Rated 1 out of 5 by Bluejacket411 from product was DOA black cartridge arrived DRY. When I installed it, I rec'd a printer generated message indicating that I should remove and reinstall cartridge. I did this 5 times and rec'd same message. I shook the cartridge and no sound of ink sloshing around. I do not know about the color cartridge. I contacted product assistance and they took the necessary steps to replace both cartridges including me having to drive to a fedex office and deliver defective product for shipment back to HP. My inconvenience of a DOA product--
