Have only one original cartridges from HP used this were the purchase of the printer 3 years ago there. Since then I always use the cheaper cartridges from other suppliers, especially from B & W. So far I've never been disappointed. Very good color quality, even after 3 years, no fading of the photos. Only an incorrect level is from the HP software on the printer, the level, but so far only in black, appears. By stating that the use of non-genuine ink cartridges the Garanieleistung goes that bothers me but very little. Shake cartridge briefly, then I know whether there is more color. There were never problems with the self-cleaning of the printer or expiry of printer cartridges. My absolute buy recommendation!
