UNFORTUNATELY I'M A BIT BIASED, I REALLY DON'T HAVE A CHOICE BUT TO USE THIS PARTICULAR TONER CARTRIDGE BECAUSE OF THE PRINTER I AM USING. THAT SAID, THIS TONER IS EXCELLENT, CLEAR AND CLEAN, I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WITH IT ASIDE FROM THE COST. MOST OF THESE TONER CARTRIDGES ARE A BIT PRICEY BUT FORTUNATELY THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE BOUGHT THAT OFTEN, SO I GUESS THAT'S A PRO NOT A CON. IF YOU CAN FIND A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE, BY ALL MEANS DO IT, BUT QUALITY WISE, IT CAN'T BE BEAT.

Installation was easy, no muss, no fuss, so I was surprised to find that the first dozen copies were spattered with black spots. After that, print has been crisp and clear, very professional quality. It seems like only yesterday that HP cartridges lasted for 7,000-10,000 copies each and cost at least 20% less than these 3,000 copy-rated cartridges. I print both family and business-related documents often enough to consume 20 to 25 reams of copier paper/year. In recent past years, that meant 2 toner cartridges/year, but given my experiences in 2009, I must now budget for at least 4 cartridges/yr. at ever-increasing price per cartridge.
