Its not worth the price

Strengths:

I won't argue that the printing quality is poor, the prints are nice.

Weaknesses:

Very expensive for a mere 120 some pages.

Posted Aug 26, 2007 - I was so sick of spending money for these cartridges that I upgraded to a laser color printer for 300$. I am a college student so I shouldn't have a lot of cash to waste right? Well upgrading to a laser printer was a smart move - precisely because this inkjet stuff is too expensive. 2500 pages for 50 dollars on a laser versus 15 dollars for "150" pages on an inkjet. At 20% the cost I quickly cover the initial investment of a laser color printer. To be more precise, by the equivalent of my 25th black ink replacement I have made back the money I spent. If you print 10 pages a day, it takes less than a year to break even. In my case, I print much more than that so my investment is well worth it.

Money Down the Drain

Strengths:

Print quality is good using black ink, even when using "draft" mode to print. Never tried to print anything high-quality with the color, so can't really say.

Weaknesses:

Cost and frequency of replacing cartridge. I ususally print everything in "draft" mode just to save ink, and even doing this, I get about 100 pages per cartridge.

Posted May 20, 2007 - I knew that there had to be a catch when I bought the printer (HP 3930) for only $30, but I didn't think I would have to replace the ink cartridges so much, when I print so little. I've had this printer for a few months, and I've already had to buy 3 cartridges (see "weaknesses" above). If you're looking to buy a printer, great job checking this out before you purchase. Don't buy a printer that uses this cartridge. I'm looking for a new printer today, because I'm not going to put my money down the drain on this product anymore.

HP 21 Black Inkjet Print Cartr

Strengths:

Prints about 150 pages with one cartridge.

Weaknesses:

It costs about $15 per cartridge.

Posted Feb 19, 2007 - It prints about 150 pages with the cartridge. Which makes it great a cartridge. It produces great pages and clearly printed pages. I recommend the printer which uses the HP 21 cartridge.

hp 21 black inkjet printer cartridge

Strengths:

very easy to put into printer and great results

Weaknesses:

none

Posted Jan 21, 2007 - I am not very handy with printers but I did not have any trouble taking out the old cartridge and installing the new replacement cartridge form HP. I only trust name brands as I know they stand behind their product and I have never had any problems with them.

Very good

Strengths:

Print quality is very good: Clear print, no stains on paper.

Weaknesses:

run out of ink faster than expected.

Posted Dec 21, 2006 - I bought this one for my HP F380 All-in-One Deskjet to change the old one that came in with that all-in-one machine. The print quality is very satisfactory: the print is very clear with no stain on it. With this Deskjet, it runs less noisy than another old Canon one in my office. Combined with the HP 22 color ink cartridge, it makes good prints and copies for me. And it is easy to install it: just put it in the right position on the Deskjet and push it until it gets hitched. The only thing I am not satisfied with is that the old one has being running out much faster than expected. I don't think I have printed 150 pages and now the old one is almost gone. Every new one costs about 11-15 dollars. That is 7-10 cents per page.

HP OR NOT HP

Strengths:

GOOD QUALITY / EOM HP

Weaknesses:

RATED AT 150 PAGES - CARTRIDGE IS GOOD FOR ~120

Posted Dec 16, 2006 - GOOD QUALITY PRINTS - BUT CARTRIDGE DOES NOT YIELD 150 PAGER AS STATED (AT 5% COVERAGE) - ANOTHER ANNOYING PART OF THIS PRODUCT IS THAT PRINTER STARTS TO TELL YOU TO CHANGE THE CARTRIDGE WHILE YOU HAVE ENOUGH INK FOR ANOTHER ~50 PAGES. IN GENERAL I LIKE EPSON AND CANON - BETTER BANG FOR A BUCK. STILL IT IS A GOOD PRODUCT.

HP21 Blak Inkjet - Value for Money

Strengths:

Price is reasonable, especially due to lots of buying options. Print quality is reasonably good.

Weaknesses:

Cartidge is relatively small and would need frequent replacement.

Posted Nov 26, 2006 - Packaging was excellent from the manufacturer. Considering the cartridge size and number of number of pages printed (approx. 170 with an HP3940), it is definitely value for money. I personally prefer the smaller size of the cartridge that HP21 is, since it makes it less likely the ink would dry up during periods of inactivity.

Not high yield...

Strengths:

Great compact design, great hp quality.

Weaknesses:

150 page yield! Horrible!

Posted Oct 22, 2006 - Used in HP All-In-One F335. Great print speed. Wonderful copy quality and speed. Nice scanner. Everything about this product great EXCEPT finding out that the HP21 Black Ink cartridge has a yield of approx. 150 pages. That is just weak. Anywhere from 14-18 US dollars... guess you get what you pay for, huh?

Overview for the product HP 21 Black Inkjet

Strengths:

Very good sharpness of black ink

Weaknesses:

Very quantity of paper to print out (150 Pages)

Posted Oct 16, 2006 - If the HP company design the ink container that bigger than this product, it will generate more benefit to customer and it will give more convenience for customer as well.

HP 21 Black Inkjet Print Cartridge

Strengths:

This cartridge was easy to find, affordable, and easy to install. The print quality is very good.

Weaknesses:

It should be larger for a longer lasting use and print page quanitity.

Posted Feb 7, 2006 - The HP 21 Black Inkjet cartridge is sealed in an air tight plastic bag surrouned by a cardboard box, to protect it from shipping damage, and to help keep the ink from evaporating if it has been on a stores self or in stock at a for a long period of time.
