Does anyone have experience w/buying non-OEM cartridges? I hate to buy expensive cartridges, but I'm nervous about buying something that isnt as good.

Yes, definitely don't waste your money on the brand-specific cartridges. Global Toner is one brand that I've had good experiences with. All of the other brands I've ordered from have been pretty hit or miss for me with a bunch of leaking cartridges. No issues with Global Toner yet!

Best to go to HP online. I do not buy remanufactured ink anymore. Too many problems. Good luck!

I went thru the same thing. Contacted the seller and they sent me new ones and I had the same problem. I'm not happy with the cartridges OR my printer. Wish I could give you more help.

I haven't had to buy any replacement cartridges yet. I've had mine for several months, using it a couple times a week.

I buy oem cartridges and they work. Don't know about after market cartridges.

Not true! I buy non-oem cartridges and refill them too. They print just fine. I have been doing this for 20 years. LC61 and LC51 don't have a chip. Some printers use chips in their cartridges in which case you buy a chip re-setter.

Charles, I have found that remanufactured cartridges have different issues with them. I had one that did the same returned it and bought genuine HP cartridges. I have gotten over 10 Printronic Cartridges and returned 6 of them so go figureRobert Y

Relying on the date purchased to determine which model you have is risky imo, I would just give them a call and they will ask for the serial number on your model and confirm which model you have and which cartridges you can use. I understand they have also come out with a life time cartridge for the older model as well.

NO! I haven't found a 3rd party cartridge that works. You have to pull the chip from an OEM cartridge and put it on the 3rd party one to make it work. If I had known, I would not have bought this printer. Otherwise, I love it.

I also received original cartridges and had no problems at all. Although when I went to reorder they were not available directly from Amazon but only via a 3rd party reseller, so maybe that is what happened to the other customer. Also the other thing I would say is to check the prices of the individual cartridges as I have found that you are better buying separately.

Hello, I do have 3 printers working good with this non oem cartridges. Do not see a problem, why the printer should get damaged. Unless U use the printer frequently, so that the ink does not dry in the ink head. This also will happen with the original ones. The manufacturers make their monnies through the ink cartridges, not the high end printers sold at cost. Have fun Brgds

I have used OC Products and Printonic from Amazon in my printer like this. Most of the generic or refurbished cartridges that I have used worked well. I have had a few that did not. I recently got some very cheap ones from Meritline that worked when first installed, then after a few weeks, suddenly the printer did "not recognize" the cartridge and would not print. I tried a lot of things but nothing worked and I had to throw away those 2 cartridge, 2 black ink. My advice DO NOT get the very cheapest ones. Amazon has a feature that I like very much where it will let you know if the cartridges will work in your printer if you have it listed.

Using the cartridges is always interesting. The chips onthe cartridges need to perfectly match the pins in the printer. If you are getting "cartridge not recognized" that may or may not be solved by removing and replacing the cartridge. If you are getting noting, power down the printer, let things reset and then try the new cartridges. I consider these a boon when they work and am not too disappointed when they don't. You might also try cartridges from one of the other packs. I hope this is helpful - and if not, truly sympathetic.

As with other responses, sorry but I threw the boxes away. No reason to keep then; my cartridges worked as expected. They still do. By the way, I learned my lesson: Buy cheap? That's what you'll get. Hope this helps you some.

Refurbished cartridges last longer than the OEM versions. I have had mine for about four months and I am on my second cartridge. The first OEM cartridge went out after three weeks and the refurbished I'm still using. I print quite a bit since this is my work printer.

I am a repeat buyer from this seller and have found these cartridges to be inconsistent. Most of them last as long as the "high" capacity OEM cartridges. I have had one or two that did not last that long however. I'm not sure if it is a problem with the cartridge or my printer however. I'm sorry I couldn't be more definitive in my answer but if I had to say one way or the other, I would say that they are more comparable to the "high" capacity. I hope this helps.
