HP CC641EE 300XL High Yield Original Ink Cartridge, Black, Single Pack

great for general printing

Does what it says on the package.

Bought it for our printer and it gave a good print.

Came quickly, but the cartridge box looked rather worse for wear. I received a colour cartridge in a separate package at the same time and that was fine. This box looks like it's second hand?!Hoping this doesn't mean it's an old cartridge and dried up!Can't review the use yet as not used.

I had a paper jam on two densely printer pages that i had set to print to edges beyond the safe zone. Regretted this silly decision when everything locked up solid. Clearing the jam wrecked an almost empty “clone” cartridge so i put in a new clone, it was a brand that I’ve used for about 4 years with no problem. The quality was so bad (fuzzy) i thought i had vision problems at first. After trying everything to clean, align, improve resolution on my HP Envy I thought that i had probably damaged the printer beyond repair but before i gave up I decided to buy the inordinately expensive genuine hp cartridge. Ho hum it worked perfectly and quality is back to what it was before my stupidity. Not yet decided what to do next time i need to renew the cartridge but it was an interesting lesson that I thought worth sharing.

Can only buy this on Amazon. Print quality is good. Easy to install. Will buy again.

Several years ago I decided that I should try a supermarket's own-brand of ink for my HP PHOTOSMART printer, and that's where I made a mistake. The quality and performance was terrible, and potentially damaged the machine.It was a false economy to buy non-HP consumables, and I never repeated the trial.In buying original HP INK, like this product, you are guaranteed a density of colour, accuracy of hue and total compatibility that will not damage your machine. The XL (extra large capacity version) is superb in delivering a substantial amount of high quality printouts, whether photos or simple paper documents.Will I change from HP again? No, it's not worth it just to save a few pounds in the short-term.

I'm really only writing this because Amazon sent me an email requesting a review.It's an ink cartridge. The ink looks good on paper. I'm hugely impressed with the way I can read things I've printed using this ink cartridge :) That said, the five stars are for functionality. Ink jet ink, as I'm sure you know, is a huge rip off. The HP printer I'm using now, cost me just £5 more than the new ink cartridge I wanted (but wasn't in stock) for my other perfectly good printer and it came with ink and I was in a rush. However, new printer software is rubbish and stopped my HP scanner from working. So I've gone from being a huge Hewlett Packard fan to 'I wouldn't touch their kit unless you gave it to me'. So 1 star for cost, 5 stars for ink that does what ink is supposed to do and 0 stars for HP.
