HP 60XL Black Ink (CC641WN#140)

I use an F4240 printer which requires use of the HP 60 ink cartidge for both color and black and white. At your invitation, I read these reviews and ratings and find them to reflect disappointment and dissatisfaction with the 60 and 60XL cartidges by other users in terms of their capacity to print the numbers of copies advertised. And they are excessively expensive.Like those users who feel trapped in a costly situation with an under-performing cartridge, and not having any alternative except buying another printer, I join the chorus! What are you doing to fix this serious and disappointing deficiency?

I have tried less inexpensive alternatives to OEM cartridges and none of them were truly any savings considering the loss of performance and sheer frustration that comes with the reduced quality, my experience at least. I am pleased that HP offers the XL cartridges, however home printing has priced itself, in general, into the "convenience" category as far as I'm concerned, as I can have pictures and documents printed professionally for less than I can print them myself. So far, HP continues to give me decent quality options for all the times when I need to print something myself.

I am very disappointed in this product produced by a company for whom I had much respect. My computers and printers all USED to be HP. My last 2 laptops were not and my next printer won't be. I print a lot of instructions for online work I do and find my all in one printer expensive to use. The ink drains in no time. The print quality is good but for my purposes I need a cartridge that produces loads of copies. My old HP printer did better. Progress should be a move forward - not backwards. I'm seriously considering dumping this machine in favor of one that is more economical.
