

After I put the new Magenta Cartridge into my printer, the reds looked faded on the test prints. I removed the cartridge, cleaned the area, gave the cartridge a good shake, and put it back into the printer. No change - still faded reds. I'm very disappointed. I purchased the HP cartridge specifically so this would not happen (after reading the reviews of cheaper re-manufactured units). Now I have to ask for and wait on a replacement ... if I can get one. Lesson learned - if you're going to pay full price anyway, buy from a local supplier.
