HP 940 | Ink Cartridge | Black | C4902AN | DISCONTINUED BY MANUFACTURER

I also suspected that these cartridges were refills since they did not come in a box and they were sold by DVD Ink refills. The cartridges do have the original HP wrapper and the label on the wrapper has the word "new" on it. I have sent an e-mail to DVD Ink refills asking if these are refills. If they are refills, I will come back and change my rating. If not, my 5 stars stands because the price was $7 less expensive than ordering direct from HP.Followup. The vendor DVD Ink refills, replied to my e-mail within a couple of hours their message says "Thank you for contacting us. These are new genuine HP ink cartridge, not refilled or remanufactured. They are not in retail HP boxes, but are sealed in HP OEM packaging and hold warranty with HP through their expiration dates. Please let me know if you have any other questions I can help you with."Because of this communication I would award six stars for excellent customer service.

Received ink cartridge between end of Aug & early Sep in its original HP packaging as pictured with a very short expiration date of Oct 22, 2014. HP would not honor its warranty as the ink expires. If you have no issue with short expiration date, then it is a good buy. So far this black ink prints fine vs the generic & expired ink, which caused some lines printed only partially the upper part of the letters, thus, render unreadable full letters. HP claimed the expired ink or generic ink cause this phenomenon. I hope the same issue won't re-start when the ink expires next week.

I go through a lot of printer cartridges and they are so expensive. I ran across an advertisement that Amazon had.I decided to purchase one because the price was half the cost from what stores sell them at. I have been using itfor a few weeks and I have had no problems at all. I will purchase again.

Well, there isn't much you can do about ink cartridges since every printer has its own special cartridge. I chose to buy authentic HP ink because the refills were only $5 cheaper. I did come to realize that I could have purchased the XL version of this same ink. I wasn't aware that it fit in my printer as well (I was under the impression that it fit a similar model of this printer.) Anyway, item was as expected and works in the printer. What more can you ask for? [...]

HP inks and cartridges have been flawless for me for 15 years. I would never switch to any other printer type. I switch to economy printing for most printing and it seems like the cartridges last forever, even more pages than they are rated for. If I photo print they go much quicker but not unreasonably so.

but printer refill cartridges are way too expensive. Once you replace all of the colors 3 times, you could have just bought a new printer! HP's are one of the more expensive ones.But, it is exactly what was described and what I was after when I bought it.

HP inkjet is tooooo expensive and does not last long.. they need to re-vamp the whole printer and ink

It does the job, but the issue I have is that the picture clearly shows it is an HP cartridge, in an HP Box, it is not, it looks like it is from one of thoseink refilling companies. If fits and works in my printer, however, a prompt shows up indicated that I am not using an original HP cartridge and need to change it, I can bypass the prompt, but it is annoying...

Great price here at Amazon!

Better than I expected.
