Remanufactured Replacement for HP 56 & 57 Ink Cartridge 2-Pack

It's tough to find a replacement toner cartridges for a 23-year-old ink jet printer, an HP 5550. After struggling with a bad dealer on eBay, I found these refilled cartridges to be like new. They work great for my small (color and black and white) printing projects.

Good value for the price

Garbage. The ink is clearly there after 3 months. But the cartridges stop outputting midway through, and as you can see the ink through the top has a white ghost line. I just now discovered amidst the detritus around my destk an unopened original HP 56 black cartridge and did a test page with black-only settings. It was fine. Compare the results. (the black scribbles are mine to block personal information).

Print quality like OEM about a third of the cost of Manufacturer. Will continue to purchase for HP Deskjet 5550. Older printer but still does photos great.

These cartridges are as good, or better, than HP at a fraction of the price. I really am glad that I found them. However, my printer wouldn't accept the new color cartridge, so I just put the old one back in. It wasn't out of ink anyway. Highly recommend.

this is a revised review in order to recognize the shipper/supplier for outstanding customer service. Color cartridge empty or defective, after only 1 print job. Must have been a defective cartridge. The vendor quickly remedied the issue by sending me not one but two replacement cartridges.!!! Hoping the new one works 🤞 thank you Valuetoner for providing outstanding customer service

TLDR: if you don't need precision/crispness this is acceptable, if you need precision for your printing application (e.g. printing barcodes that will be scanned) avoid this as it is blotchy and has the effect of making your print thicker which could affect precision. Bought for HP PSC 2410 that has been sitting in storage. Didn't know if the printer was good, so opted for this cheaper ink. Once I used it, the print came out a little blotchy and I didn't find it acceptable for the documents I was printing (US Passport renewal, had personal info and a barcode that is likely electronically scanned once they receive it, the blotchiness was a concern especially for the barcode and I didn't want to have to deal with issues during the process). Figured 50/50 if it's the ink or the printer, opted to assume it's this ink and purchased the official HP ink which is quite a bit more expensive than this. The HP Ink is crisper and far better. Attached is the cover page of the application with no personal info and you can see the difference between the one from this ink (bottom paper): - picture isn't very good at showing the blotchiness besides showing that the print is thicker - zooming in the picture it blurs at the edges of the letter but looking closely in person it's blotchy - also the color seems to be hit or miss didn't come out for me on this print although it has worked fine in printing colored section when the printer does it's alignment print Top paper is with HP ink. Way more crisp and nice to see. Color showed up although looks like there might be issues with the printer/nozzle as there's some discolored streaks in the light blue colored background of the headers.

Fit perfect as expected and work just fine for my aging printer.

I was skeptical at first but work well
