As I posted previously, I purchased a laser cartridge for my printer and a complete set of inks for FirstBorn’s color printer from ComboInk.  At the time, I wasn’t desperate for ink, but the thought of escaping another $72 Staples purchase was oddly appealing.  I’d never heard of/used ComboInk but several positive emails/comments tipped the scales.

Delivery was exceedingly fast and my laser cartridge was very, very well packaged.  Almost identical to HP, I’d say.  Had a bit of difficulty inserting the new cartridge, until dumbass realized I hadn’t taken out the old cartridge yet – – oh, well.  Printing at first was slightly “dusty.”  I’m sure there is a technical term for this, but my conclusion is that there was extra ink that was coating the sheet ever so slightly.  Thankfully, this was the only issue and only at the very beginning.

Would I buy from ComboInk again? In a heartbeat.  As I posted, both the laser cartridge and complete set of inks was 2/3 of the cost of the laser cartridge alone at Staples. First time customers: Get $10 off your purchase of $65.  Use code NEW10.  And since you’re also getting FREE shipping on orders of $50 or more…
