Poor reproduction of flesh tones with this cartridge
By A37UU7LD4MWAJQ on 2005-05-10
I was unhappy with the results with the 'six color' printing that occurs when you swap this cartridge for the no. 94 (black) cartridge. I put this in my machine (HP6210) and printed a test on HP paper. I printed a second picture when a put the no. 94 cartridge back (in effect making it a 'four color' device, which is what you would normally have in the printer). The same picture looked better when printed with the four colors. Most notable were the flesh tones-MUCH more lifelike. I would hold off on spending $24 for one of these, primarily because the result is not worth it, but also because the manner which HP designs the ink set-up. It's kind of a nuisance to have to swap out the black cartridge, because if you forget to put it back, you'll end up with a very high cost-per-page for regular printing of documents.
worked well for me
By A2DJBB092JF5I3 on 2005-05-12
Printing from photoshop elements 3 (both the organizer portion and the editing portion) produced an image that was very close to the screen colors of my calibrated screen. I'm using a laptop which I calibrated with photocal. I chose the correct paper and ink setup in the driver AND made sure to go into printer properties and select for the application to manage color. The prints matched the screen...no problem.(including skintones) The cartridge also includes a plastic cover to cover up the nozzle when you store it. So you can change out cartridges all you want, just put the cover on it and things will be fine.
Now, to the negatives....the cartridge is small, and the default driver setting is for something called colorsmart color matching. ugh....hideous. Set it for the program to handle it instead. I have no idea how many 8x10 prints I'll get out of this cart, but I've printed about 20 so far today.
FWIW, I didn't use HP's image editing software since I own elements. These settings worked like a champ in elements, but I have no idea about how other programs will work. This was also with a hp2710 all in one printer.
Tough Call
By A1IO09D3ZPI1AZ on 2005-09-13
I printed the same photo with the photo on an HP 6840 using 99 phot ink cartridge, then the standard black 96 and then 96 w/o HP enhancements. At first I thought the 96 was better than 99 because I got beter red saturation, until I realized that the red hue was stronger throughout the photo at the sacrifice of some green and whites that were not as brite.
With out the HP enhancements, the 2 photos looked similar to my naked eye, but under magnification I could clearly see more eveness and saturation of color With the enhancements.
A helpful option for photo printing
By A3MST6LPBXTVFT on 2006-10-31
Just bought one of these to try out for photo printing with an HP 5740 that came bundled with my computer a few years ago.
Printing from RAW (NEF actually) files with a 96 and 97 combination gave me skin tones that were too heavily red saturated. This is less of an issue with JPEG files.
I generally had to go into the levels tool in Photoshop and pull back the reds some for most portraits. Not so with the 99 cartridge in place.
We'll see how many prints I can squeeze out of one of these.
Frankly I see this as a stop gap solution for photo printing. Printers that use multicolor ink cartridges waste a lot of ink when used as dedicated photo printers.
As soon as I can put together the dough I plan to add an Epson 2400 and use it strictly for photography.
Ink will never be cheap but at least when I run out of red I won't be throwing away what's left of two other colors.
Still this does expand the usefulness of compatible HP printers.
Good product
By A2TF3QPUDNTYTK on 2007-01-11
HP cartridges are the way to go. The only downfall is that if you decide to purchase a cartridge when you DON'T need it, chances are that by the time you use this product, the cartridge itself may not work in your printer (say three months from the day of purchase).
HP is awesome about cartridge replacement. So if it takes a dump, call HP!
