Not sure are ink cartridges full or empty

PTH2009

Got these from 123ink a while back and because there unofficial cartridges I can't check them on my HP Photosmart 5510 series

I'm not sure are they 2 sided cartridges because there seems to be a lot of colour on one side . Tried printing with them in and noting appeared on the pages

HP are right baxtards for non HP cartridges

Whole thing is scam.

EU should tackle how wasteful the industry is.

They are empty, you can just see a sponge on the other side which has been coloured by the ink but you've used every drop of ink.

To be fair these are the least scammy type of cartridge since they are clear with little or no electronics and you don't have to replace the print-heads every time like "cheaper" printers.

And a lot more complex inside - assumed it would be mostly sponge...
