Strengths: easy installation, very good color tones,
Weaknesses: needs to be used in conjunction with color cartridge #58 to get good photo color prints
Summary: I would recommend the #57 color cartridge because it is so simple and easy to use and install in my printer. The color duplication is exact and real, I always feel confident when using the #57 cartidge because it has never let me down. I always look for #57 ink cartridge and always recommend using it to my friends and co-workers.

Strengths: Easy to insall...good ink quality
Weaknesses: Low ink volume
Summary: In contrast to refurbished cartridges, these original HP products exhibit superior quality and dry time. In particular, the difference in quality is readily apparent when printing on high quality, glossy paper. I am more than satisfied with this product.

Strengths: Best Price
Weaknesses: being new, there is none
Summary: I have looked for this ink everywhere and can not find it so easily and at a great price. I will continue to purchase this item for your site from now on. Again, I have not seen this price break in a long time.

Strengths: Very nice ink, bright and full of color
Weaknesses: A bit pricy for what you get.
Summary: I really like the ink cartridges, especially with the heads on the cartridge, unlike the Epson. I guess I just got too frustrated with the Epson printers clogging. Anyway, a bit pricy. Try to get original ink, rather than refurbised. I purchased from Databazaar.com, and got original cartridges for a very reasonable price.

Strengths: Great color using good photo paper.
Weaknesses: Expensive!I will try using #C8728 tricolor next time. Online has best prices than most retail stores
Summary: If you print alot of Glossy Prints using good photo paper, this is the cartridge for you. HP paper works real good with the #57. Epson paper not so good.

Strengths: Color and print comes out good
Weaknesses: NA
Summary: I was getting lines on my pictures, but that could also be the printer (HP Photosmart 100). Overall, I think HP printers and their inks are good. I've had a Canon and Epson and both my HPs are better.

Strengths: Reliable.
Weaknesses: Costly.
Summary: I use HP #57 C6657AN for my HP PSC 1210. Got a brand-new genuine HP #57, not refurbished or third-party. Works great. Prints acceptable photo-quality image on regular inkjet papers. Highly recommended.

Strengths: lasts a relatively long time produces high quality prints
Weaknesses: VERY expensive
Summary: This cartridge lasts a relatively long time. It produces high quality prints, and works like a charm. HP quality at its best

The only weakness is that these cartriges are very expensive. Best Buy retails them for nearly $40, so its best to buy them online. Go to pricegrabber to get the lowest prices!

Strengths: Great for printing color graphics and text.
Weaknesses: Expensive. Although these cartridges contain the print heads so the price is somewhat justified.
Summary: The HP tricolor cartridge #57 helps my printer produce great graphics and acceptable photos. For printing photos I suggest using the HP photo cartridge #58 in conjunction with your tricolor cartridge. Make sure your printer supports this option. Together they produce beautiful vibrant photos.

Strengths: Very high quality photos with stunning color. Easy to install.
Weaknesses: Pricey unless purchased online through PriceGrabber. Needs the work with the 58 Photo Ink Cartridge to really bring out the quality.
Summary: Easy to install with the HP Photosmart 7550 and similar models. Best to use the new cartridge over the refills for best printing quality. Price is a bit high, but setting the ink volume slightly lower in the printer settings helps to reduce the amount of ink used while still providing great quality prints. Definitely best to use PriceGrabber for purchasing.

Strengths: Use the HP 57 tricolor cartridge(this purchase)with the HP 56 black for long excellent results. Don't use the 58
Weaknesses: Can't complain
Summary: I use the above inks on an old HP three way 1315 printer that gives me outstanding results. Speaking as a retired,

Summary: 2007-08-08 08:54:40 The ink has been in my printer for about 1 month, but I print my own greeting cards and use it a lot. So far it seems just like the name brand ink. I would buy it again.
