About this product
This offering includes two genuine HP 61 black ink cartridges for inkjet printers, packaged in sealed boxes. These original HP cartridges are compatible with various HP models that use the 61 series and were manufactured in China. The listed expiration date for these units is December 2015, indicating they are well past their official shelf life.
Our take
Purchasing a two-pack of genuine HP 61 black ink cartridges for under $20 seems like a deal at first glance. These are original HP cartridges, so in principle, they should offer the best compatibility and quality for your HP inkjet printer. However, the critical detail here is the December 2015 expiration date. While they're sealed, ink can dry out or degrade over time, leading to potential clogging or subpar print quality. For basic, non-critical printing, they might work, but relying on ink that's nearly a decade old carries significant risk of frustration and wasted effort.
