The GT 53 XL (Black) + GT 52 (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta) 4-pack bundle promises high-capacity, high-quality printing. This review delves into the real-world performance of this ink set, focusing on its compatibility with the HP DeskJet GT 5810 and 5820 printers. Having used this ink extensively, I’m ready to share my comprehensive experience and insights.

Beyond the impressive page yield (advertised up to 16000 pages), this bundle includes a bonus: a stylish 3-in-1 pen – a touch pointer, mobile stand, and stylus. While a nice addition, the main draw is undeniably the ink itself. The setup is straightforward, a significant plus for those less technically inclined. Installation was quick and painless, even for a novice.

The print quality lived up to the expectations. The colors are vibrant and sharp, particularly noticeable in photo prints. I tested various document types, including text-heavy documents, presentations, and photographs. The black ink produced crisp, clean text, even at smaller font sizes. Color gradients were smooth and accurate, and there was no noticeable banding or streaking. The claimed 16,000-page yield is impressive, although my usage hasn’t reached that point yet. Early indications suggest the claim is realistic under typical usage.

I did notice a slightly slower print speed than some other ink sets I’ve used, though this is a minor drawback compared to the overall print quality and longevity. I printed several hundred pages of various types without issue, the quality consistently delivering. The inclusion of the 3-in-1 pen is a surprising yet welcome addition – it’s surprisingly functional and well-made.

Pros:

• Vivid and high-resolution prints.
• Easy installation.
• High page yield (claimed 16,000 pages).
• Includes a useful 3-in-1 pen.
• Excellent value for money.

Cons:

• Slightly slower print speed compared to some alternatives.
• Long-term durability of the ink needs further testing to confirm the full 16000 pages.

Overall, the GT 53 XL (Black) + GT 52 (Cyan, Yellow, Magenta) 4-pack bundle is a strong contender in the high-capacity ink market. The exceptional print quality, ease of use, and generous page yield make it an excellent choice for home or small office use. While the slightly slower print speed is a minor concern, it’s easily outweighed by the other benefits. I would confidently recommend this ink set to anyone needing reliable, high-quality printing at a competitive price. The bonus pen is a delightful unexpected feature. I’m looking forward to completing the 16000 pages to verify the full claim.
