but I was actually just lamenting the decrease in ink deals on SD...so keep them coming
Used to have posts often enough I could always stay ahead of my needs but been a dry spell recently.
The only thing HP "improved", as of late, is their instant ink program. Though, the instant ink program is actually a decent deal. The only thing I don't care for is what HP considers a printed "page". For instance, if you print a page with just one character, HP will consider that a page and deduct it from your allotment.
Still, if you do the math, it's a excellent program to get their official ink from. You basically wont pay more than $60 a year for ink if you join their "moderate, 100 pages monthly" plan. Even if you go crazy, and print hundreds of extra pages, that put you over your allotment, it's still an excellent deal compared to outright buying cartridges. For example, you could probably eek out 500 pages on a full set of cartridges that cost $90. Now, if you went over your allotment, and got stuck paying for $1 per 15 pages, it would only cost you about $35 to print another 500 pages, which is about a third of the cost compared to buying another full set of cartridges.
I gave up on 3rd party inks. Colors aren't the greatest, and the last set of inks I bought ruined my print head. I'm not sure if it was the inks or the print head that borked up, but I'm done with 3rd party, and I've gone the instant ink path.

Yeah totally agree with you. I would say instant ink would be the only thing I would use if I printed photos. The costs savings would be quite massive.
As for me, I've given up on ink jets altogether. I have an Epson Ecotank and see myself using my HP laser much more because it is faster to operate, the colors are vivid and text is sharper than any inkjet I've used and best of all the generics are $60 a set for 5000 pages color and 6500 pages B&W. With my LaserJet I actually get more pages than states by the printer so it's a win win. I've printed close to 3500 pages with the generics and 9000 total on the printer. It just keeps going strong. I average about 500 pages a month so instant ink was quite pricey in that regard but for photo printing it's a steal. The one thing my laser can't do is print photos on glossy paper. For that I rely on the ecotank which prints exceptionally well on glossy paper.
Some will say to go the color laser route, but DAMN...the cost to replace those cartridges with official toner is insane, which is why I never went that route.

I agree, I had same problem with this set I used and print head is not working now.
Thanks.
I have an 8600 pro and I had to go through an entire thing of ink with the third party ink to clean out the mixture of the original and new ink. Aftermarket ink and original ink don't play nicely with each other. I then turned up the quality to best and it's been running strong 3 years later. Sorry your having trouble but I've found when I was having issues I reached out to the company who made the ink and they send me 3x the kit I ordered and some tips on cleaning the print head and what not. I call that customer service. And sure enough the streaking issue cleared out. I think the brand is called Kingjet. I'm not sure what brands you used.
