You may
think you're saving money on remanufactured or refilled ink cartridges,
but in the long run, the cost of wasted time, ink, and paper can
more than make up the difference. |

HP dependability adds up to superior quality |

Refill brands often claim their products will work just like a new product. But QualityLogic found that 34.4%
pages printed with refilled brands were low quality due to banding, streaks, smudges, and other print quality
problems.

HP Ink cartridges are designed to work with your printer |
|
Original HP inkjet cartridges and HP papers are precisely formulated to work with your HP printer for print quality results
and unmatched reliability. In addition, you can be assured your ink level gauge works with HP cartridges. With refilled
cartridges the ink level gauge may not work and you may not know how much ink you have left.
With original HP inkjet cartridges, you know you're getting a new cartridge. With refilled and remanufactured ink cartridges,
you can never be sure how many times the cartridge has been reused or what kind of print quality and performance you'll get.
HP is a leader in ink
cartridge recycling |

|
HP recycled approximately 140 million
pounds of hardware and HP print cartridges globally in 2005—minimizing
impact to the environment.
