Customer Ratings & Reviews

Only bright spot is that the package came with paper.

After ordering online and receiving the ink, it was already expired so had to return it.

Totally ruined my printer! For the price of this ink I couldn't believe it did this!! Had purchase several times & this time I recieved a defective one & paid quit a price :(

You should not put all these toner in one PK. Do not need picture paper this many. You did have the single toner of each color, then what happen.

Why would you sell a customer expired ink cartridges? Poor quality control

Two of the cartridges came only 25% full. Blue and black. It sort of defeats the purpose.

Received 1 month before it expired. Defective and leaked.

Horrible. 2 of the cartridges were rejected by my printer as invalid.

Item returned. WAY too expensive. Printer is now obsolete.

Haven't used my printer need to know if I could take it back

Black cartridge did not work and had to buy a replacement!

This Hp ink is not water proof. I suggest you do not use.

I love the ink cartridges and the ease of installation. The price is a really great value for what you get. Paper is good quality. The whole package is reasonable and gives you great quality pictures on the HP Photosmart 8250 printer. I will use nothing else. If the price goes up, so what, I'll still keep buying the package deal as long as it is available. I usually buy 2 packages at a time but there have been times when I have purchased 3-4 packages. I always use them before they expire. We take alot of pictures and I am quite happy with their quality.

Pros: Free shipping and you can save $20 when you purchase two. When I purchased this item in January the total came to $63.58 with tax, that's $31.79 per ink pack. I found this to be the best price for the product. Cons: This ink is pricy. I like the printer though and ink in general is pricy for all-in-one printers. The photo value pack does present a lower price, but it is intended to give you enough ink for the 150 photos. I am not sure if it would be worth it to shell out the extra arm and a leg for the ink cartridges with higher ink content. You can expect to pay around $100 for all six individual cartridges. For now, I'm happy with this buy.

This does indeed look a great deal, half the price of buying seperate inks and photo paper! However, it is intended to print basically the number of photo papers included. This is wonderful for someone who occassionally needs to print a batch of photos, but not good for everyday printing. Comparing the HP printers to Epson, Canon, and Kodak, the HP's certainly give the best quality. I MUCH prefer the Advance photo paper, and that is actually what is recommended. The Premium paper takes a while to dry, and has that annoying tear off tab (because it does take a while to dry). This value pack contains a lot less black than typical, and very little light magenta and cyan. In fact, a full light cyan and magenta will last for many hundreds of prints. I tend to buy yellow first, then black. But in a year with heavy printing, I've only replaced these a few times. The ink does smear when wet, however. Of course a laser is better for printing labels that will be exposed to weather, but I would hope a photograph won't be getting wet.

This is a great value. The paper is the advanced photo paper. It is not the top of their line of paper but the quality is still really good even for framing photos. I specifically bought a printer that has the 02 individual ink. The ink alone in this package is half the price of the ink from my last printer plus you get 150 sheets of 4x6 photo paper.

They do have less ink than the standard cartidges and HP support does suck these days but the Advanced paper gives decent results. You can get better quaility with their premium paper but this takes about 1-2 minutes where the Advanced paper prints in about 15 seconds and dries almost instantly and is more water resistant. HP no longer makes printers that use these 02 cartridges and that's a shame because they are the most economical. Its the only ink tank that has 2 holes, when it does a cleaning is puts most of the ink back in the tank instead of squirting it on a sponge. I have never had a clogged nozzle in over 3 years. Epson printers clog in the showroom!

This is a great deal for the combo pack. HP ink is always the best to use in your HP printers, so you can't go wrong with this pack at the price.

This seemed like a 'great' price at the time. Only to get home and find out that the ink cartridges contained less ink that thought. The ink cartridges were believed to be full sized ones(I asked an Associate), same as the ones in just the multi-pak(w/o the 4x6 paper), but as I found out online, the set I bought had less ink. I found out that when you buy the kit with paper, the ink cartridges hold enough ink to print out that amount of paper. Now I know, and I hope the Associates at your store will know this too. It was still a very good deal.....just not as good as originally thought.

I have had my HP Photosmart C5180 All-in-One Printer for nearly 6 years and I have never had a problem with it. I always use HP ink and have never had to buy additional 4x6 photo paper. I print photos all the time, to send to relatives. The colors are vibrant and the quality of the prints is wonderful.
