More Prints Per Cartridge. Period.

QualityLogic tests also show that you can count on worry-free reliability built into every Original HP inkjet cartridge:
  • More than 33% of tested refilled ink cartridges failed prematurely or right out of the box1
  • Only the tested Original HP ink cartridges worked every time, with no cartridge failures1

The numbers add up to amazing reliability, and exceptional value you can trust. When it comes to business, time is money. Original HP ink cartridges can save you both, by offering consistent performance and more printed pages than refilled cartridges.

Independent research confirms that the quality and usability of pages printed with Original HP LaserJet color toner cartridges is consistently more reliable than output from the remanufactured color toner cartridges tested.

Over 98% of pages inspected from Original HP cartridges tested were acceptable for all uses including documents and marketing materials presented externally to customers, vendors, and suppliers.

Over 25% of the pages inspected from tested remanufactured cartridges were unsuitable for external use.2

What does it mean?

Click "print" and relax. HP gives you more usable printed pages which means less reprinting, saving you time, paper, and money. 2
