HP Black Cartridge CH561WN Deskjet Reviews Summary

Installation & Compatibility

Pros:

• "Installation was a breeze, even for someone like me who isn't particularly tech-savvy."
• "Fits perfectly on a HP Deskjet 1050."
• "These cartridges last a long time."
• "I'm a repeat customer and find it to be original sealed packaging (less the unnecessary box) and by all other measures clearly authentic, brand new ink cartridges."
• "The cartridge seamlessly fits into the designated slot of my HP printer, without any hassle or complicated procedures."
• "It works great with your HP Deskjet Printer, and the All-In-One J611 Series as well."
• "The product itself however, works well and is easy to install."

Cons:

• "Used one time and now no ink."
• "put cartridge in printer and it reads INCAPATIBLE CARTRRIDGES"
• "Very disappointed with this product, first it won't fit all hp printers and once you turn on the printer it always shows the orange blinker indicating ink is empty."
• "The THIRD cartridge I ordered--'Genuine HP' did not work AT ALL."
• "This was listed as being compatible with my printer but after being installed my printer didn't recognize it -- I played around with it for a little while and then it finally seemed to kick in."
• "I just put new cartridge in my printer. Will not print with it. HP flashed across the screen and my printer USED OR COUNTERFEIT CARTRIDGE DETECTED."
• "Printer will not utilize this cartridge whatsoever."

Print Quality & Ink Longevity

Pros:

• "I'm very surprised how long the ink is lasting. I've had it since 1/11/2012 with daily use and it's still printing dark text despite the low ink indicator."
• "The print quality is good."
• "Since working from home during the pandemic I put my printer through a lot of use! I have been using these cartridges in both black ink and tri-color and they are easy to install, last a long time and provide high quality print."
• "The quality of the prints is impressive, with sharp, dark black text that stands out beautifully on the paper."
• "Using HP original black ink, my documents come out printed crisp, clear and easy to read."
• "Even though HP ink cartridges are much too expensive, they do deliver on print quality (black and white or color) and last quite a long time."
• "The rich and deep black ink it produces ensures sharp and crisp text, making documents appear professional and legible."

Cons:

• "total rip off i will never buy another hp printer - constantly need to buy cartridges, these hp 61 do not last even a month and i dont even print that much."
• "What can I say. Does the job. UPDATE 07/01/2017: Initially I gave this product 5 stars. I've ordered about 3 of these cartridges. The problem is they don't last at all."
• "This cartridge dried up before it’s time, barely lasted 2 months and I print very rarely."
• "The printer rejected it as a used cartridge."
• "For the price of this cartridge, it's not a good value."
• "It ran out after a couple of months and I didn't even print as much as I usually do."
• "VERY disappointing. After a few dozen pages, this cartridge completely gave out. Nothing is printing clearly and it wasted a ton of ink trying to print pages that came out grayed out and unreadable."

Customer Service & Support

Pros:

• "I’ve ordered HP from Amazon before."
• "I needed ink for my printer while working from home and ran out... Amazon had it! Saved the day!"
• "I love receiving this product. Exact same packaging & product as you'd get in the store but at better price."
• "I returned the cartridge and received a replacement. The process was very easy."
• "I don’t know if this ink cartridge was a defective one or not but once I contacted amazon they were more than happy to send a replacement cartridge the next day."
• "I am so happy I wasn’t expecting my ink until tomorrow it was a nice surprise to come home from work and install the cartridge."
• "I reordered new ink for my printer, along with the color ink. Didn't think I could go wrong with the HP brand ink."
