Since I am generally skeptical about HP Nachbau- or refill cartridges, the price offered by Alaskaprint was very attractive, I decided to try it again. The very first color cartridge you installed is defective. Only after repeated cleaning, they printed only one of the three colors. The second cartridge supplied worked perfectly, however, and shows about 20 full color pages a balanced color image of the original HP cartridges is indistinguishable. Also, I can say now that the cartridge is not dried up after more than a week non-use. I therefore regard the star award something in dilemma. My complaint was handled promptly and I received a few days, a replacement for the faulty cartridge, which I have not tried yet because I want to remove it from the sealed bag until needed. I'm going to expand this review once I have more experience with other products of this supplier.
