1. For daily printing they work great. The difference is marginal but for printing on photo paper the HP cartridges give you slightly better results.
2. Some do , some don't. Few pointers. Buy your remanufactured cartridges from reputable companies . Companies that have been in business a few years, with BBB membership etc... A couple www.printcountry.com , www. Inkjetcartridge.com , www.carrotink.com . Also if you talk to them ask them if it is a virgin cartridge (meaning it is only remanuftured once before and that is it). Also best to not buy a whole lot at the same time. First try to place.
3. Some work , some dont . Make sure you buy your recycled ink cartridges from a place that has some reputation. Check the reviews of the store and such. There are many articles about how to choose a place to buy. About your question, I can say this. They are 90% almost as good as the genuine cartridges. 5-10% not so, and might need troubleshooting, cleaning etc... But still with the savings you would make in that 90+% you are good. My disappoinments were usually from not being able to return the cartridges because I bought them from the wrong place. THe above person makes a good point, make sure the place you buy is a BBB member, and their rating is good. Don't believe the coupon or review sites, most of the time they get commission from those online stores so they dont really care .
