It is not completely clear to me by the description - are these cartridges full or empty?

They're full. They're just not brand name but other than that it's an amazing deal. I'm using them now

Yes I would definately say they are filled with a respective amount of ink. I purchased the XL version of the cartridges and printed 100 full color full page bleed prints with only a small drop in ink levels

I've been trying to find the same thing out for myself. An empty cartridge that I can refill? Anyone have any input?

To the best of my knowledge, they are simply used cartridge containers refilled. Like one respondent commented, sometimes they work well, sometimes not at all. I used to get my new cartridges refilled when they ran dry at a local store that did refills -- no waiting for them to be mailed and no shipping cost and they were inexpensive compared to new. The store stopped doing the refills -- no profit in it for them. I just search locally for the best price for new -- no bad cartridges to frustrate me and money lost in the process. I will say, however, every now and then (if I'm feeling lucky), I may buy them online. Hope this helps. To the best of my knowledge, they are simply used cartridge containers refilled.

They are full of ink, all that it is said is true. All five different cartridges are full. CHECK THE SELLERS REVIEWS before buying.

I can not say exactly, buy the cartridges are ok. I had bad experience with only one of them

I don't know. You'd have to ask the company selling the cartridges, not the customers.

Funny! No but the previous "used" cartridges I have used in the past didn't produce as many prints as the original, but I paid for "new" cartridges not used and I wasn't made aware of the fact . Besides that wasn't a very professional question to ask a customer but obviously you don't care.

These are not demo cartridges. These are the full regular ones just got em!

I don't know. I just know that when I put the ink in my printer that it showed empty. I would not waste my money on them.

I don't know how much ink is in the cartridges, but they are all marked 98 and sealed. That is what I ordered.

they are full cartridges, they do not come with refill ink. They worked great for our office i would purchase again from this vendor.

The cartridges should be the same size, but they may be a different color. As for the weight, they can seem a bit light, but if you compare them to a cartridge that you know to be empty they should be heavier.

There is ink in them. You insert them as you would a regular cartridge. The ones I bought have lasted a long time and well worth the money.

Yes they do. The driver app on the PC detects the cartridge change and shows it as full. It even has the little light on each cartridge. :)

I was just speaking with an HP sales rep @ OfficeMax this afternoon. I don't know about the cables, but he finally admitted to me that the 4 ink cartridges that come with the printer (black, red, yellow, blue) are indeed full size cartridges (the plastic part) but HP doesn't FILL them up for inclusion with new printers. You can consider the ink a "starter pak". He couldn't/wouldn't tell me if they were 1/2 full, or 1/3 full, or less...but that they were "enough to get started". I've decided NOT to purchase a new HP printer. When I have finally gotten tired of purchasing cartridge after cartridge after cartridge, and never getting the advertised yield of pages from any of them, I will search for a new printer from someone else. HP doesn't work for my loyalty as they once did.

Yes, these are the higher capacity cartridges. I did not have the issues some of the customers did.
