Colorful photos
are what you would expect to get from HP printers and ink cartridges, and that's exactly what you get when using thier products. I have always used HP products and have never been disappointed with their results. The photos are sharp and with just the right amount of color saturation (of course a lot depends on the quality of the camera you are using). The best part of using HP in this instance is that each color has its own cartridge, so if you run out of ink in one color you don't have to discard the cartridge with othet colors left in them. There, Amazon asked me to review my purchase and I did (what I wrote is all true) Happy printing.

It's OK
I have purchased this several times and every time I have to purchase one color or another before all of the paper is used up. It does make it handy and reasonable to purchase the ink and paper together, just with it came with more ink.

poor
It is not so much the product(which I never did receive) it is your shipping policy. I live in an area where the US mail is not delivered. I must have a p.o. box. UPS and FEDEX are ok. At the time of the order amazon cannot tell you how you are to receive your order, so it is just luck if you get it. After several phone calls and undeliverable emails, I get conflicting information from your customer service people (that barley speak english), and another 2 weeks to get a problem resolved. I will not be using amazon in the future unless this problem gets resolved.

An alternative Combo Pak
HP 02 Inkjet Print Cartridge Color Combo Pack CC604FN#140
Most retailers including Amazon sell the Combo Pack which includes only Five 5 color cartridge. My local Sam s Club sells a Combo VALUE pack which also includes the black cartridge six cartridges . The cost is $57. Amazon please provide this option also.

Also, the HP printer that use the 02 cartridges give the message that ink level is low and cartridge MUST be replaced". Don t be fooled. Many more pages can be printed before there is a need to replace the cartridge.

Service?
Holy cow!! Two months shipping time!! Even by Chinese sampan you would think it could be faster than that. C'mon Amazon.
