This is great

doesn't last long enough when using for full page printing of pictures. Could use something that I could refill.

Evaporating Toner?

I use this toner mainly for document printing in a home environment. We have several students in the family and probably print more than the average home environment; maybe comparative to a small business....Read complete review

I use this toner mainly for document printing in a home environment. We have several students in the family and probably print more than the average home environment; maybe comparative to a small business.

The toner works just fine, but has an extremely short cartridge life. I sometimes wonder if it evaporates! (But how can a powder evaporate?) Anyway, it vanishes very quickly, lasting only about two weeks at most.

    I may print 500 pages of black text and I find
    that I go through 2 black toners and one of each other color even
    when there not being used. Ink is the way to go.

        Comments about Lexmark C540A1KG Black Toner Cartridge:

        None of these cartriges yield the number of pages that they advertise. I don't print full pages of solid color, just standard pages with some photos and color text in them. In all cases I end up replacing the cartriges after about 100 - NOT 1,000 - sheets. the printer itself (lexmark C540DW) was inexpensive, but they rock you with cartrige expenses. I'm not happy, but I'm stuck...buyer beware!!
