HP 363 Series Photo Value Pack, 150 Sheets/10 x 15 cm, Black/Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Light Cyan/ Light Magenta, Multipack

An excellent product but it would be a lot simpler just to be able to buy individual colours or photo paper as and when the need arises, but it's far too expensive. Thus I buy the full cartridge pack and paper, resulting in having so many photos cards that I end up donating them to the local school. I also end up with dozens of pink and blue cartridges left over because for some reason they don't get used up very quickly. I have no idea what to do with these, so I give them to charity shops or put the in the cartridge recycling bins at PC World. There must be millions of these that people son't want. Surely there's a better way? Can I get a discount, HP, if I collect them all up and return them to you?

This covers all you'll need to get a run-out-of-ink printer going again, as it's got all the replacement inks in. It's cheaper than buying the inks individually, but I really don't know why. Pretty pointless sticking all that photo paper in there, as there's never going to be enough ink to print out 150 photos in those piddling little cartridges. I just don't get why you can't buy the individual cartridges, or a full replacement set, for a few quid cheaper on their own. Or even the same price, but slightly bigger cartridges so they last longer! Better for the environment, and better for my pocket. I've already got a stack of unused photo paper from these kits.Does the job, but is really frustrating that HP don't do a "just ink" kit for a sensible price as well.

Much better value than individual inks, As others have said though it would be better to get the value pack cheaper without the 'free' paper. I have bought a few of these and although the HP blurb says it is the right amount of each ink in each cartridge (each one holds a different amount) to print out the 150 cards supplied, it never is. I always run out of 1 or 2 inks long before the paper runs out. I have started giving away packs of paper now I have so much even though I print most of my colour pages on this 10 x 15 cm stuff.Buy this, but you may need to buy the odd Cyan cartridge to keep it topped up till you need another pack.

I have just replaced a cartridge in my printer using the first of a "new" pack of these and the out of date warning has come up. I don't really expect to be sold out of date stock through Amazon so I hadn't checked it when it arrived. It will still work, but every time I turn my printer on I will have to deal with this warning. Too late to expect a reaction from the suppliers (IJT Direct via Amazon), as I bought the pack a couple of months ago, when I replaced a previous cartridge. I always order new cartridges when I replace one so I'm not left unable to print. I advise you to check the date on receipt,as I will be doing in future!I have had several of these packs in the past and found them excellent value. In common with another reviewer I would like to be able to purchase this product without the paper.

As I am very happy with my HP C5180 printer I am committed to its wellbeing! Needed this and a sister cartridge, Cyan light, and these were ordered at the same time. Order processing & delivery were good and I like the idea of a recycling envelope being sent too as this certainly encourages one to recycle using free post. As with other manufacturer approved ink products though, one wonders why such products are so pricey if the actual cartridges themselves can be recycled quite easily. One would think that the actual ink costs are more akin to the likely cost of Unicorn urine (if available!)

Ink delivered on time (next day), had long expiry date which was useful as not required immediately. I find Original HP ink, although expensive (x2 to x3 compatible ink) never fails and the printer can check the chip and give proper status report. Compatibles are okay but I have had 2 different brands fail and replacement is a hassle. Also, the printers refuse to talk to the chips on the compatible cartridges so status reports are unavailable - for unattended print runs, this is not good in case the ink were to run out.

This is what I ordered and it's a good product, but with original ink cartridges being so expensive I wish there was an easy way of knowing how much ink each cartridge contains. Some reviewers suggest that similar catridges may contain more ink (if purchased separately, rather than in a multi-pack, for example) - I don't know if that's true, so it's difficult to know if this was good value or not. I must admit, I'd rather not have the 'free' photo paper and save a bit more money.

I was impressed with the speed of delivery and packaging used by the seller. The only downside to buying cheaper ink over the Internet is down to HP, not the seller. I get an error message saying the ink is out of warranty as the ink in this set was manufactured a few years ago. As far as I know, you don't get new combo packs. The photo paper has been a great investment and I have printed off various photos. I would buy ink here again.
