Does Hewlett Packard HP make their own ink

Does Hewlett Packard HP make their own ink & toner cartridges or do they outsource to third parties?
With all of the advertising about being "green" and to only buy "GENUINE" HP cartridges I am curious if their cartridges are actually made by Hewlett Packard. Are they made in USA or are they outsourced to China etc?

Hewlett Packard does not make their own toner cartridges or inkjet cartridges. They outsource them to Malaysia (per packaging on my HP ink here at house). Their claim to "green" isn't substantiated. Their carbon footprint alone is very high because of the long distance traveled from manufacture to end user. Also there are many other more eco-friendly options. There are companies here in the USA that manufacture high quality toners and that are also ISO 14001 certified. Google "Made In USA toner cartridge" and you will get some great options.
