They say if something is too good to be true, it probably isn't (true, that is). This item falls into that category. The 150 sheets of glossy paper, alone, are probably worth the purchase price. To get a full set of 6 ink cartridges with it, worth over $70, was an unbelievably good value - or so I thought. Not long after I inserted the magenta cartridge, I got an error message indicating I had inserted a used cartridge, even though I had taken it from a sealed package. It was out of ink in about 1/4 the normal time, requiring a quick return to the store buy another one. I had the same problem with a couple of the other cartridges as well.
To be completely fair, I would again like to point out that the paper alone was probably worth the purchase price. The fact that ink cartridges were included at all is definitely a bonus, and at least 3 may have been full. This is great package if you just want to print a few pictures. But if, like me, you buy this package hoping to get a $70 set of ink cartridges at half price with glossy paper as a bonus, you may be disappointed. To avoid disappointment, make sure you have extra ink cartridges as a backup.
What's great about it: Well worth the purchase price
What's not so great: Ink cartridges may not be full
