HP CN048AE 951XL High Yield Original Ink Cartridge, Yellow, Single Pack

As expected good quality ink

Since 2011 I have used first an HP Officejet 8000 printer and then since 2017 an Officejet 8620. I only use genuine HP inks, and I find that in the officejet models the inks are long lasting. I use my printer a lot as I am self-employed consultant engineer and I am forever witing reports and proposals and printing drafts for proof-reading. Before 2011 I used cheap models of HP Printers (eg deskjet) but i found that the inks cost more than the printers themselves and hardly lasted any time.. For the last few years I have bought these 4-cartridge packs (940XL for my previous printer, 950XL for my current one), and I find them to be good value for money. I do shop around and generally find the best price to be on Amazon or occasionally on the official HP website when they are running a promotion. I did look at the HP Instant Ink, but for my useage I felt it was not the way to go. When my last printer was nearing it's last legs and I already had the new one sitting in the box, I did experiement with 3rd-party compatible inks - never again. I would always use HP official ink - i have always found it to be reliable, and should my printer develop a problem then as i have only used original ink cartridges I will have no problem with getting HP support.

Genuine printer cartridges can be expensive, but these were a fair price. I was surprised that the colour cartridges were removed from their packaging (apparently to save postage costs), and that all the cartridges came in separate packages. I was only after a yellow ink (the others still having a little life left in them), but if made sense to purchase all the inks together... It was just typical of Royal Mail to deliver they ink I wanted last of all, but at least I got them. This company also provided me with a "recycle you old ink" envelope to return my used cartridges - so I can do my bit to help the environment ;)

My HP Printer is the best printer I have ever bought had it for years now, however the never ending price increases on these forced me to try cheaper alternative BUT! The printer was having none of it. Print quality out the window from poor to illegible. Perfect printing with these cartridges but sorry HP You are fast becoming rip off merchants.

This cartridge arrived loose (no packaging) and contained no ink. Very poor.

We're using a HP printer for almost 10 years. I have tried less expensive versions of the inks but the printer stops working. Once we use HP inks the printer continues to work exceptionally well. This multi-pack was fairly good value. I recommend other users to keep a look out for offers!

I have been using these ink cartridges for my HP printer for at least 10 years and they are good quality and last a long time. They have gone up in price a great deal over that time so I am less sure if they are good value when compared to other products but as I am not going to change my printer at the moment they work for me.

Item arrived on time, as described.
