Product Description

Print gallery-quality photos with superior fade resistance on a variety of papers more than 200 years on HP Advanced Photo Paper using proprietary HP Vivera pigment inks. Professional photos look just as they did through the lens or on the PC, with precision color consistency you can rely on from your first print to your last. Prints are also exceptionally water, smudge and humidity-resistant. Black-and-white photos show true neutral grays and deep blacks, high contrast and smooth transitions. Photo black ink is optimized for a variety of fine art papers featuring a matte finish, such as photo rag, watercolor and canvas. Easily replace one color at a time not the entire printhead. With eight individual ink cartridges including a photo black there's no need to swap blacks for different artistic finishes. The long-lasting, high-capacity cartridges require replacement less often.

    4 out of 5 stars Very Good Ink in VERY Small Containers.......2007-06-01

    As inks go, this appears to be very good stuff. In fact, they say it's guaranteed to last 200+ years, although I'm not sure who around me will go ask for a free cartridge if my documents or photos only last 150 years. More to the point, it DOES look great.

    On the other hand, these cartridges are around 30 bucks a piece and I need 8, so it rather irks me that the cartridges are so small. Perhaps that's a comment more appropriate for a review of the printer design, but it's worth noting here.

    Also worth noting is that you SHOULD NOT immediately replace the ink cartridge in your HP B9180 when you get a message from it saying that this or that cartridge is about to run out. I say this because, when mine said that, I checked the little meter that tells you how much is left and it said 40% of the cartridge still had ink in it. 40%! To me, 40% is not "about to run out," but I did go ahead and buy an ink cartridge -- I just held onto it until it really became obvious that it was no longer printing that color. Only then did I replace the cartridge, because doing otherwise is needlessly wasting money.

    I'm not quite cynical enough to say that HP WANTS you to replace (and recycle) the ink cartridges prematurely, but it obviously would make them more money if you do. Just keep your eyes open and you'll be fine.

    5 out of 5 stars Perfect for your studio with the HP Photosmart Pro B9180.......2007-01-14

    This is more a review of AMAZON's great service than the ink. If you own the HP B9180 then you simply Must use this ink.
    My local photo stores and office supply stores simply do not stock this ink... and ordering from other online shops id "iffy" at best. With Amazon (And an Amazon Prime account) I get super fast FREE shipping and Amazon has not been out of stock yet.

    Great service!~
