Myth #1: Remanufactured cartridges always save you money? Is this HP propaganda? http://h30458.www3.hp.com/us/us/smb/t... "the high price of poor reliability and print quality, non-HP toner cartridges can actually cost up to 10% more than Original HP...

Always save money? YES. I have been using remanu'd or third party ink for years, and never had a problem with any of them from different sellers. When you see someone complain about leaks, they are generally not careful. I handle it gently, and the printer works just fine. Yes, HP inks work always - but $20 vs $50 is why I don't always buy HP ink. I like it - but it is way overpriced.

This is an original, although I've bought the refilled cartridges with Amazon offers which are not made by HP and they work quite well and last longer than the 85A's but the print quality is not as good, it's lighter, but still adequate and much cheaper than the original cartridges.

I have the same printer, although it is now several years old, and that is the ink cartridge I have been using. I have priced both Amazon and HP; the pricing is very similar.

I long ago replaced this printer with another HP all-in-one printer that has more features and has served me well for many years. My assumption about a warranty would be "no" unless the seller specifically offers one. I believe Amazon offers some protection if the item is not as described (i.e., no defects listed but the item does not function properly upon delivery). In that case, you may have some recourse. However, unless return shipping is covered, shipping this monster back to the seller is likely to cost more than the refund you might receive. In my view, with printers, you're better off buying a new one, preferably locally. Most printer costs are not in the hardware, but rather in the replacement toner and ink cartridges -- and that will be just as true for a used printer as a new one, which is usually discounted heavily to entice you into buying ink later. Why put yourself at risk? Hope this helps.

it is oem (ORIGINAL) not remanufactured or "no frills" brand. I tried that one time and I'll never do that again. the toner started to run and bleed on the paper and that affected the drum. It's just not worth it.

I do not sell the printer, I bought one three years ago. I have had no problems with the printer. It is very reliable and has many capabilities not found on more expensive machines. The machine will say it is low on toner long before the cartridge needs to be replaced. Simply remove the cartridge from the machine, rock it back and forth and side-to-side, then reinstall it. I do not replace cartridges until the copies start getting too light.

I have a hp6300 photo smart all in one printer and have printed out over 6000 pages on it according to the print counter. I have never had any problems with these 564xl black. I think they give me about 400 copies but if I set the printer to economy I get lots more. I rarely do this though. I stick with the genuine HP brand and not the refilled ones. I have had problems with them as they lots of times leak or won't start. Pay the difference and get quality. You won't be cussing your decision to go cheap. Life aint worth it.Chuck in Montana

Yes but it is not recommended for at least three reasons off the top of my head. 1. Different refilling services will use different types of formulations for their dry ink powder. This can be a hit/miss situation with regards to quality. 2. If it is a "miss", there's the potential that it may damage your printer which leads me to thought number.... 3. Warranty. If for some reason your 3rd party toner supplier provides you with a bad or faulty cartridge or dry ink media, you will no be able to have HP repair you printer under their warranty protection. Bottom line. Technically speaking, yes, it can be done but it would be a gamble. If you want to take a chance, at least wait till the warranty expires.

When I installed one of these remanufactured ink cartridges in my Epson XP 810 and closed the lid I got a warning message telling me the cartridge installed was not OEM and that the use of non OEM cartridges might effect my warranty, did I want to continue to use the non OEM cartridge. I clicked yes and things went along as normal from there. Ink works well at half the price. Works for me.

I've heard also that remanufactured ink voids the warrenty and then I've heard that the printing companies are not allowed to void our warranties because of which ink we choose to use. In my opinion, it does not matter either way. Todays printers are relatively cheap so if it comes to my printer malfunctioning because of my choice to use remanufactured ink, then so be it. At that point, I would just purchase another printer instead of dealing with Hewlett Package. We are only talking about a little over $100 to purchase another printer. The same price of what I would pay for their genuine ink if I was brave enough to spend that kind of money on ink. Until that time, I will use remanufactured ink without any worries, concerns, thoughts, or even feeling guilty of using third party ink. I have been using remanufactured ink for over a year. In order for me to buy genuine ink, I would have to be forced against my will to make that type of purchase. Never again!!!!!!! Don't be hesitant cause you have nothing to loose, only $$$$$ to gain.

I had started to use refurbished cartridges on my last printer/scanner/fax/copier which was a total workhorse and had never had an issue when I used new cartridges. After my second round of refurbished cartridges, there were clogs, spreading ink/toner and in general, poor copies. The machine then clogged and broke and could not be rehabilitated. Since I have purchased the new HP, I will only use new cartridges. I paid too much money for this machine to take that chance and the production in phenomenal, particularly with the XL cartridges. Your choice. Good luck.

Kind of hard for me to answer as I have it for home use, I have used both the HP version and also refilled cartridges offered on Amazon and have been satisfied with each purchase. Seems like the do last for a decent period of time. Sorry could not give a better answer.

I can only assume you mean "non OEM". Which means this is a re-manufactured cartridge (refilled with ink). I have used these cartridges (T127 5-pk) with good results from supplier Toner Clinic. I hope this helps.

I never look at that. Besides, a cartridge can last a long time in a printer anyway. Its a genuine HP cartridge and works great.

I have bought ink from Amazon, Amazon vendors as well as office supply companies. They all come in HP boxes, but I wouldn't know how to tell if they were genuine HP toner unless I check the pop up box which allows HP to check if it is genuine which I NEVER check and is a super annoying pop up. Good luck. Let me know if you get a definite answer.

I'd say you're probably in the 3-5% group of defective toner cartridges. The failure rate on a name brand toner is around 1%, so 1 in every 100 or so fail, leave streaks on the page, or will not work. The failure rate in remanufactured cartridges increases that rate to 1 in every 20-35 cartridges or so. I'd return it, and either ask for a replacement or a refund.

No. I've used V4Ink and Monoprice cartridges and they just dump toner all over the page. I'm just going to buy a new printer since it's cheaper than buying new (though higher capacity) toner cartridges. I really wish printer companies would stop this silly "starter toner" BS and just sell printers with regular cartridges.
