HP 51645AE 45 Large Original Ink Cartridge, Black, Single Pack

I have used the hp original 45 Black Ink Cartridge (42 ml) since I had my current printer (Deskjet 990cxi). It has never disappointed, is reliable and the quality remains consistent.If I have one criticism, it is that it/the printer tells me it 'is low on black ink' long before it runs out enough to effect the print quality.hp printer inks are more expensive than most, but I think the extra £/p is worth it.

BROUGHT THIS FOR WORK, IT WORKS WELL AND PRICE IS GOOD!

This was sold as an Original ink cartridge.It is a used cartridge with OEM ink.

Arrived promptly and worked pretty much as expected (in a Deskjet 930c which said that it needed a new B&W cartridge I put this in and it immediately said it needed a colour cartridge, but with a new colour cartridge in all was well).

Whenever I buy cartridges for older printers I do my best to find the genuine item, as refills often give poor results.This is a genuine HP cartridge, with all the appropriate seals and holograms. The "use by" date is more than a year away.My only concern is that it is becoming increasingly expensive to buy cartridges for the older printers.

Over the years I've learnt the hard way that buying the so-called compatible cartridges isn't a particularly good idea. Cheap? yes. Quality of printing? sometimes indifferent. Life? Generally low.So I thought it would be a good idea to try one of these HP cartridges which are considerably cheaper than sourcing the cartridge elsewhere.Although I haven't yet installed it (the cartridge on my HP Printer has yet to die completely) it looks perfectly OK. I'll update the review in a few weeks time when I've used the cartridge for real.

I have a very old, but reliable HP Printer and I was concerned that I would no longer be able to get a replacement print cartridge. Well done Amazon.

My black cartridge was running thin so I ordered a replacement from this supplier. Due to various reasons I did not use the printer for quite some time, but then I needed to replace the cartridge. Then the printer started acting up. I was a bit suspicious about the packaging of the 45 cartridge but dismissed it. But now I have my serious doubts it was not a legitmitate HP product. I've never had a problem with cartridges over the many years, but have come across many stories of people having problems with copycat cheap products. The font quality is so poor it only performs in the Best setting, and is so faint in Normal you can hardly see it. In Draft it prints nothing. Tried it on two other PCs and it is the same. Certainly something odd about this cartridge. Don't use this supplier is my advice.
