Summary: Beware of expiration dates!!
Review: I'm glad I read the previous review of the HP 23 color cartridge. I had just put in a new color cartridge in my trusty HP OfficeJet T45 only to find that it would no longer print yellow. I tried a spare HP 23 color cartridge - same result. Color photos came out maroon or blue. Since I was getting the exact same result from two never-used color cartridges, I concluded that I was going to be shopping for a new color printer.

Then I read the review about checking the expiration date on the back of the cartridge box. I had bought several HP 23 color cartridges some years back and never used them. When I checked their expiration dates, the ones that I hadn't used were over two years passed their dates. I had unfortunately tossed out the boxes for the first two cartridges, so I'm assuming that they were also long past their due dates. Fortunately I had one color cartridge that was still good, so I installed it and tried it. Voila! It printed fine.

This will teach me to avoid stocking up on color cartridges when they're on sale on the assumption that they'll last forever. At about $35 a pop, I was out over $100 in color cartridges. Too bad HP can't find some way of prolonging their yellow pigments. I hated to throw out brand-new cartridges, but better that than buying a new printer.

Summary: Quality output, but wish there were more ink in there!
Review: In my HP 880c printer, this cartridge generates beautiful results. On cheap copier paper, even photos print crisply and richly. However, I can't believe how often I have to replace this cartridge. I mostly print text documents with incidental color -- hyperlinks and occasional graphics -- and I replace the color cartridge about as often as I replace the black cartridge.

Summary: High Quality InkJet Cartridge
Review: My trusty HP DeskJet 712C has chugged along for three years using HP cartridges. When I switched to a competing brand for the Black cartridge, I saw a sudden drop in quality -- especially in the first few days of use.

I appreciate the fact that, unlike some manufacturers, HP separates the Black from the Color cartridge. Rarely, if ever, do they both run out at the same time.

Be sure to note the expiration date on the back. One batch that I purchased at a suspiciously good price had expired over a year before and just wouldn't print at all.

Summary: What can I say...
Review: Reviewing a printer cartridge isn't rocket science. I've purchased many of these particular cartridge. I've never had a problem with them.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Quality, Medium Life
Review: This cartridge prints extremely sharp color pictures, especially when using photo quality paper. I've had some pictures I scanned in with my HP 6200 and then printed on an HP 895 CSE that people couldn't believe were photographic enlargements!

The only issue is that the cartridge doesn't last long printing pictures!
