Customer Reviews

GOOD Ink !
I use this ink in my HP Photosmart P1100 color printer. Great results - - especially when used with HP paper. But for the best value, consider buying the high-capacity cartridge. The model# (SKU) for that is C6578AN. The cartridge is the same physical size, but it contains more ink. But whatever you buy, be sure to store it UPRIGHT. That helps prevent bubbles or air pockets that can form inside which can cause imperfections on the printed page.

I bought the HP printer due to quality & long lasting ink!
After researching several printers for photo quality, I purchased the P1100. Not only are the photos beautiful the ink jet cartridges last much longer than their competitors. I also own a Lexmark, NEC and Cannon. The ink seems to always run out faster and the price is comparable.

This price is fantastic for this cartridge...

HP still has a monopoly, but their cartridges ARE improving
I've owned a HP printer which required the use of the 1823D cartridge, and this cartridge seems to be a vast improvement over that one. I'd estimate that it seems to print about 30-40% longer than that earlier-designed HP cartridge. Of course that could be put down to the printer itself, but the point is that I get more life out of this cartridge than my last ones.

This is moderately good news for anyone, like me, concerned about the monopolistic nature of ink jet cartridges in general. While I generally think that the Justice Department would be better-served to spend time investigating the monopoly of ink-jet supplies than Microsoft, at least it appears that HP is trying to improve their products.

Out of completeness, it should be pointed out that the Amazon description, above, fails to mention that this is the cartridge for the 1220 series as well as the 900 one.
