I'd highly recommend anyone trying to 'low ball' these cartridges on price to watch out how old these cartridges are and when you're going to use them. I just tried both cartridges and 4 of each 5 lines of print is showing a faded print quality. I've run the clean cartridge numerous times and pulled them both out and re-aligned them 2-3 times. Since I purchased these cartridges earlier this year and on May 1st, the return policy expired, I have no recourse but to purchase a new cartridge from some other source. An expensive mistake which I will not repeat again with this supplier.
