I usually order directly from HP when there is a sale on ink cartridges (I can get overnight shipping with no extra charge), but I needed ink right away. I have ordered other inks from Amazon for another printer and sometimes the cartridges are OK, sometimes not. (they are refilled ones, not HP).

....I mean literally. I needed to print a number of photos from my HP at home. It's something that I don't do that often. When I inquired about the necessity of this additional cartridge I was told that it was required. I got home to find there was not spot for it in the printer.

Works great, I only use HP products. So I would recommend it to anyone with a HP printer.

So I brought this around June 1, 2018, for my home. I don't print very much (concert tickets, return slips, occasional instructions), so about 20 pages since I about the ink. I took the ink cartridge out shook it put it back in and still nothing.

This regular black cartridge has a even lower page count as advertised and won't last long. They do work fine. For longer lasting cartridge get the XL one instead. Buy this cartridge if you don't print much or you just simply need the lower cost.
