Once you've used a toner printer you will say "SO LONG" to ink jet. The quality is absolute, my documents have never popped like they do when using toner based printing and NO MESS... Granted, toner is expensive and I seem to go through a cartridge very rapidly, however, if you do the math sheet for sheet the price for ink vs. toner is about the same. The bonus is the quality, it can't be beat. Once you have a laser printer do a couple of things when selecting toner #1 NEVER BUY REFILLS OR COMPATIBLE CARTRIDGES, always stick with OEM. #2 Be patient and wait for sale and reward programs, you can save a lot of cash and get toner at bargain prices. #3 set your printer to specific print jobs, don't just default everything. The black is so sharp with toner you can actually print in grayscale and save those color cartridges.

Comments about HP CB540A Black Toner Cartridge:

I had to have this cartridge but the price mademe hesitate. If I absolutely had not had to make this purchase I wouldn't have. I have a clearer understanding of why people use the recycled cartridges.

It was easy to find in the store and easy to replace in the machine which was a definite plus.

It prints really well and the cartridge should have a really long life which will help the cost go down a little easier.

Comments about HP CB540A Black Toner Cartridge:

The HP CB540A Black Toner Cartridge by HP is a consistant product. I always find it on the shelf. I never have an issue with the product working....easily drops into place. I like that I can recycle the cartridge at the store. The cartridge is not messy...I have a nice rug right in front of my desk and printer and never worry about it. It is a mysterious contraption. You can not see with your eyes if it is full or empty. I depend on the computer giving me a pop-up message to know when to change it out. I hope it is really empty when it stops working...there is never a "last printing" that is faded. I don't like that the whole printer will not work if one of the 4 cartridges is empty. It would be nice to just print in black when my cyan runs out, but I have to drive to the store to get a cyan cartridge to print a black typed school report due the next day. All in all the product is fantastic...just a bit pricy.

HP toners are great--easy to install, good black printing, long lasting. My only wish is that they wouldn't be so expensive. Other than that, I'm a fan of HP products.
