I upgraded to a new HP printer/scanner/copier 1350 earlier this year having used an old Deskjet 610C previously and was frankly very pleased with the quality that the new printer produced with this cartridge. The text is very crisp and clean and unlike the old printer ink does not smudge if left in the printer whilst the next sheet is sliding onto it.

HP cartridges always are a little more expensive than others but I do think they''re worth the price. And they are coming down in price, I can remember when a black deskjet printer cartridge cost nearly £20 and a tricolor cartridge nearly £30.

You can ignore the warning that the cartridge is running low in ink as it comes up much sooner than is necessary. Generally speaking when HP cartridges (laser and deskjet) start to run out you get portions of the page text faded out in the printout and that doesn''t usually happen for quite some time after the warning message appears.

Buy HP 56 C6656AN#140 Ink Cartridge Now

I just recently purchases an HP5550 and the printer, despite some negative reviews on speed... is excellent. The Ink is another story altogether. The cartridges are very small and after 1 week of regular use (home business printing, 4 or 5 pictures on sample paper) the ink is almost 1/2 finished!!! This could be a problem in the end as the ink is more expensive than other printer manufacturers. I guess watching ink consumption is something HP did not warn us about!

What''s to say this is an OEM HP ink cartridge from HP. It performs exactly as you''d expect. The price from amazon is good. The only way you''ll typically beat their price on this is either buying in bulk at a warehouse club or to buy a remanufacturered cartridge or ink kit. The former is risky as printer prices drop so fast you can end up with more ink than you need at a price higher than a new printer, and the latter which can be messy and sometimes impact print quality if you get low end stuff.

Want HP 56 C6656AN#140 Ink Cartridge Discount?

I never have any issues with HP inks in general. My issue is with the supplier.

Andrew''s Genuine Supplies sent me HP 56b carts. These will fit, but will produce inferior (Draft Only) quality pages.

I decided NOT to roll the dice on my lab equipment and opted to return them and buy from a more reliable supplier (Toner Planet to name one) and pay a couple of extra dollars per cart.

Presently the Amazon price for a new one, especially for customers who have Prime, is unmatched. You might save a few bucks with refurbs, but I sure haven''t had much luck with them. Should you go with a refurb, be sure that you use your printer on a regular basis. They dry up faster than new ones, requiring multiple recleanings (and wasting of the "good" cartridge''s ink) and occasionally simply refusing to come back to life. If you do purchase a refurb from an Amazon vendor and are dissatisfied with its performance, don''t write reviews panning the cartridge as though it were Amazon''s or Hewlitt Packard''s fault.
