I have an HP printer for the past 5 or so years. I use it mostly as a scanner and probably print well under 100 pages per year. However, the cartridges still need to be replaced about 1-2 times per year (I think the printer dispenses ink periodically just to keep the printheads wet or clean or something along those lines.) Tired of paying upwards of $200 per year for ink on a printer that I never actually do much printing with I figured I'd finally try the non-HP ink. This particular product seemed to have the highest reviews so this is what i chose. Installing them was just as easy as an HP cartridge. The printer spit out some warning on the screen about using non genuine HP cartridges but after that seemed to work just fine. Ink levels were reported as full, running all the built in tests, calibrations, and clearing showed everything a-ok. Printing a few pages seems to be just fine also. I'm going to say we have a winner here! I didn't attempt compare the color saturation or quality or anything like that, as I mentioned I hardly every print much in the first place and wouldn't even care about that even if it were as issue. I can, however, report a fully working printer and a savings of over $80 vs buying genuine cartridges.7/5/17 update: Still all good. The printer prints just fine and there are no issues, errors, or problems of any kind.

I have plenty of original HP black 951XL ink cartridges, but my cyan 951XL cartridge ran out of ink and I had no replacement on hand. It's maddening that HP won't let me use my black cart to print if even 1 color cart is empty. It was not worth it to me to purchase a set of color 951XL carts to get the printer to work. I needed a cheaper, reliable alternative. I logged onto Amazon and saw excellent reviews for the IKONG ink carts. An entire set of XL carts, including the black, cyan, magenta, and yellow for about $18? Sold! I ordered the set and it arrived in 2 days (Thanks Amazon Prime!) and plugged in the cyan cartridge. The HP noted it was not a genuine cart. I clicked OK and the cart was accepted and it completed the new cart cycle. The status display showed a full amount of ink and I ran some test prints. They came out perfectly. The cyan ink from IKONG works like genuine HP for a tiny fraction of the price of original ink. Also, it should be noted that these are not, from what I can tell, re-manufactured cartridges. They are brand new compatible cartridges. They look similar to the originals but are shaped slightly different but install with no problem. Bottom line, the IKING cart worked and I can now print with the other original HP carts still left in my printer. What's not to love? If, and when, I try the other carts, as needed, I will update this review. In the meantime, I will enjoy the bargain ink from IKONG.

I bought this set for my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 which gets VERY light use at home; maybe five pages a week. I've owned the printer for years and this is the first time that I've needed to replace the ink if that gives you any idea of how light-duty my printer usage is. For the first couple of months, these cartridges printed just fine; the ink was definitely a bit lighter than the official HP cartridges, but still perfectly fine for my needs.I had a period of maybe three weeks where I didn't print anything at all... and that's apparently when the problems started. My first page after that break printed half blank and the rest looked quite faded. The second page was a bit darker and the third looked fairly normal.I basically had to "prime" the printer by printing a couple garbage pages first.Unfortunately, even that trick no longer works. Now all of the text looks faded and there are frequently sections where it seems to miss printing completely.A friend of mine who owns a copier repair/refurbishing company that also services printers examined the printer and said that the method used to seal the cartridges (a cheap little plastic window that looks like cellophane tape) does not allow for an air-tight seal. The poor seal resulted in ink leaking out (he showed me a LOT of leaked ink inside the printer) and air getting into the cartridges. Since I did not print very often, that air inside the cartridges allowed the ink in the needle valves to dry out, resulting in the faded printing and the streaking. His recommendation is to scrap the printer; repairing it will cost more than the printer is worth.Note to Seller: Please stop contacting me asking me to take down this negative review.

Work great!Bought these a few months ago for our HP printer. I was worried because of some of the reviews. We just finally had to replace our ink a couple of days ago (again, I was kind of worried that if they didn't work, we are stuck because we are past the return date from Amazon) but both the yellow and cyan inks work great!Before the return window was up, the manufacturer did contact us through Amazon to be sure that the cartridges worked with our printer. I never replied because we hadn't installed them yet. This makes me think that they want to provide good customer support in case the cartridges aren't working properly. Will definitely purchase these again!*************************************************Update - This company has EXCELLENT customer service! HP did one of their "updates" that made our last set of cartridges unusable. It actually made our entire printer/scanner/copier/fax completely UNUSABLE as long as the cartridges were installed! I had to install our original HP cartridges just to be able to use the scanner (What a JOKE HP!!) I contacted IKONG to see if there was a firmware update I could apply. This was on New Year's Day - they replied within a couple of hours ON A HOLIDAY! They sent new cartridges that arrived in less than a week! We now have a printer that works again! This level of customer service is nearly unheard of anymore - THANK YOU! As for HP - this will be the last HP printer we purchase! The last "update" made my mom's printer unusable as well and she pays $3 a month for the HP Ink program!

Excellent value, might not be quite so good a colour as the HP. but my general purpose needs is more than except-able.Printer didn’t like them at first.Will buy again rather than pay HP. Price at 300%!plus.So sad that HP. feels the need to gouge their clients on consumables.Is this Trumpium !!! Way of things.

These look well made, they fit perfectly, they look physically identical but my HP Officejet Pro 7720 absolutely refuses to accept them, error message comes up on the led screen telling you something's wrong and to reinstall the cartridges.

I had used another brand ( same price range) in the past,on 3 occasions with good results and I wanted to try this one , based on the large number of positive reviews. It was a mistake.The connector tabs were not secured to the cartriges and came off upon install. They fell into the printer .I managed to save the printer but the cartridges had to be returned.It could have been one of a small number of defective products but I will avoid this brand in the future.I bought another set of cartridges - the brand that I had used 2-3 times in the past that do work.

My yellow ink cartridge was empty so I tried this company and replaced the yellow cartridge. Within a couple of weeks, the yellow ink cartridge was empty? I don't even remember doing any colour printing.... The other ink cartridges that were there from another company (Canada computers I believe) were about halfway full when I needed to refill the yellow, and they're still virtually at the same level now? Now my printer isn't working because there needs to be sufficient ink or else it won't operate, even just to print black and white, so that's annoying.

You buy as a kit and eventually get around to using the last couple of cartridges and find it fails. I am seeing a two year warrantee, but when I go to the "my past orders", I see the the return eligibility window is closed.How do I claim the 2 yrs. warrantee
