Summary: hp "scams" customers; not full ink tanks
Comment: Thought this was an excellent value when I ordered it. BUT . . . nowhere is the information shown that you are NOT getting full "tanks" of ink. I purchased two of these packages because of the "bundle" price. What one receives is a bit less of a bargain than first imagined: the custom ink cartridges are standard hp units -- but filled to only 60%- 70% of their normal capacity. I.e., will print ~ 150 photos instead of ~240... (Note -- this was confirmed by hp support after an hour-long phone call!) Shame on hp for perpetrating this fraud on its customers! Shame on Amazon for not doing its homework and passing on this fraud w/o warning its customers. CAVEAT EMPTOR (buyer beware) is not the slogan I have associated with Amazon on other products and past purchases!

Summary: Amazon price mistake~ Here is the math :
Comment: On the HP Photo Value Pack, the package states 24 cents per photo. The package includes 150 sheets of photo paper.
24 cents x 150 sheets equals $36.00
As I write this, the price above is listed as:
List Price: $47.15
Price: $35.99
You Save: $11.16 (24%)
The "list price" of 47.15 would not add up to .24 cents per photo !
I always understood the list price to be set by the manufacturer (HP), which in this case would not match the promotional packaging(also HP)
The Amazon "sale" price of 35.99, should be the list price.
I hope this is not deception on the part of Amazon.

I have found that these HP Photo Value Packs are subject to some deceptive marketing on the web because buyers understandably think that they are getting standard volume ink cartridges in the deal.
Also on a popular auction site, The HP Photo Value Packs are opened, and the 150 sheets of photo paper, and ink cartridge sets sold separately.
So although they are genuine HP ink, some believe that they are buying standard full cartridges.
The ink in the HP Photo Value Packs are "custom" cartridges, meaning they are filled with only enough ink to print 150 photos.
The standard HP individual cartridge (from the HP website):
HP 02 Light Cyan Ink Cartridge (C8774WN#140), and
HP 02 Light Magenta Ink Print Cartridge (C8775WN#140),
are listed at 240 photos.
So without the original box, you can not easily know if you are buying a much lower volume of ink.
Beware of sellers~ Amazon or auctions who may let you believe that the ink tanks you are buying are the standard full ones.
Here is a clue to watch for in auctions where sellers have the unboxed (but individually sealed) sets of ink:
The sets from opened HP Photo Value Packs will have 6 tanks. If Black is included in the set, ask questions, it may be from a HP Photo Value Pack.
Black is often sold separately, for example, 5 tanks in this HP Combo Pack: HP 02 Inkjet Print Cartridge Color Combo Pack (CC604FN#140)

Comment: I knew the ink would be okay,my review is really on amazon,their service and delivery time are #1,no matter what I've ordered,from computers to books,the items arrive in perfect shape and always either before or by the promised time.
If you are hesitant at all to shop online and you SHOULD BE at some sites,Amazon is not one of them,they are the best...shop away with peace of mind.
