HP 57 Tri-Color Ink Cartridge | Works with DeskJet F4100, 450, 5000, 9600; PhotoSmart 100, 200, 7000; OfficeJet 4000, 5500, 6110; Digital Copier Printer 410; PSC 1000, 2000 Series | C6657AN

I've had my HP PSC 2200 series all-in-one since December 14, 2002. It still runs beautifully, even though the software drivers aren't get much of any recent updates it seems. But it works! The PSC 2200 series uses 2 cartridges: one black (high-capacity is available -- get it now!) and another that includes the Magnenta, Cyan, and Yellow colors. Unlike a lot of printers, it will continue to print if you do run out of a certain color, but I use those as "proofs" before installing new cartridges and using the more-expensive ink-jet papers for photos, etc. I am worried that one day, HP will just stop making the ink cartridges for this series. So I have been stocking up for those "just in case" days. The tri-color cartridge 57 IS EXPENSIVE (yeah, sticker shock); the high-capacity 56 Black is about half the price. Also, I have made sure to check the seller & shipper for this product. You don't want a counterfeit gunking up and clogging your ink jets! Amazon is pretty good about making sure the HP version is available from them.

Good

I was a little nervous about purchasing as I read mixed reviews, but the cartridge was perfect for my HP PSC1100 series. I hadn't had color nor black ink in a while, so I was unsure if my printer would still work after purchasing ink, but this slid in perfectly and now my printer is working again.

Always makes great color prints in my printer. Have tried to find 3rd party cartridges but not successful finding one that makes color prints. Can find black and white cartridges however. This is because HP software prevents non standard cartridges of this type to work in a HP printer.

Fit hp 5150 printer, works well at lower cost

Easy to fix and is working well.

Just what our printer needed

Long lasting on the printer ink for original HP inkjet printer cartridges

HP tri-colour ink cartridges are the best for the HP all-in-one printers. I've tried cheaper no-name brands but they don't print as well and don't last as long as the HP brand.

My 4in1 printer is 20+ years old and slow but still does the job. I only use hp brand printer ink because the recycled/ remanufacured/ refilled (compatible) ink cartridges don't last long. I feel that used inks from 3rd party manufacturers are a rip off and I don't recommend purchasing just to save money. This time I had to order from amazon, usually I get the colour ink from the office supply store or walmart here. But I see a lot of places where I live don't carry colour ink just 56 black ink. I wish coloured ink wasn't so expensive. But still better price then what you would have to pay for other colour print ink cartridges these days. Printer quality isn't bad considering how long I've had my printer for. I don't print that often, but when I print larger jobs it lasts quite awhile (it also depends what your printing). If your printing a lot of pictures like 200 4×6" high quality photos 2 on a page on photo paper. It will probably last in a shorter time frame for example. I would recommend this product to a friend.

Performs as expected

I have always preferred HP cartridges, but, over the years, they became too expensive. Now my HP printer refuses to use recycled cartridges anymore, so I'm back to the real McCoy. I can't rate the longevity, as I don't know how long these cartridges will last. I only installed them last week. Value for money is difficult, as they are very expensive, but, on the other hand, they do print better & last longer than recycleables. So, I'm trying to not use up these inks too quickly. :)
