Comments about Lexmark C540A1CG Cyan Toner Cartridge:

The printer itself is excellent. To print everyday documents to reports. In general I find I never get the pages on any laser printer from any printer or brand for that matter. But this lexmark is ridiculous. It is never even close when I'm even doing just regular text only type printing. The toners just don't last as long and the printer gives you little warning when it is about to run out of toner. Once any toner runs out too, it won't let you print anything. I still have this printer but replaced it with a new competitors product that uses ink instead of toner but can print faster than the laser even- the quality is not as good as the lexmark laser but for what I mostly use it as, the new ink printer is "good enough" in 98 percent of what I'm using. To sum it up, the toner is great butfor what I use the printer for I can't justify the high price of the toner for the few prints I get out of it. If you have an unlimited budget for purchasing toner then go for it. It just came down to me at one point I can buy three of the four replacement toners I needed or buy a brand new printer, it really makes you think.

Comments about Lexmark C540A1CG Cyan Toner Cartridge:

This is not what I expected when I bought a Lexmark Printer. I would have expected these cartridges to last much longer than what I am getting for the cost of the cartridge. I am extremely disappointed in the product.

        Comments about Lexmark C540A1CG Cyan Toner Cartridge:

        Exactly the same as the high-capacity cartridge just half as much toner in it. Even though there is a refill plug under a side label and has no imaging components in it whatsoever cannot be refilled...a counter chip expires the cartridge when it hits page count limit, even if there is some toner left in it. No override to use until empty. Would rather pay a little extra for high-capacity cartridge but stores only carry standard.

          what is the difference between the cyan, magenta, and yellow...or is it that i need all three to be full color?

            A:

            yes, as with any color printer, it mixes colors to make a full-color document. So, yes, you need all the colors installed. Most printers, even if printing B&W, you'll still need all colors installed.
