2.0 out of 5 stars Expired Ink; Not XL, August 5, 2009

This review is from: HP 88XL Black Officejet Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging (Office Product)

I'm torn. It is ink. It is cheap. And it arrived quickly.

However...it is expired ink, which sends HP printers (at least my OfficeJet Pro L7680) in to a hyperventilating tizzy every time I want to print. It takes me 4-5 menu-navigating button pushes every time I print, during which the printer repeatedly protests that my override is voiding any HP warranty. Nice touch, HP. Once I get through that, though, the print quality is fine.

Additionally, instead of 1 88XL, I received 2 regular-sized 88 cartridges. Not the end of the world. But not as advertised.

So...overall...it's ink. It's cheap. It works...sort of. But it is a big pain in the backside to use.

1.0 out of 5 stars Amazon falls down on the job, September 15, 2009

Usually we can depend on Amazon to only market and promote honesty and be a reliable seller of product...However, in this case they have fallen down on the job, selling non 88xl cartridges as xl's or, in one case, substituting two regular 88's for one 88xl. I am sorely disappointed.
