The service from this company SmartInk is incredible!

5 out of 5 stars

The service from this company SmartInk is incredible!
I had the exact error message on my HP printer that SmartInk referenced. Alexa stayed on the chat until the issue was resolved. I was uncertain of the viability of a non-oem cartridge but was pleasantly surprised. Alexa even sent me replacements since one cartridge showed low. I will always use SmartInk! At half the price and great service, you must try them.

Thank you for your feedback

Sorry, there was an error

    Initially, the ink cartridges didn't work, due to HP's updates. I called Orly and they provided me with a code to fix the issue. The colored ink initially worked fine, but, the black cartridge didn't work at all. I called them back, they sent me a brand new set of ink. Works great, print quality is excellent. Just as good, in my opinion as the HP ink at roughly 3 times the cost. While I saved money with this ink, I must say, their customer service is exceptional and totally worth 5 stars. The speed at which they responded to both my calls was amazing. I will definitely be purchasing this ink in in the future for all my printing needs.

    This product shipped same day and in great condition. Very reasonable price compared to others. Install was simple and compatible for my HP Inkjet 6869. I had an issue with print quality, so I used the companies chat feature and they helped me resolve the problem in a few minutes. After that, my first print is great quality. Recommend.

    Didn't work with my HP 6500 printer but we were ready for a new printer anyway so I bought a new one for my husband who is 92 years old and developing Alzheimer's and fixated on printing photo's out from his old memories. I give it 5 stars because your response and consideration were all top notch, and I will and would deal with your company again. thank you for all you have done for me. Everything but the Cyan color printer out top quality.


  • Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2025

    I purchased this item due to the ridiculous cost of the manufacturer's ink. Of course, my printer rejected the replacement cartridge. One simple phone call to Smart Ink (phone number provided in the package) resolved the issue. A short phone call and an email with idiot proof instructions later – all is working fine. Print quality is indistinguishable from the manufacturers' ink. We own our printers and should be able to use whatever ink we choose. All of the stars to Smart Ink. Highly recommend.

    It works great. It is a big savings over HP, and the cartridges look great. If there are compatibility problems, if you call them there are immediate fixes you can do to solve them. Customer support is available 24/7, even on Super Bowl Sunday! And they had my issue resolved in less than 10 minutes.

    Had issues with my printer accepting the cartridges. The customer representative Alice was very helpful and patient when providing me with multiple ways to fix my issue and waiting for me try each solution.
    The product it's self works and looks great.

    I have ordered several times and the cartridges have worked perfectly. This time, however, I had a problem with one in the set. After following the instructions in FAQ, I contacted customer service chat. Alyssa immediately recognized my problem and after verifying purchase info, she ordered a replacement of the entire cartridge set to be shipped immediately. I am hopeful that this will take care of my problem. Prices are great, too, so no need to shop around anymore. Thanks!


  • Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2025

    I ordered the ink because the HP ink prices are ridiculous at well over $120 for the black and colored XL cartridges. When the Smart Ink came, they wouldn't work with my printer as the printer had updated software. Because I have a Mac and not a PC, I couldn't "back date" my printer using the instructions. I called the listed support number and they were very helpful and expedited shipping me the ink that was specifically updated for my MAC and printer. After loading the new cartridges, it was still giving me a message that a couple of the colors didn't read properly. I unplugged the printer and after a minute I plugged it back in. It took several minutes to read the ink, but when it rebooted, it worked fine. The ink is great and for a fraction of the cost of HP ink!!

    Didn't work, they were identified as non-compatible non-original

    Reviewed in Australia on October 10, 2022

    I have purchased them before and they worked well. I was so happy with them that I purchased another box a couple of months ago to have on hand when needed. I just went to use them on the weekend and the new box of cartridges is not recognised by my HP printer. What has changed?? What can I do? I have googled and tried all the tricks, but my printer still doesn't recognise the chips.

    I have been getting the Smart Ink compatible cartridges for over 2 years now and can say they are just as good as HP original cartridges and at a far more reasonable cost. For the first time my computer would not recognize the cartridge, I went online to the customer care area in contact us on the Smart Ink site and Anna came on in less than a minute and sent me the link to correct the issue. Can not say enough wonderful things about these cartridges and this company. I would recommend them to anyone!
