I refill my cartridges regularly and know the exact weight of full and empty cartridges. I am a heavy user, and through refilling often get thousands of copies from a single OEM cartridge. The first OCinkjet cartridge I installed worked fine for a couple of days, then was rejected by my computer. (See similar comments in other reviews)
Before I installed the next cartridge, out of curiosity I weighed it and found that is was only 1 1/4 ounces
Normally an OEM HP 56 weighs 1 5/8 ounces and needs to be refilled at approximately 1 ounce.
This means that and OEM cartridge has about 5/8 ounce of usable ink, whereas this cartridge has only 1/4 ounce. In other words, the OEM cartridge contains 2 1/2 times as much usable ink as the OCinkjet cartridge, and it is likely that the OCinkjet cartridge will fail far sooner.
The OEM cartridge sells for around $12 and the OCinkjet around $6. Even if their reliabilities were equal {which they are not) you would need 2 1/2 OC cartridges to have as much ink as the HP cartridge. ($6 X 2 1/2 = $15) This makes the OC cartridge both more expensive AND more likely to fail.
Accordingly, if you buy the OC cartridge, you are a sucker.
By the way, forget about the one year warranty. There is no contact info on the product, and when you do your detective work to find out how to reach the manufacturer, they do not respond.

I purchased these for my older HP deskjet 5150 printer.
My ink budget was getting out of conntrol spending $25 every few weeks was becoming a problem.
These remanufactured ink refills seemed like a good option to try.
They are working just fine without and problems at all.
The printed pages are as good as a brand new store bought cartdridge.

Honest reviews on Printronic Remanufactured Ink Cartridge Replacement for HP 56
I purchased these about 10 weeks ago from OCProducts because I wanted to cut my cost of printing. Of the 4 cartridges, the first worked for a couple times but I did not return it because the second one worked. The second worked several times over the course of about 8 weeks and then the printer could not read it. The third and fourth did not work at all. The printer could not read them but had no problem with an HP cartridge. Given how many times I printed the final cost per page was about $1 per page.

Some of these the machine could not detect and had to be dumped. Some stopped working after a few prints. Buy Original, buy genuine HP.
