Review of Sophia Global Remanufactured Ink Cartridge Replacement for HP 61 (2

Customer Ratings:

I've always bought manufacturer cartridges, especially since my failure at trying to refill my own cartridges. But I use a lot more ink with my craft projects now, and it was getting too expensive to keep buying at HP prices. Sophia Global cartridges worked fine in my printer. The last time I needed cartridges, it was actually cheaper to buy a whole new printer, but now with the Sophia Global cartridges, I can replace the cartridges at a much lower cost. I will buy from them again.

First of all this was really difficult to get into the ink cartridge slot.(HP Deskjet F2210 All in One) The black HP one clicked right in and I had to fight WWIII to get the colored one in place....

Also HP does not recognize this cartridge as the printer does some other non OEM cartridges so ink levels never shows up.

Now after printing just a few colored documents, the printer tells me I am out of color....I continued to try to print color and of course it did not work....I got nice black and white prints....but no color.....

So I am questioning just exactly how much ink is in this cartridge.....I suspect not much so I got what a paid for....not much....I don't recommend. Spend a bit more and get either HP or another brand....

Update June 4, 2011I noticed in this 2nd pkg of the colored cartridge is a little note tucked under the clip you pull off and discard: "Please be aware that due to new programming features in printers the ink level for this cartridge might appear empty" This note was not on the other color cartridge. They are right: it always shows no ink !!! I ordered 2 packages of 2.....I'm bummed !!!
