My printer monitor advised my color inks were getting low, however I mistakenly ordered a black ink. Always good to have a back up. My second order which was delivered so quickly was the color inks. I changed two of the colors and am very satisfied with how my copies look.
I only use HP Inks, really, I can only use HP Inks! Unit will not work well, if at all, with clones refills and cheaper offerings. But then again, I don't mind having to use HP. It's easy, convenient, and really, not much more expensive than other brands, and the ink cartridge is always reliable and performs well. I have several brands of Printers and Multi-function machines. My HP Officejet Pro 8615 with HP ink cartridges is one less "darn" machine I need to worry about!
I have printed a ream of paper since I got my ink and it is showing very little usage of ink so far. I have a lot of printing to do and will be keeping my eye on this cartridge to see how much it prints for me.
I bought this cartridge to replace another 950XL i bought TWO YEARS AGO. We do a fair bit of printing and copying in our house and I thoroughly believe we were able to get over 2000 copies out of this cartridge.
I purchase the XL because it states you get more pages out of it but you don't. I don't do a lot of color but I would still expect to get somewhere near what it says you should get as far as copies. This is true for all the XL Ink Cartridges, Black and Color..
