After reading all the reviews that in a roundabout way accuse HP of corporate sabotage--i.e., refusing to recognize competitors' cartridges or reading full competitors' cartridges as empty or nearly so--I was reluctant to try but, on the other hand, HP's overpriced cartridges are so expensive that who but corporate and government offices can really afford them, these days? So I chose these because there were no negative reviews. The cartridges arrived quickly and in good condition. The first one I plugged in was rejected by HP. Upon inspection I could see nothing wrong with it. The enclosed FAQ suggested doing a full reset, but this initiates a head cleaning, which wastes about 20% of the cartridge and I don't want to waste the OEM color cartridges that are still more than half full, so I replaced the black refill with the second refill. This time it worked perfectly. The rejected cartridge is obviously full despite that HP claimed it was almost empty. From the reviews of other rebuilt and refilled cartridges this strikes me as sabotage on the part of HP. To my knowledge there is nothing illegal about that. We validate HP's vicious behavior by buying their products. The Officejet Pro 8600 is my second...and last...HP printer. I will not buy anymore of their products until they stop this kind of behavior. HP has lost me as a customer. As for the MPC Direct remanufactured HP 950XL black ink cartridge, despite that HP wasted one of them, for the price it's still a better deal than buying one HP OEM cartridge, and I intend to buy more of these.
