works just fine! and arrived on time!November 9, 2008 Works just fine! and arrived on time! so I did not have to drive anywhere to get it!
Very Good BuyJuly 15, 2008 I believe this is a very good buy. I have looked elsewhere and the prices are much higher for the same product.
Get InkedJune 1, 2008 I've had my HP 952C printer since 2000. I love the print quality. Unfotunately I have to pay outrageous prices for the cartridge I am reviewing. Wow did printer manufacturers find a cash cow by making you have to buy the cartridge with the print head every few months. An amazing boon for them, a wallet shrinking expense for you. (Sorry, in case you were going to suggest "refills" I don't do them & won't do them). Do I like HP? Yes. Are the cartridges reliable? You bet, I've never had one fail yet. Are the cartridges way over priced? Darn right they are. What can I say though? We have to buy them. It's like soap or anti-perspirant. A necessary evil in life.

There's nothing like the real thing! I've tried several referbished cartridges and they really screwed up my printer. I went back to this original cartridge and all is well with my printer again. Great price through Amazon!
Works well if you can get it working wellDecember 24, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I use the HP 78 cartridge in my Deskjet 6122. Installing the cartridge should be easy, however most of these cartridges show several clogged jets on the alignment print (Windows XP). I usually have to go into H6122 Printer Assistant utilities and run several cleanings before I get a good test print. One cartridge was hopeless, even after trying a damp Q-tip, and I returned it to the store. Since the printhead is in the cartridge, I cannot blame the printer for this.
Once success is achieved, it works well. With moderate use it will not need another cleaning for the rest of the cartridge's service life. It prints nice documents and photos. Photos are a notch below the new Photosmart printers, but still very good. With the HP 78 there are very true blues, reds, whites, and fleshtones. Greens and yellows look a bit dull. Grayscale (which is actually composed of color dots when seen under a magnifier) has a very clean, neutral gray. The color ink is water soluble. It is possible to make water resistant photos using HP Advanced paper. HP doesn't stipulate to Advanced paper's compatibility with ink other than its Vivera inks, but the #78 works with it just fine.
How does the HP 78 compare to other inks and cartridges for compatible printers?
I have never tried refilling cartridges. I have tried the Office Depot brand #78 cartridge. It had good functionality, and it cleared its jets on installation more easily than the HP cartridges. Color was not quite as good as the HP, and grayscale looked slightly sepia.
The HP 78 Plus with Vivera inks was very disappointing in my printer. It would need a cleaning with every new print job, and whites looked reddish in photos. The HP Vivera inks can be great for the printers designed for them, but retrofitting to printers designed for the non-Vivera HP 78 does not work well. Replacing an HP 78 Plus with a regular HP 78 was a great relief.
