I am generally pleased with the HP 344 twinpack bundle. The colour is good and I get a reasonable quantity of prints per cartridge. Naturally, the tri-colour ink system isn’t the most economical if you use any one colour particularly heavily… but the same is true of any other tri-colour system and was a known factor when I purchased my multifunction printer.
Online prices have proven significantly lower than instore prices, enabling me to purchase genuine HP cartridges which do not invalidate the warranty on my printers for the same/less money as compatibles/refurbs instore.
Please avoid the advice of the reviewer ‘Mr Ince’ who has been advertising a potentially dubious site, using the same wording over many reviews.

Whilst the ink cartridge has been working fine it came without its outer packaging. Cartridge King advised me that they had they had posted the fact that the outer packaging would not be included on the Amazon website. I searced for this but could find no evidence of it. This might seem a minor thing but the outer packaging condains details of the sale-by/use-by date. This means if you tend to keep a couple of spare cartridges in hand it impossible to tell which cartridges should be used first. It also means it is impossible to tell if the company is selling you an out of date cartridge. I quereied this with Cartridge King and they assured me that they never sell out of date cartridges – unfortunatally I only have their word for this. In summary the cartridge was a genuine HP cartridge (not a refilled one) and was cheep and worked well. Cartridge King were very efficent in replying to my emails. BUT I was dissapointed not to recieve the outer packaging as I am left wonering just how old the cartridge actually was!

I bought this product on Amazon and found that is was a lot cheaper than the shops. I have always used the HP range as that is the make of my printer I have not used other refills or cartridges that say they are compatible, as this has been known to clog your printer. The service provided by the retailer was great and fast. The product gives perfect photo finish that you would see with that of the photo labs. The colours have great contrast and sharp picture quality. I am very pleased.

I have been using HP Ink for many years now. The colours come out as you would expect in good quality regardless of paper type although the better the paper, the better the print quality. Buying in multi-packs is more cost effective and recommended because ink is not cheap.

Bought it for a friend, he said it lasted long, and printed good quality pictures, text and so on.. The delivery was also fast.
