The picture in the ad is a real HP toner cartridge box, and the description says it is from Hewlet Packard. However many of the items for sale are NOT genuine HP cartridges, and others are genuine, but refilled cartridges with "NEW" as the condition.
Let the buyer beware, Amazon is allowing clone sellers and refillers pretend to sell new HP cartridges with no clear indication of what you are buying from some of the merchants. Kudos to the merchants clearly stating what they are selling, but shame on Amazon for allowing some merchants to make it look like they are selling the real thing when they aren't. The picture is of a genuine HP product, this should NOT be allowed if some or all of the items are from third party manufacturers or are refills.
Let the buyer beware!
I use refills all the time, but the quality is not the same as new. I have my cartridges refilled locally, and when they wear out (and they do wear out) I tell the refiller to keep them, and I buy new replacements (and refill those till they wear out).
Only HP manufactured new cartridges should be sold under this item listing as new. A second listing for clone cartridges made by third parties should allow third party cartridges that are new to be sold as new, and all refills should be sold as used. |
