Hewlett Packard No. 10 Ink Jet Cartridge (Black)

Large cartridge of intense black pinting ink. Had no trouble installing and using. I consider it excellent value.

A "Smart" Inkjet Cartridge with Great Print Quality

2000-07-01
I have had inkjet printers and laser printers and other kinds too. But this is the first time I have had a printer that sports an ink cartridge that actually warns me in advance when it is getting low in ink! The software connected with the printer and ink cartridge will give you a message on your screen that your ink level is low, and even shows you a graphic picture of approximately how low it is, and tells you what will happen when the ink totally runs out (that is, it will stop printing altogether -- unlike other printers that continue to spit out blank pages). The print quality is great, and the cartridge seems to last a good long time. It is easy to replace and install. Who could ask for more?

the printer will not stop functioning when the ink expire. Would of did copy and paste here but amazon stops you from doing that some how.

Too finicky by half

2006-08-19
I am seconding the review below that complained about wasting ink. The printer quality is fine, the ink quality is fine. But the system by which the printer shuts down if the ink is "expired" is frustrating. Even if it is one of the color cartridges you cannot solely print in black and white. This leaves you having to reset the date on your computer to some past time in order to get your print jobs done. Obviously if you are doing a ton of printing and you will use every cartridge within a couple of months, this won't create the same level of problem (although I have had cartridges with 2007 expiry dates "expire" as far as the printer was concerned within a couple of months -- they are made by HP in India, I notice, so I suspect that quality control may have a few glitches -- but at these prices it is aggravating.)

This expiry system is such a poor feature that I can only give it a three. If they would remove this feature, it would be an easy five since the quality of the ink is quite good.

HP 10 ink Cartridge system

This would be good if you were using up all the ink in each cartridge at least every 9 months or so. If you print a lot of photos year-round it would be a good system. The problem HP built into this system is that the cartridges expire (and may not have much time on them when you buy them--and there is no marking on the box or unit to tell you the expiration date). If you knew that the cartridges had not been sitting around the store and the warehouse you might be ok. If even one of the colors has expired the printer gives an error message and WILL NOT PERMIT YOU TO PRINT. So the net result is YOU HAVE TO THROW AWAY HALF FULL CARTRIDGES!!! This eliminates any potential savings. There is a way to get around this by setting the date on your computer back so the printer thinks that the cartridges are not expired but this is tedious. The ink is still good and they could have simply given a warning and let the customer the right to decide if they wanted to change ink before it was used up. This might be good for a professional or serious amateur photographer. If you print occasionally and are trying to pinch pennies be warned that this printer will not save you money on ink.

Great printer, great supplies

This printer family is wonderful if you do a lot of printing. The printers are pretty costly, but because you can replace each color of ink separately, and replace the printing jet heads for each color separately also, you can save a lot on replacement supplies. These ink cartridges hold a *lot* of ink.

By comparison, with a lot of cheap printers, if the yellow runs out, or the holes in the magenta printing jet plug, you need a whole new cyan-yellow-magenta ink-and-jet cartridge -- and the cartridges usually hold very little ink.

This type of ink has excellent darkness range, from very faint gray to very high-contrast black. The color cartridges have great color range. Together, the overall color range is almost as good as a specialty "photo" printer, but the ink doesn't cost nearly as much. While it really looks great on fancy paper, it works well even on cheap paper...

This is a great printer and the ink cartridge system is tops - but this item is available elsewhere for much less. Amazon should do better than this.
