HP 67XL Black Ink (3YM57AN#140)

The product info claims that each cartridge is good for 240 pages, but in my experience (having gone through 3 or 4 of them), it's probably 100 at most, maybe 75. I would strongly advise against buy a printer that requires this ink cartridge - we had an older HP printer for many years that used a different cartridge, and we were replacing it maybe three time a year. This one lasts a month under our standard use. Also, you might notice that it is frequently out of stock, which makes me think this is a systemic problem - they can't make them fast enough to keep up with normal printer usage by their customers.

When I inserted this new cartridge into the printer it caused it to malfunction. I didn’t even know what the error message was until I looked it up and it said it was due to the cartridge. I even took the printer home to my dad to see if he could fix it and he couldn’t. I had to buy a new cartridge from a different store and when I did that the printer worked just fine. It was exact same type of cartridge so I know I got the right one the first time. I don’t print that often so by the time I discovered the faulty one it was too late to return it. Kinda sucks because it makes it feel like it was my fault, but the online store sent me the bum cartridge in the first place. Oh well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cartridges purchase dwere XL versions and I don't think they come close to estimate of 200 plus copies. I don't know how to see how many copies my printer has made but I am only a casual printer and in two months since printer purchase I am on my second set of XL cartridges. Delivery took ten days so I was out ink for a week. The upside as the print quality was excellent.
