 These Color Cartridges do not last long Apr 20, 2007
By Jeffrey S. Alek
Love the print quality, but these do not last long. They go out without warning, nor explanation of problem. I tried to refill them with injected ink kits, no luck. Seems to me that HP puts a code on the catridge so when it is deemed done it is done, regardless if there is sufficient ink in cartridge.
I am upset w/ HP over this issue. They block after market competition, supply an overpriced, poor product, and do not offer bulk purchase of replacement cartridges.

 Way overpriced Feb 18, 2008
By Kenneth M. Scheinblum
"iiSCEO"
The cartridge (with Vivera Inks - whatever that means) produces fairly high quality color output. I really think the product is good. There are, however, a number of other factors to consider, preferably before you buy a printer:
1) The cartridges are extremely expensive
2) They run out of ink faster than one would expect
3) Unlike other makers, there is one cartridge for all colors, instead of multiple cartridges with single colors
4) Depending on your color preferences, you may need to replace the cartridge before it is empty. This is because if one uses a few color combinations a lot (think about putting your logo on everything you print, for example) you start to run low on a color component and not getting the color you want.
5) HP over-packaged the cartridges. If you are eco sensitive, you might have an issue. But you can send the cartridges back to HP for recycling at no charge.
6) If HP recycles their own cartridges, why do they try and scare buyers about purchasing recycled cartridges from another source?
7) If you do a lot of printing at one time, smears or drops can be expected.
7a) Remove and gently wipe any excess ink off of the jets with link free material.
Bottom line: very good quality but is it cost justified?

 Bad ink Sep 05, 2007
By C Flyer
I bought two cartridges of the HP 97 and neither one worked correctly. It either had dried ink or not filled correctly or some other problem. I took them to a store for a recycle credit and bought their ink. Theirs worked.

Technical Details Misleading Jul 14, 2006
By KROB
It states in the Technical Details that you can get 450 pictures from this cartridge. This is not true. After much discussion with HP, they finally admitted that it's only rated for 150 4 x 6 pictures. My experience is that you actually get a little under 100 pictures from it. If you're buying this cartridge, you've probably already bought the printer, but you should know before you buy the printer that you're going to go through a lot of expensive ink.

HP Ink smears Sep 12, 2008
By Markusx1a
"markusx1a"
I've not found a current HP printer/ink that you can highlight without it smearing. I don't why this is (and writing HP they will blame your paper or something). Xerox inks do not smear that I've seen.
