not use dthe comany in question but did order 5 black and 1 of each colour from a similar setup who's blurb said the same quality as original
NEVER got even close to a nice printout from them and they ran out far quicker than the oiginals. You wouldn't even use the printouts for your own use, let alone send them to anyone else. the colour doesn't come out uniformly (if at all) and the black in on text just drags unbelievably.
I really wanted to find a cheap alternative to originals but have ended up buying original epsom ones again and phew my printouts were back to a decent standard. Just need to buy a black epsom one again now.
I won't be trying this type of cartridge again.

Lots of printing - a standard Canon black cartridge would usually last me about 2 weeks. One of those ones would last about 3 days - never bothered to count the number of pages though

I've used www.kc-inks.co.uk in the past and they're cheap for original HP cartridges.Their prices online include delivery to your door so no hidden costs!!
I have two HP Photosmarts and have used the compatibles from there and they have been brilliant (Alphajet)
