HP - 63XL High-Yield Ink Cartridge - Black

I use my printer a lot for work so I purchased the XL ink cartridge with my new printer immediately knowing I would need it once the demo ink ran out. However, once I went to install it right out of the package it would not work. My printer would not recognize the ink cartridge, which was made for the HP printer. It kept giving me an error as if I installed it incorrectly (which I did not). It wouldn't even read the color ink which still had ink available. I had to install the empty ink cartridge just to be sure I didn't mess things up. I'm not sure if they gave me recycle ink or what, but I'm definitely taking it back. The printer companies want you to recycle their ink, but then the recycled ink never seems to work with the printers. It's horrible!!!

The whole reason I got the HP OfficeJet 4650 was because I looked into the price of ink before I got it. Little did I know that the XL ink cartridges last a very long time. I'm in college so I am constantly printing and its always 10-20 pages at a time. I got the XL ink cartridge about a month ago and I've printed on it a good 5-6 days a week and it says I still have 97% left. My old printer had me buying a new cartridge twice a month sometimes even three times a month. (don't buy anything that says cannon on it, its garbage.) So if you print a lot, get yourself the HP OfficeJet 4650 and a XL ink cartridge, you won't be disappointed.

This is first time I actually bought the XL version of an HP ink cartridge. So far it's okay. But it just reminds me of how HP cartridges use to work. I remember that a standard cartridge would last for an entire ream of paper. Now, you have to buy an XL cartridge for that same level of performance, but at a much higher price. So, HP's price-performance ratio has declined significantly in my eyes, and is making me look at other companies, particularly for monochrome printing. Still had a great experience at Best Buy purchasing this item, and found representatives to be very helpful. I was satisfied with the purchase because I was able to get this item on sale.

Tired of replacing your ink cartridges so often? Look no further, this XL cartridge from HP is the solution to all your worldly troubles. With all that extra ink you will save time on trips to the store to buy more! Who knows what you could accomplish with that new found time. Take up a new hobby, volunteer at the local animal shelter, pursue dreams of global domination (looking at you Carl). I'm not here to judge, just to help you find the best ink around!

The XL High-Yield Ink Cartridge contains much more ink than the standard size cartridge, so it lasts much longer. Since the #63 series of ink is used in the HP ENVY printer, which is a popular printer sold by Best Buy, we hope that the Stroudsburg store will start to stock the 63 cartridges. It's a nuisance to have to order these online, and we do not want to subscribe to auto-delivery. The Dickson City PA store stocks these, but not the Stroudsburg store, and Dickson City is too way far to drive just to buy ink!

It's well known that ink cartridges are priced so sky high the manufacturers might as well give consumers the printers gratis. I took the plunge to upgrade to even more expensive XL series. So far, installation was a snap, and print quality is fine; but I'm still waiting to see if cartridge delivers the page yield as claimed. At that point I've promised myself to consider jumping higher and perhaps try out HP's Easy Ink subscription program. Prices like these can break you even if you aren't a heavy user.

The cartridge is the one I need for my printer so there was really no decision as to which one to purchase. I do like the amount of information that is on Best Buy. com for purchases like this when I do need to make a decision between products. The product ordering process was easy and I completed it quickly. I used a reward coupon for some of the price and that was easy to do also. The product arrived in two days with free shipping so that was very nice too.

I purchased this cartridge in the hopes that it will allow me to print more than 50 pages. I have been buying the regular cartridges which claim to print 400 pages in black ink and it doesn't ever come near to that. I have printed about 110 pages so far using this cartridge and the quality is still good. I haven't checked how much ink is left but hope I can triple that amount at the very least. I will probably get another one once this runs out.
