HP 350XL
I have recently started using this XL version replacing the previous smaller versions. I used both the black and colour cartridges at work.
My workload for printing is high as I am constantly preparing visual worksheets for pupils. I need high quality prints that are consistantly clear and of very good quality to ensure the children are attracted to what they see. I have found these cartridges provide clear, focused black prints and very good quality coloured images.

I am also extremely pleased with the quanity of prints each cartridge produces. Although i have not counted exact amounts of printing produced, I do not seem to be replacing them as often.

At first I did notice they were a little tricker to install, however this is due to the extended length. After installing the first set of cartridges, I have found it as easy as the smaller types.

Another bonus - so far I have not had any leaks that often occur from refills or cheaper versions.

Price wise the colour ones are obviously a little more and the XL range slightly more than orginal versions, however considering the better quality and quanity of prints you get, I would diffinately reccommend these.
