Compatible Ink Cartridge Replacement for HP 953XL 953 XL 4 Multipack (Black XL & C/M/Y) with Advanced Chip Technology to use with HP Officejet pro 7720 7730 7740 8710 8715 8720 8725 Printer

Needed replacement HP ink carts. Over £100 for the set of 4... outrageous. I've always just gone along with it to avoid the nasty HP warnings & threats. Nonetheless, when I entered the HP cartridge number into Amazon search, the list was almost entirely 3rd party alternatives, with the HP units hidden away at the bottom. So i did a little research. All (most) of the reviews were pretty positive (aren't they always), with just a few people saying they had minor issue but that these were resolved quickly by Smart Ink. Same day delivery & literally a fraction of the cost (£27) , and Amazon are always good with returns anyway, I figured I had nothing to lose. ordered the Smart Ink alternative set of XL cartridges. Box came full of simple to understand instructions plus a complete breakdown on what to do if HP errors did present themselves. Inserted cartridges, waited for the whirring to stop & there it is... "HP cannot be responsible for print quality with non HP products". Great!. Picked OK & that was it... no more error messages, screen went into standard mode, ran a print & bingo,,, quality is just fine. No more error messages. It just works. Would I recommend? You bet! Saved over £80!

Thees are working and are very good price comparison g to another. I had a problem but their customer service fixed it straight away!

I've been using this ink product for 6mths now. The ink itself is of great quality, and I love the product. I thought I would have issues with step up, as it didn't work the first time I installed, but on letting the company know they promptly sent me a replacement, which I set up much more easily 2nd time round. Since then our printer had a malfunction, and since wouldn't recognise the ink cartridges. Got back onto the support chat and fixed!! Before I had even run the Andrew suggested. This company really does have lightening customer service, and they are so pleasant and friendly to deal with! Highly recommend.

24/7 help if your cartridges don't work first time.. they are really great on the support side and the cartridges are just like the HP ones .. great value for money!

FINAL UPDATE: No more chasing phantom ink problem. **Full refund provided. Great service. Fast response. Good by HP. Forever. UPDATE 2024-02-04: new 4pk carts from SmartInk (HP 7740) SUMMARY: Had it all working and printing... Then hours later, HP7740 got upset spouting every error it could muster! So inserted all SmartInk colours - all OK! Apart from one non-reading cartridge chip (to be confirmed) **** SmartInk LiveChat response - fast and brilliant! **** IMPORTANT: you will need a earlier firmware version!! And disable auto-update. Our printer has version: EDWINXPP1N002.1849A.00 (and is recommended by SmartInk). DETAILS: Had it printing OK after inserting a Magenta SmartInk HP953XL cartridge! However... This upset HP, as the next morning (with no printing activity), the 7740 complained about a different cartridge altogether!? Tried reinserting, power off, contacts cleaned, etc etc (as per online and SmartInk instructions!) All the various error messages listed and online appeared! Plus a new error: "This printer is not designed to use continuous ink systems. To resume printing, remove continuous ink system and install original HP (or compatible) cartridges." Learning point: may be don't mix non-HP brands?? Then, inserted all SmartInk colour catridges, keeping the HP Black. All SmartInk cartridges accepted! With the exception of the Magenta!? (yes, the one that worked for 8 magenta test pages). SmartInk suspect this was a non-readable/intermittent chip. LiveChat: responded in seconds, verified order etc. When through a few items, but I'd already completed those (and more). So Kevin agreed to ship replacements. Comment: HP have paid out $millions in out-of-court settlements for this (apparent) activity, which could be interpreted as blocking the use of non-HP ink! Dear HP, the "hate me less" ad compaign was hilarious! Just cut the ink prices to 30-40%, and we'd probably have stayed with HP. Goodbye HP. Just hope the replacement Magenta works! Since my firmware was already downgraded, and upgrades blocked, I decided to block the printer's access to the internet too (and WiFi off) - in case it's communicating that way (i.e. added a Firewall rule, using the printers (static!) IP address) ORIGINAL POST: Print quality is pretty good. A quality product it seems. NB: Only installed Magenta & printed 2 pages: so not a long-term score! Be prepared to bypass the HP 'rejection of non-HP ink' errors !!! eg "Incompatible ink error": this is HP's doing, not restricted to Smart Ink. Downgrade the firmware? Do this by finding a previous version of printer firmware (see online). There should be a previous version that does NOTt outrightly reject 'non-HP' ink cartridges! Install the firmware. Then... also disable the automatic firmware updating! See instructions supplied in Smart Ink box!!! NB: I had already done this 2-3 years ago, so as to use ink from Cartridge People (who guarantee compatibility btw, but is higher cost) Extra guidance: "System Supply Issue": this may be the ink-channel in the printhead running 'empty' or dry. Remove the printhead, remove cartridges. Ink will spread - cover areas etc etc. Inspect back of the cartridge slots within the printhead: small containers at back should have fluid, visible when tilted etc. Use a torch. If one ink slot is 'dry', insert the problem cartridge/colour. Have the printhead on its back. Allow gravity (and squeeze of the cartridge?) to get some ink back in the printhead. You may need to use Iso-alchohol spray to clean up. At your own risk. Refit the printhead in the printer. Power On: should align and clean printhead. Repeat this cycle until it prints the alignment test page. Print something to test the colours. Worked for me, but might not for you. At your own risk. Alternative for me, was a new printer (which WILL NEVER BE AN H-P AGAIN!)

Brilliant service, great price. First set had a glitch with my HP software, but Smart Ink sent out a new set and replied to qeries within minutes.

5 stars for now. There is a clear instruction how to set up you printer to accept these compatible cartridges. Had additional question, gave them a ring, was everything explained in a matter of seconds, and I have sorted all the rest by myself. Will see how long it will last now

Reconditioned cartridges not compatible with the printer, but Alyssa @ Smart Ink offered to send replacements within minutes of raising a query. After a lot of inserting, reinserting, cleaning, got the replacement cartridges to work. Much cheaper than the genuine HP parts, but a lot of extra work.

I needed to contact support and they were fast and great to deal with. Ink did the job once i got it up and going.

Super service, après réception des nouvelles cartouches, il y avait un problème de compatibilité, ils ont pris en charge mon souci et m’ont renvoyé les cartouches. Tout fonctionne très bien ; à recommander

Ho acquistato questo set di cartucce Smart Ink compatibili HP 953XL e sono rimasto davvero soddisfatto. L’installazione è stata molto semplice: la stampante le ha riconosciute immediatamente senza alcun problema. Consiglio sicuramente questo prodotto a chi cerca un’alternativa economica ma affidabile alle cartucce originali. Personalmente le ricomprerò senza esitazione. La qualità di stampa è ottima, con colori vividi e neri ben definiti, perfetti sia per documenti che per immagini. Anche dopo diverse stampe la resa rimane costante e professionale. Un altro punto molto positivo è la durata delle cartucce, che sembra davvero buona rispetto ad altre compatibili che ho provato in passato. Il rapporto qualità-prezzo è eccellente: con un costo molto più basso rispetto alle cartucce originali HP, si ottengono comunque risultati di alto livello.

Es sind tatsächlich die ersten Druckpatronen nach vielen Jahren, die genauso gut von der Qualität wie die originalen und dabei utopisch günstig sind. Habe den HP Pro 7720 Drucker damit in Betrieb.
