Advantages: quality
Disadvantages: price

...As with all HP products you can expect great quality and crisp grey scale images. The benefit of using Original HP inkjet print cartridges is that they offer consistent print quality and reliable performance.With the HP 350 you can expect "archival-quality documents that resist fading for decades" thanks to HP Vivera Ink. Although HP print cartridges are coming down in price you can still expect to pay a lot more than other substitute brands. The real question is whether the extra money is worth it. With some of the alternative products on the market today I am inclined to believe you can the same quality for less money. Many alternative ink cartridges contain more ink than official HP cartridges, however the problem with these cartridges is not always being sure of the quality of the product you are buying, nor the reliabilty...

Disadvantages: EXPENSIVE IF LOTS OF USAGE

...HP 57 TRI-COLOUR INKJET PRINT CARTRIDGE You may have heard of a two car family, well I hate to say it that we are now a two printer family. My wife who has a laptop was constantly using my printer for her own work and funnily enough, my ink cartridges were constantly running out, so we decided to invest in a second printer which takes HP cartridges number 56 (black) and number 57 (colour). HP 57 PACKAGING AND CONTENTS The packaging itself makes it look as if you are getting a larger cartridge than the one you actually get. For those of you that are into minimal packaging, then I would say that there is too much packaging, in the form of cardboard, and depending on where you buy them from, these are then further packaged into a see through plastic holder. The cartridges that I have bought recently come from various parts... Read review

Advantages: Ease of use, reliability, print quality
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

...This toner is designed for use with the HP Laserjet 1100 series printers. We have a number of these printers at the company I work for and so make use of these toners quite a lot. The toner is quoted as having a page life of 2,500 pages and retails at a price of around £40. The cartridge comes packaged in a large box with the toner type clearly labelled on the front, which is handy. The toner is secured within the box by two large cardboard holders and comes in package that closely resembles bin bag material! In Use This toner cartridge has been sensibly designed so as to make it a fairly easy process when removing an old toner and replacing with a new one. The toner itself slots into the printer, and so this means the old toner just needs to be removed from the holding slots in the toner bay and the new one put in its place... Read review

Advantages: good value for money, great quality work, cartridges last well
Disadvantages: cost of replacement cartridges

...The HP 840C is my second HP printer, my first one being the 640C which I purchased a couple of years ago. I have had my HP 840C for 6 months now and i'm very happy with it. It has been a very sturdy machine, with good, fast printing speeds, excellent quality printing both on cheap and expensive paper, and also you dont need to use it on best quality to get good results as the standard quality is good enough for most jobs. I haven't seen a better printer for printing out photos on than the photo quality that we can see in this printer when used with HP photo quality paper. Operation of this machine and maintenance tasks like changing ink cartridges is an absolute doddle. I haven't had to replace my cartridges yet however because this printer is very economical when it comes to ink use and you can also use cheap paper for generic tasks... Read review

Advantages: High quality flawless printing guaranteed
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I own an HP Deskjet 950C (Most cartridge distributors websites have compatibility tables to find the right cartridge for your printer) and I've been buying these HP ink cartridges for a few years now. So far I have never had problem with them. I think I do an average amount of printing; A few photos, documents, maps for driving, etc. and these cartridges have always performed flawlessly. But then you'd expect them to wouldn't you? They are made by a reputable manufacturer and are specifically designed for use in my printer. They come well packaged, vacuum sealed in plastic to prevent the ink drying out, and securly contained inside sturdy cardboard cases. They are, generally, easy to install by following the instructions that came with the printer. I don't have experience with every HP printer, but I have installed ink cartridges... Read review

Advantages: Good quality low volume printing
Disadvantages: Needs replacing quite often

...When you rate this review you are rating it on how helpful it is or is not on making a decision whether to buy this ink cartridge. If I’m honest I don’t know if I am the right person to write this review as I myself did not decide to buy a printer that needed this cartridge as the printer came free with the computer, and obviously a lot of you will be in the same position. If I were to be in the position of deciding whether to buy this cartridge and/or a corresponding printer, I probably wouldn’t, as I find I'm having to replace the cartridge quite frequently. The cartridge contains 8ml of Yellow, cyan and magenta ink, however, it is possible to get the same cartridge from other brands with double the ink, although sometimes the quality can be lacking, as the HP printer best supports HP products. In terms of quality the number 28... Read review

Advantages: Solid all-round general printer.
Disadvantages: Not cheap and photographic printing unspectacular.

...The 6940 is the sort of a solid, reliable printer you would expect from HP - with very easy connection through USB. Quality of output on ordinary paper with standard cartridges is very good and, on the correct paper with the photographic cartridges, sufficient for reasonably good photographs. The lack of manual adjustment for alignment (or very little else) is a little alarming, but the automatic systems do work. Overall the 6940 (for an inkjet printer) is economical with cartridges - even though they can be hard to get and quite expensive when you eventually have to replace them. The black cartridge refills easily (although I've never tried it with the colour cartridge). Doesn't like particularly thick or rigid card. Looks like a high price for the specs - even at £80 - but it is quality kit. If you don't really need best quality... Read review
