    Have you tried refilling it yourself ? I've been using the same Black 12A1970 cartridge in my Lexmark all in one for about 2 years . Didn't have much luck with the coloured one but I don't print in colour

  • A word of caution about using cheap cartridges in HP machines.

    My original cartridges lasted a couple of years in my all in one printer which is alright considering those supplied are generally not 100% full.

    I bought a non brand refill about a year ago and have just had to replace them last week as the ink had gone with very little use.

    I managed to get a genuine colour cartridge from ASDA for £18 (HP78) and will be buying genuine replacements from now on as I see the cheaper ones as a false economy.

    Hello red77

    I'll move your thread over to 'The Consumables Board' where it should get more views and responses.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].

    Regards

    I second that, every time I've bought non manufacturer refills or been to the cartridge world places it just doesn't last as long and I get substandard print.

    Just type the serial number of cartridge into Google and there will be plenty of wholesalers on line who can provide quality originals.
