Hewlett Packard C6625 Ink Cartridge

I have been using the HP 17 Tri-Color ink cartridges for several years in my HP 840 printer. The colors are bright and true and seems to last a long time. I tend to use one color more than the other two and have found it is very easy to refill just that one color. I have the best results with Stratitec ink for the refills.

I now purchase all of my NIB HP 17 ink cartridges from eBay sellers and have had very good experience with them even when they are outdated. Only once did I have a problem when only blue printed from a NIB outdated cartridge. Setting the cartridge on a damp paper towel for a few minutes solved that problem.

Purchased it because at Ebay, you can generally save nearly 50% as opposed to store prices. Con side is you can't easily return it if defective.
Danger is, of course is, will the cartridge work? If you don't use it immediately,even if the expiration date is good, there is no guarantee it'll work if you don't use it as soon as it's received.
How often does that scenario appear?
Ask the seller for an expiration date and any background on the cartidge history.
Where was it stored? Where did they get it? Any info will help you make a better decision. Again, it is a hit-miss situation. Unless the seller will guarantee the cartridge for a time period, you're on your own.
Check the feedback too. Lots of complaints about non-working cartridges should be a warning not to use that seller. Good luck.

I thought it was a good deal until I realized that it didn't have the full color spectrum as specified on the box. It only prints one color- bright pink!

I was glad to have found a cartridge available - it is no longer carry by local B/M stores. The price with S/H was excellent. Thanks.

Cartridge would not produce images becuse ink was dried - up.
I attempted to prime it but with no success.

OEM cartridges are the only way to go with HP color machines. Even after their expiration date they always preform well as long as they have been stored properly.

I bought it for my printer. I havn't used it yet so don't know if it works or not. I like it because cheaper than buying in stores.

I was running low on color ink and needed a new cartridge,found this one and got it for low price. Shipping charge was reasonable total value very good for origional HP cartridge. I have not installed it yet,it does have a 01- 08 date but package is sealed so I believe it will work just fine.
