Just previous to inserting this ink into my printer, I inserted new red and yellow ink. Right after I changed the black, my printer told me the yellow ink was defective and needed to be replaced, so I replaced an almost new unit. I don't see the point of buying genuine HP ink if this happens.
After trying an off brand cartridge because it was cheaper, my printer didn't work well, had poor resolution and the colors were completely off. I purchased the HP ink and it was instantly back to high quality and true colors.
I have no choice but to buy these cartridges for my printer but I think they are way overpriced & don't last long enough for the price you have to pay.
