Customer Reviews

I'm still using the first printer (HP Deskjet 722C) I purchased. It's a war horse that has assisted with years of teaching, union negotiations, Statewide committee work, and volumes of files. When the local stores stopped stocking the in cartridges I stocked up on as many as I could find. Then the last one went dry. I didn't want to have to purchase a new printer. Fortunately, I discovered that HP still stocked ink cartridges. Within two days I was back in business. OK, my printer's not an AIO, and I have to hold onto an older computer to operate it, but it does an excellent job. Only thing better would be an updated driver for my new computer.

I have been a purchaser of HP products for many years and have never been disappointed. The HP 45 ink cartridge, along with the HP 78 ink cartridge, have supported my HP K80xi printer for many years now. Because my local source for those cartridges no longer carried them, I tried their refill service. The resultant performance from these refill cartridges were less than satisfactory, so I began purchasing the 45 and 78 cartridges direct from HP. Thank you HP for your quality merchandise!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have an old HP printer and am happy I can still find the ink cartridges, even if I had to go on line to do it. I may not have had to go on line if I had asked a store clerk to check their supply as I just recently went in to buy the color ink cartridge and though it wasn't on the shelf, they did have some that had just not been stocked yet. So - lesson learned - always ask a clerk before deciding they don't have what you want.

Thank you for continuing to offer the HP45 (and HP78/78XL) cartridges that allow me to keep my trusty DeskJet going. This little printer has been my workhorse for years and has proven more reliable for me than any of the newer printers I've purchased over the years. These ink cartridges work great and perform well. I keep several on hand at all times and order replacements several times a year. Great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so glad HP still sells this model ink for my older model 270 HP printer. No wireless, but it's still working after 21 years. This ink is fast drying & there is no lag time for it to"dry" like some of the newer ink jets have. Never any smudges or clumping with this ink. I wish HP sent the recycling bags out like they used to last year, so I can properly dispose of my used cartridges.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Both HP 45 and HP 78 ink tend to dry out very fast in an unused printer. Within two or three days without printing a page, the cartridges fade and streak upon use. I have had to clean the ink cartridges through the print service tab function to get it flowing again. This issue needs to be addressed by the HP design engineers to ensure adequate ink jet saturation under intermittent use.

I thought I'd save money by using a coupon to the big box store to get my old deskjet cartridges re-filled. Three months later, neither of the two refills were working, and I was frustrated over their poor quality and the loss of my money. HP service was extremely quick, and my work looks professional again. Thank you.

I use black ink only. Prints beautifully and fast on DRAFT. Never use color. The printer does not use color at all when printing black (greyscale). This is unlike all 4 cartridge HP printers which use or need the 3 color cartridges operating even when printing in black only!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered online from HP.com and got delivery in less than a week. Installed and printed as expected. This is for a DeskJet 970 that's about 17 years old and has been my primary printer. It's still going strong, I am extremely pleased with this printer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just bought the real HP ink after using the generic brands. Actually, my HP printer would no longer work with the cheap ink. Wondering if this is a feature of all HP printers? However, I'm glad I switched back and have no more "out of ink" problems.
