Run a non-profit, tried the refills and darn near ruined my printer. The three-pack helps keep costs lower, recycling saves you another $3 - or $9 per 3-pack, [...] Gets the cost per toner cartridge down close to the refiller, but with the assurance that it won't fail on you.

Replaced empty print cartridges with new ones, Lost all color quality. It is nobodys fault but I just dropped [$] on toner and no one wants to replace them for free.

Because our nearest Staples is 100 miles away these packages make it easy to always have a fresh one on hand. We can't just run down the street and get a new replacement. The shipping-paid auto-return mailer makes disposal easy and quick via UPS. The bundles of two black makes it easy too.

Comments about HP 124A Color Toner Cartridges (CE257A), Combo 3/Pack:

if you have the appropriate printer (ours is a 2605dn), then you're not going to have a lot of choice on cartridges. buying new (not refurbished) cartridges has always worked best for us: when we deviate from that norm, we have been rewarded with short-endurance and other problems. stick with the original equipment manufacturer, and at least you get consistent results.
the combo pack is the way to go. some times a better deal than others (even at staples); yet the cartridges do seem to run down at pretty much the same rate.
might or might not buy the same printer again. but as long as we have this printer, i'll keep getting these cartridges for it.

  • Q:

    I am interested in purchasing the 3 pack, though I do not need the magenta at this time. Do the ink cartridges have an expiration date? Does it matter if the ink cartridge sits for 6 months before using?
    Asked on 11/30/2009 by Marty from RICHMOND, VA

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      With a toner cartridge it is ok for it to sit for 6 months.

      Answered on 1/4/2010 by Customer Care from Staples
    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      Six months is definitely not a problem, as long as you store the cartridges in a sensible place - no sunny window sills, or on top of the radiator, or in the freezer. I've bought in bulk in the past, and have had cartridges sit on a shelf for a year.

      Answered on 12/30/2009 by Rich K from UC, NJ
    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      Hi Marty: The ink cartridge will not expire in that short a time period. Normally they can be stored for a couple of years before you need to check them out, as long as the cover strip is over the head and the packing is kept intact. (Each cartridge in the 3-pack is individually packaged). As to an expiration date -- I have never seen one of the package.

    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      It should not be a problem if you store the cartridge in a place that is neither overly cold nor hot and has reasonable humidity. I store them for longer than you intend to and I have never had a problem.

      Answered on 5/25/2010 by Ron the Realtor from Port St. Lucie, FL
    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      Marty,

      I'm not certian, but I have had the same issue and if you think the old cartridge will expire in about 60 days, I'd go for it. I have had product sitting on the shelf at least that long before installing. Otherwise, just use more magenta.

      Answered on 6/24/2010 by d from rochester, ny
    • VERIFIED BUYER

      A:

      I purchase this same way and sometimes have a cartridge sit around for a few months. They are vacuum sealed and I do not believe they have an expiration date. No problems keping extra supply on hand.

      Answered on 12/1/2010 by Realtor Marketer from Columbus, OH
  • Q:

    We never print in color but the ink seem to get drained really fast. Does the colored ink get used for black and white prints?
    Asked on 11/24/2009 by jennifer from burbank, california

    1 answer

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      The color is used when there is color in the document. If you do not want it to print any color you can set the printer to print in gray scale.

  • Q:

    Are the HP Toner Cartridges remanufactured or recycled?
    Asked on 11/10/2009 by Anonymous

    1 answer

    • CUSTOMER CARE

      A:

      HP cartridges that Staples sell are made and sold as new cartridges. The plastics used during manufacturing may contain a partially recycled content but the cartridge itself is new.

      Answered on 12/29/2009 by Customer Care rep Joe from Staples
  • Q:

    Are the individual color toner cartridges in this 3-pack exactly the same as the color cartridges that you buy as individuals? The individual cartridge descriptions say "yields up to 2,500 pages." The 3-pack description says, "Each cartridge yields up to 2,000 pages." If the 3-pack cartridges have 20% less toner, then they are not a cost savings over purchasing the individual cartridges.
    Asked on 10/27/2009 by Anonymous

    1 answer

    • A:

      Only the black cartridge claims to have 2500 copies. The colors each say 2000, so this product should be the same.

      Answered on 11/1/2009 by Steve from Glendale, NY
  • Q:

    Is there one of each color in the multi-pack? (One cyan, one magenta and one yellow?) I don't want a multi-pack with three cartridges of only one color. Please clarify.

      Yes, the multi-pack has all 3 colors. You only have to buy black separately.
