I have bought this double pack three times now and my initial reservations were confirmed with the last pack I bought. The colour cartridge just does not last a reasonable amount of time. I started to use this and printed off just 4 photos and a letter before the colour cartridge ran out. At first I thought it could be my fairly old printer but this weekend I went out and bought the HP22 cartridge from a shop. It wasn't an XL one - it was just the same as the one from Play.com. Although it cost me 18.00 pounds for the one cartridge, so far I have managed to print out 10 photos, 2 letters, a 16 page graph and the colour cartridge has barely been used. I can only conclude that there is something not quite right with the double packs I've bought from Play.com. I won't be buying them again although I still recommend this excellent site for DVD's and books etc.
it's about time hp released there products cheeper that before,since the like's of kodak and others are far cheaper than hp they needed a kick up the backside,let's hope this is the start of something new as i can't fault there printers,it's just the cost of running them,over all this was a great bargain and i brought two lot's of these for the price of one......
