So I searched on Amazon the cheapest pack, and I think the best quality / price ratio is here. I hope this shop will continue selling this :) pack. I also hesitated with syringes to fill oneself cartridges but it came back at the same price or even more.
Some may cartouchent drooling and dripping opening, so I suggest you remove the orange part by placing the head cartridge up, we already avoids problems with this technique. I also recommend lightly dab when it drooling and wipe with paper towels. Once the installation done, cartridges or rather the chips are not recognized by the HP system and are immediately detected as counterfeits. The small disadvantage => there is no longer access to the ink level, but nothing serious, since it works perfectly, I made various tests and printing is nickel on traditional A4 paper.
For photos tests (I said I replaced all my HP cartridges except photo black), I printed on good photo paper 10x15 as with my old HP original cartridges. The result is satisfactory, some light but sometimes almost invisible lines, very good quality short for ink at this price. Photos are against slightly underexposed, so a little darker and contrasted with the original HP. (Just add a little light before printing, once you have found the settings is ditto).
So much for the detail, in time to see if they are really XL cartridges, ie if they take over the long term.
Given the economy performed, I will redeem :).
EDIT 02/22/2015: inks have changed color during a test print today. Magenta turned purple, yellow green became delirious ... Enough! Several cleaning heads have solved the problem but be aware that the cartridges seem to clog quickly.
I also add that the price of this pack cartridges increased by over 7 euros in a few months.
EDIT 11/16/2014: I have just added a fault I just noticed. With paper larger than the standard weight, it drool. I tested 6 prints with paper 120 gr, the result was not precise: + burrs lines, I think this is probably due to the cartridges because no pb on standard paper (80 gr).
Please note the new photo cartridge is not the same as when I ordered. Hopefully this is exactly the same product.
