    Really should have purchased refillable ink copier. Just too expensive and not environmentally sound approach using cartridges.

    While these cartridges produce full, even, and vivid color, their overall output is quite disappointing. Sometimes they are nearly empty after very few rounds of printing. They are far too expensive to be producing so few printed pages before running out.

    Excessively over priced. Not even enough ink to print 50 pages worth work. Will buy a refill in the future.

    Initially upon receiving I thought it was going to be a good deal due to the amount of colors available but I had only printed like 2-3 papers and the printer reported the ink levels to be only half way after the installation of the new cartridge. I am only giving a few stars because the printer only chooses to accept these cartridges

    It's ink, it never lasts long enough. Get a laserjet and save money

    What’s the point in leaving out the second black

    I’m stuck with having to pay twice because this package didn’t come with the extra black cartridge that my printer requires before I can use it again. I’m also a dummy for electronics so I’m sure I overlooked this somewhere.

    the cartridges dry up, or somehow evaporate, too fast. Within one year, I have changed the cartridges 3 times for a total of less than 100 pages printed (most of them are black/white). I'm not happy with my printer/cartridges (including the XL ones)

    The ink cartridges were loose in the box with paper stuffing. One of the ink covers was off and ink was all over the place. When I opened it I got ink all over me and my desk.

    These cartridges don't last very long. The standard capacity cartridges are very sparse, and must be replenished frequently.

    The magenta ink was empty despite not having printed color. Paying for nothing doesn't sit well. Not happy.
