HP intentionally mis-leads the public with this combo pack. Simply put, the cartridges have less ink than if you bought each cartridge individually. It is like pulling teeth to get them to admit it.

Buy HP Q7964AN #02 Photo Value Pack Now

I stumbled upon this "HP Custom Photo Value Pack" about a year ago at my local store. For business purposes, I needed to print some bulk photos on the fly and on a limited budget. This package is a GREAT value! First of all, it includes Black AND colored ink cartridges along with 150 sheets of HP 4"x6" glossy photo paper. Currently, there is only ONE other HP Vivera colored ink cartridge combo set available for my printer model (that I know of). That other color combo pack ONLY brings the 5 assorted colored ink cartridges necessary for my printer to run properly. That other set ranges in price anywhere from 50 to 65 dollars. Here''s the kicker it DOESN''T even include the black ink! You have to buy that separately, which is another 15-20 bucks.

When I first saw this "Photo" Value Pack, I was almost sure that it was not the right size or type for MY printer. The price seemed a LOT lower than all the other ink cartridges for my machine. After looking at my old cartridges, asking an "ink specialist" at the store and verifying the info on the box... I realized that yes; indeed, this "Photo Value Pack" WAS going to work with my printer. Were the colored ink cartridges in this "Photo" pack smaller than the INDIVIDUAL color inks that I was normally buying? Was the black ink going to be a puny, not-quite-full cartridge... that would run out in a week or two? Surprisingly, the answer is No! ALL of the cartridges in this "Photo Value Pack" wound up lasting me JUST as long as the individual ones I''d been buying all of these years. As a bonus, this Pack also comes with 150 sheets of HP photo paper! I''ve seen similar packs of photo paper ALONE sell for 20 30 dollars, if not more.

I have an "HP Photosmart C6150 All-In-One Scanner, Printer & Fax". If you have one of these professional type HP scanner/printer/fax machines... you KNOW how expensive the ink is. And you also know that your machine recognizes off brand ink; it "knows" if you try to refill the empty cartridges (and the machine will reject them, or refuse to print). It''s definitely a smart way for HP to keep its clients on the hook to buy their inks. But with this "Photo Value Pack"... there IS a way to level the playing field (a tiny bit). Trust me, over the long run it will work out in your favor. Prior to finding this HP "Photo Value Pack", I''ve been content with buying my printer ink on an "As needed basis". If the printer is running low on a certain color, I''d run out and buy one individual cartridge. Sometimes if there was a GREAT deal, I''d stock up on the black ink which ranges from about $15 to 30 bucks per cartridge.

I think the labeling on the box intentionally implies that this package is specifically for photo printing projects only and consumers don''t immediately realize exactly what you get with this. Initially, I only bought this "Photo value pack" for a specific project, where I NEEDED to print lots of pics. But once that project was done, the ink cartridges were still cranking out my other documents. After that, I was a convert. This is the only combo pack of HP ink (that works with my machine) that offers all 5 color cartridges AND the larger black ink cartridge. This is now the ONLY way I purchase ink for my HP printer. The photo paper has now simply become an added bonus. I actually have about 3 or 4 unopened baggies with 150 sheets of the HP photo paper still inside.

Now, there IS one minor flaw... Over the past year of using this "Photo Value Pack" in place of purchasing my regular individual cartridges one-by-one... this situation has emerged. Maybe it''s just me, but I''m mentioning it anyway. It seems like the Dark Blue & Dark Pink cartridges (Cyan and Magenta I think) DO get used more than the LIGHT pink & LIGHT blue cartridges. After buying the "Photo Value Pack" about 7 or 8 times, I''ve wound up with 3 or 4 of the light pink and light blue cartridges still unopened. I''ll admit that I''ve had to run out and purchase a dark blue and a dark pink cartridge to kind of even it out. BUT! They have recently come out with these `Bonus'' sized individual color cartridges... so for $5 $7 each... I STILL consider it to be a better value over the long run. Now, with Amazon offering it at an even LOWER price than my local office supply store... I am very pleased. Sometimes, it''s the little things that make me happy. If you print a lot of color documents (or pictures) ... then this set will keep you stocked up with premium HP inks at a fraction of the cost and nice 4" x 6" glossy photo paper to boot!
