Works as decribed and easy to install

Very easy to install and not messy. The copies left is very accurate. Good quality when applied to HP laser printers. I particularly enjoy Staples replacement cartridge incentive and always love the Staples REWARDS...Read complete review

Bought the toner at Staples in an emergency situation since our toner ran out. We go through another supplier with much lower prices and get the 42X (not 42A). The 42X has much more toner inside and the 42A is something we will only buy from Staples if we run out and need one ASAP. It will not be a repeat purchase otherwise.
