HP 65 Tri-Colour Ink Cartridge

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this when I needed to change printers (my old one kind of gave up) and I couldn't find the tricolor ink cartridge that came with the HP printer, but really needed to do some printing. As luck would have it, I found the original cartridge, so this one is basically a spare for when the ink runs out (usually in the middle of the night). What I particularly liked was that I was able to purchase this at a much lower price than any of the other dealers out there. If the original color cartridge is any indication, this cartridge will be up to HP's excellent standards.

The printer screen reads, cartridge error re-insert cartridge. after cleaning the contacts and trying to get help from the virtual agent I was directed to an HP blog which unveiled many people having the same issue. The printer will still print black with the the new black cartridge and the old empty color cartridge installed but the new color cartridge will not work. I really don't want to risk buying a new color cartridge not knowing if that one will work or not, so I'll stick to printing black only. Printers were better before they were controlled remotely.

This is a color ink cartridge for HP printers which does get the job of printing your documents or photos at a very acceptable level. Since it is a cartridge manufacturer for a specific HP printer I am unaware of any third party supplier which can be used as a substitute. Therefore you’re pretty much obligated to purchase it if you want to print. I would not consider doing the surgical injection transfusion or Instant Ink Contract which requires you to give your banking information. I will continue to purchase at the store.
