does this product work with the HP photosmart C3180 printer or does the ink smear too easily? Same question for the HP Officejet 3700? The sheets that I have available to me don't dry -- the ink comes off with any type of contact.

Not being there it is difficult to say about the ink smear. Normally I get my paper from WalMart next to the computer section. Georgia Pacific puts out papers made for the InkJets. I prefer the 24 pound weight paper over the 20 pound weight though it is probably a couple of bucks more expensive. Less hassle, paper absorbs the ink better and it has a decent brightness on it. You will have to look up which HP inks work with your printers. Normally HP provides software to tell you that information on the disk that comes with the computer. I normally do not use recycled ink even though it is cheaper. I find that there are very few bargains put out by HP on ink cartridges. Sam's Club has package deals that are better. Personally I use an 8600 deskjet and it uses 950/951 cartridges. I find it to be a pain to keep changing cartridges so I normally get the XL ones that have the extra ink. My other printer uses 564xl cartridges. The office jets hold more ink and last longer. The 309A photo printer I use strictly for quality printer and not production. HP is greedy. They quit making a triple quantity XL for the office jet because it lasts too long. Personally I think they need to have their heads examined. The greatest attraction to me is cheap ink, cheap but quality printer, and low overhead on everything. Our family could easily wear out a printer if the ink was reasonable. I considered one of the newer laser printers for that reason. Haven't upgraded to one yet. I think the laser cartridges are way too expensive for the average home.

Hello!I print my own cards and I have two printers that I have used to print cards using this card stock. I have a Hewelett Packard (HP) Officejet Pro 8500 (it's the older of my two printers) and a Canon MG 6220. actually, both printers do a fine job of printing using this card stock. (I make all of my cards for Birthday's, get well, etc.) I love doing it and this card stock works very nicely. Betsy

Oh my I had the opposite problem! I was getting the ink system failure message before which made me consider a new printhead. I didn't know Amazon had them so I've ordered a new printer. Since it didn't help you maybe it wouldn't work for me. The reason for my problem-using remanufactured non OEM ink, the black cartridge was leaky. I thought it would be alright after wiping off and I did print some pgs. The problem was when I tried again about a month later..that's when I got the "ink system failure" msg and nothing I did took it away!

Yes. Mine has worked great. Previously bought an off brand and had to toss it, I had a line through the paper, used it for about a year for unimportant jobs and then finally bought this one. Printer works like new.

I'm not sure, you might call their customer service line. I have an HP, different model, and have had no problem with the re-manufactured ink. Dee

I have the c3180 and had no problems with ink smearing. The transparency paper has one side that feels smooth and the other side is slightly rough. I laud out my designs to dry, just in case but was very rough after that. I used them for a home screen-printing machine.

Mine has always worked great. I don't press down hard, but I never get extra ink. Can't speak for them all but so far so good on this one.

My new printer has not printed even one decent photo. They have all been very low quality and I am starting to think my printer is defective in that respect as HP usually does such a good job with photos. Regular printing is very good.

Good morning, David! I notice that if I continually use the printer, the ink is used normally but if it sits for any length of time (e.g. week, weeks, months) than the ink dries up! The ink may be inexpensive but so much of it is wasted! I also don't like that if the color ink runs out the printer shuts down. I will not purchase another printer like this, inexpensive or not! Good luck!

It will smear with laser printers if you don't let it dry. Using with inkjet printers would probably be a giant mess.

I have a HP Photosmart 5520; the black worked but the others shut down the printer.It said they were start up cartriges and could not be used again.

I suggest you scroll down below the product and check the list to see if your printer's model is listed there and if it does then I would say buy it. You can't go wrong with this offer even if you only get a couple of refills from the HP cartridge. I've refilled my cartridges so many times for HP Photosmart C4680 that the cartridge I think is very worn so now I have to get a new one and as soon as it is done I will go back to refilling again. You can't go wrong with this deal at all. Blessings!

My printer does not identify this ink either. I just went into the printer ink settings and deactivated ink monitoring. It works has worked fine since I did this except for when I had a power outage. Then I had to take the cartridge out and put it back in for it to work again. The ink monitoring thing on these printers is a real pain. They try to make it so you have to buy exclusively from them. Just deactivate it.

I got one of these for my landlady who's ancient Ricoh laser stopped working. I myself have an HP Color LaserJet. The quality produced by her Epson is "better" than my LaserJet ... so much so that I've been considering replacing the LaserJet. Inkjet technology has come an awfully long way since it was first introduced.

Can only say it worked for my Canon 4890 (4800 series) with very nice print output but POOR ink supply in moderate use lasting about a month or less on each of 2 cartridges so far. To be cost effective I have just ordered aftermarket cartridges from Amazon. The 4890 is otherwise fine but I do not think I would order one again. I previously had a Hewlett Packard 2840 printer which had a far superior cartridge life for about the same price if I remember correctly but HP's support and manual were awful re trouble shooting a major malfunction. Sorry I cannot answer your question specifically. Email Canon for info. They have always been a very good company.

I have an HP LaserJet 4000TN (black & White). Doesn't smudge. InkJet might.

I did not have any luck with this product. Just did not work well with my HP Officejet All-In-One printer. I have stopped trying remanufactured ink cartridges. I tried several brands with no success. I have had real success with the InkTec Refill Kit for HP Printers purchased at Amazon. This refill kit works great, provided I use a relatively newer HP cartridge. Perhaps InkTec has a refill kit that will work for your printer.
