Original HP 88XL Yellow Officejet Ink Cartridge in Retail Packaging

This was an original product and was totally satisfactory and much less expensive that buying it at COSTCO

Amazon has a "great" price on this when compared to other stores. That isn't the issue. The issue is that the HP printers do not actually detect the level of ink in the 88 series of cartridges. They incrementally decrement their "estimated" volume based on use and TIME. So if you don't print anything the volume will still go down. Also these have an expiration date, once the printer detects they are out of date, you guessed it, the printer won't print even if they are full of ink. A typical refill of all 4 cartridges is one hundred to two hundred bucks. If you try to use a cartridge again by refilling the printer will remember the serial number and that it was "empty" and not allow it to work back in the printer. I've had great luck with HP printers for 20 years but my last one is a dog on the ink and there is no way that you are getting out without big bucks to HP. It's cheaper to buy a new Canon printer of similar capability than to replace all 4 ink carts in the 88 ink series HP printers. So scrap these ink carts and just go buy a Canon MX series for about the same price as replacement ink.

I ordered 3 of these cartridges (1 yellow, 1 cyan and 1 magenta), Asked amazon to group it into as few packages as possible, and what do i get?
A Plastic bubble wrap lined envelope with 3 cartridges in them, where the cartridge boxes almost changed shape to match the cartridge inside them.
This is by far the worst experience i've had so far from Amazon (probably because they decided to ship it with UPS)
Hope the next purchaser has better luck than i did....

I use these in my HP Officejet Pro L7580 Color All-in-One Printer/Fax/Scanner/Copier (C8187A#ABA). It prints out pretty good quality photos -- obviously not as good as my husband's printer-- but good enough quality to hand them out to family and students and for use at home and in the classroom. Having the right inks is crucial to quality.

I have bought these from Amazon with no difficulty whatsoever. I haven't had any defective cartridges. But I trust Amazon and its attention to quality customer service and I know that they would replace any defective cartridges. So often it isn't worth the risk or the time to buy from another seller. I know that the same sizes can be had from generic ink companies and that empty cartridges can be refilled -- maybe for $10 each at a drugstore. However, in my work and dealing with photographs, having inks be standardized and predictable is more important than the $9 savings from refilling color inks.

Oh, and I love the little box under the In Stock information that tells me:

Will This Work with Your Printer?

Yes! This will work with the HP Officejet Pro L7580 Color All-in-One Printer/Fax/Scanner/Copier (C8187A#ABA)

So simple!

Three 88XL Color Cartridges for HPOfficeJet (Yellow, Magenta & Cyan) My PC is running slowly & I am responding once for the three queries.

This is the large sized replacement ink cartrige. It's genuine HP out of the box...IT"S NOT a refilled, re-sold, ripoff. Good ink at nearly the best price around with reliable Amazon shipping.
