 Very Good Ink in VERY Small Containers Jun 01, 2007
By Greg Robertson
As inks go, this appears to be very good stuff. In fact, they say it's guaranteed to last 200+ years, although I'm not sure who around me will go ask for a free cartridge if my documents or photos only last 150 years. More to the point, it DOES look great.
On the other hand, these cartridges are around 30 bucks a piece and I need 8, so it rather irks me that the cartridges are so small. Perhaps that's a comment more appropriate for a review of the printer design, but it's worth noting here.
Also worth noting is that you SHOULD NOT immediately replace the ink cartridge in your HP B9180 when you get a message from it saying that this or that cartridge is about to run out. I say this because, when mine said that, I checked the little meter that tells you how much is left and it said 40% of the cartridge still had ink in it. 40%! To me, 40% is not "about to run out," but I did go ahead and buy an ink cartridge -- I just held onto it until it really became obvious that it was no longer printing that color. Only then did I replace the cartridge, because doing otherwise is needlessly wasting money.
I'm not quite cynical enough to say that HP WANTS you to replace (and recycle) the ink cartridges prematurely, but it obviously would make them more money if you do. Just keep your eyes open and you'll be fine.

By D. Farley
Amazon sent me an email asking me to review this yellow ink cartridge. It sure was yellow. If you need yellow, this is the ink cartridge for you.
HP pigment ink is a winner Feb 04, 2012
By M. Atchison
I print my best photos on an HP9180 Photosmart Pro printer that requires HP38 pigment ink cartridges -- printing 13x19 edge-to-edge pictures on HP archival paper. The pictures are then framed and most are donated to local charities as silent auction items for fundraising. On the Certificate of Authenticity that accompanies each picture I am proud to be able to point out the special difference that pigment ink makes: an estimated 2 centuries without fading, nearly waterproof, vivid colors, etc. The combination of award-winning photos and high-class printing helps the agencies get top dollar in their auctions.
HP #38 Ink Cartridges Sep 29, 2011
By Betty G. Arnold

My printer uses 8 HP #38 ink cartridges in various colors. I am a photographer who does lots of printing. I order my ink from Amazon all the time and have never been disappointed in the quality or the timeliness in receiving my orders. The ink prices are consistently the best I have found.
Burning up the inks! Mar 09, 2010

Wonderful HP printer but it runs through the inks even when not regularly used. Expensive printer to maintain!
