What does it mean when it says "generic packaging." Is it HP or not?

That is a good question..... the advertising says it is made by HP, but the battery itself does not have "HP" printed anywhere on it that I could see. Other than that is was identical to the HP battery that came with my computer. It is a bit confusing, I guess you have to trust the provider that it is an HP, even though it isn't printed on the battery. I have had no problems with this generically packaged battery in the few months I have had it.

It is not HP! my battery exploded I send it to HP so they could take responsibility for the damages, but they said it was not manufactured by them, that it was a third party.

I am guessing that you order on line. The cartridges I ordered with my printer through Amazon came in original HP packaging.

No differences. Just different SKUs. Vendors do that a lot to give illusion of exclusivity to some merchants. The differences in specs on HP site can all be attributed to different way of entering the same info. In other words, whoever entered specs on the Web Site has a PEBKAC syndrome (Problem Exists Between Keyboard and Chair).

I would say generic knock-off, although the term sounds more derogatory than necessary. They came six in a clear plastic bag, with no brand labeling. However, I have found them to be completely compatible, and totally satisfactory. No quality issues, in my experience.

Mine came in HP packaging, wrap and literature - no indication of any other manufacturer being involved.

Print Heads are marked genuine HP. But they are not packaged in the oem box. They are sealed in an HP packet and marked genuine HP print heads. They work well for our HP printer 8500 premuim plus.

Usually means it is not in the original box. If you are buying a REPACK at the normal discounted price, make sure it is not a used piece.

When i bought it it came in a Canon blister package. I guess it means it's Canon brand and not generic, packed for retail, like if you were buying it in a store.

It is HP's product. Yes it works very well, as it is the same as the newer packaging.

The "install by" date is basically the deadline date for returning a faulty cartridge. My company has three printers that use these and we have used some after the date printed on the box with no problems. If a problem would have occurred with the expiredd (according to the date on the box) cartridge, my company would have been liable and not HP or the vendor where the cartridge was purchased.

Hi! Retail packaging is the kind of packaging you are going to find if you go into a store and buy a product. When someone on-line says "retail packaging," you can be quite sure it's the real deal and not some knock-off product posing as the real deal. Buying ink on-line can be a tricky business because so many vendors deal in third party manufactures--people who make the ink to fit certain printers. If they say "retail packaging" and show you a picture, you can be quite sure it's what is sold in the stores.

When I bought mine it arrived in the original HP packaging and it was an original HP ink cartridge

I sent it to my customer. I believe it is in a different box - brown, with HP parts inside. Since it is a Kit it is some times common this way. Original box for resale would probably cost more.

The ones I received were in original HP packaging. My printer will not take anything else without giving error message so I never try any other product.

Yes. They have been rebranded so the printer thinks they are Orignal HP Cartridges.

The cartridges come in original HP packaging. I've not had any trouble with them.

Yes, as I recall this was in HP packaging. Everything you need was in the box. Works great!
