I started buying Vivera when it first came out and never went back to the regular inks. As someone who loves to print out photos at home and do various framing and scrapbooking projects, Vivera is a godsend. On the highest print quality setting and with HP Premium Plus Photo Paper, Vivera looks as good as or even better than professional, pricey photo lab photos. Love it.

I FOUND NO DIFFERENCE IN THE PRINTING QUALITY OF THIS CARTRIDGE TO OTHER REGULAR COLOR CARTRIDGES. I WOULD NOT SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AGAIN.

We switched to using the 57+ line of color cartridges after witnessing appalling amounts of fading with photos we had given to relatives (printed on Costco photo paper). It is especially bad under fluorescent lights.

So now we use only HP photo paper and 57+ ink (previously called "Vivera"). The results are definitely better, but I haven't conducted any fade tests yet.

Other than that, the printing quality is the same, so if you are ordering this thinking that magically your photos will look different, well, they won't. This ink fading issue is giving me lots to consider when it comes to choosing what our next printer will be.

My wife complained that the pictures I was printing were fading under fluorescent lights. I tried this cartridge and the problem has gone away. It does last longer and that is all I wanted. I would have given 5 stars but cartridges are just sooo expensive.
