Customer Ratings & Reviews

HP printer is great when it works. However, when the ink cartridges still have 10-15% of ink left, the printer will not print an acceptable page. Sometimes it will stop printing all together. Costly ink that will not work now in their rotten printer.

The cartridge did not work in my printer and I think it can take the xl

You have a great racket going. You cartridges are very, very expensive.

Not able to use the ink as it was dry when I opened it.

This particular Ink for my printer does not provide enough.

This is expensive printer cartridges and don't last

It is not working in my printer. I don't know why.

Ink did not last. Was not good color on print. Blurry.

Costs too much; not enough ink. We need lower prices, period.

Not much ink.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ink doesn't last long..............................

Best Buy always has the cart ages with low prices.

have a new full cartridge & black is not printing!

Wish I had bought a different printer. Hate this one.

I included a purchase of an HP 564-XL Black Ink Cartridge along with my order of a new Hewlett Packard Photo-Smart model 6520 Inkjet Printer. It was my rather insistent request to the salesman that an extended-life inkjet cartridge be the only type included in my order, not the standard. From experience, I've learned to buy those which yield extended amounts of ink, since most inkjet printers use lots of ink and require ink replacements on a fairly frequent basis. The higher yielding cartridges, generally, are more convenient and end up as somewhat less expensive than buying cartridges with a standard yield. Indeed, I've heard that the compatible model of printer is one of those which does consume ink quite rapidly. I suppose the 564-XL should contain a reasonably sufficient ink supply to last awhile, though I would've preferred if the higher yielding ink cartridge, which Hewlett Packard does make, had been available at Best Buy. The reason I chose black, not a different color or a combination of colors, is in recognition that my use of wireless printing is primarily of documents requiring black ink, and, therefore, my need for extra black ink would be the priority. Further, the fact that my printing needs are seldom of colorful text or of pictures is a principle reason for my choice of inkjet printer model 6520, as this model printer has superior quality resolution on black printing in comparison to multi-colored printing. Since the printer comes equipped with small cartridges of black and various colors, I've not as yet had an opportunity to find how long this extended yield cartridge will actually last, yet this series ink cartridge is compatible with this particular model printer and purchasing it seems to be sensible. In brief, while I've indicated reasons for purchasing this ink cartridge, it's a necessary product compatible with another necessary product.

I would purchase this cartridge again it provides great copies and lots of them.

I was not sure about purchasing a printer that had to have 4 print cartridges because of the cost. So far I've been very happy with the low usage of ink and the printer. Still using the trial cartridges that came with the printer, but purchased the extras to have on hand. Glad I did the price was great and I don't have to worry about running out of ink because I have extra on hand. I like the 3 colors being bundled together, just can't understand why they don't put black in with it. Maybe they will in the future. Coming from a print background it's great that they have made the 4 colors separate, makes for best quality of printing of everything, just like having a small 4 color printing press at home!

Too expensive for an item that runs out of ink after very few copies,

I like this ink because its affordable & available in an XL printing capacity. It's easy to install and provides good color.

We have gone through the initial 564 SetUp ink tanks supplied with the Photosmart 6520 printer and are satisfied with the print quality. The cartridges are easy to load and print until completely empty. Have had no ink related problems so far with the printer. The black ink produces crisp black text for documents, but does not produce deep rich blacks in photographs. Perhaps you need a more advanced HP printer such as the 7520 which has a separate Photo Black ink cartridge for photographs.
