Text stays black and colour retains vibrancy for decades without fading. Plus, save money with individual inks by only having to replace the colour that has run out.
Only Original HP ink cartridges are made by HP, for HP, and are brand new each time. Independent research by Innovationstechnik confirms that the quality and usability of pages printed with Original HP inkjet cartridges is consistently more reliable than those output from the remanufactured cartridges tested. 1 in 5 compatible cartridges fail prematurely or never work at all.**
