Recommended toner for the HP LaserJet 1320 Printer
This is the recommended toner for our HP LaserJet 1320 printer, and it is the one I have used since we purchased the printer. It is excellent quality. So long as HP continues to manufacture it, I'll be using it.

Quality of INk has degraded
I have been purchasing this cartridge for well over 5 years and this time it appears that HP is cutting back on the quality of the Ink. After printing only a few pages, the print is already so faded that it seems like the cartridge has been used for over six months or so.

Black Toner
I like the Toner I've used many times when doing tax returns. I get a lot of printing done with one Cartridge. I go through three during tax season Print a lot of detail sheets along with the return.

Gotta have it
My HP LaserJet's low-toner light started flashing, indicating it was time to run over to Staples and buy HP 49X Black Toner Cartridge (Q5949X). Depending on finances, I always try to purchase the high yield ("X") as it will last longer. Though it's more money up front, it's cheaper in the long run. And I ALWAYS buy original HP toner, not inferior-quality knock-off toner...

Great product
The 49X toner cartridge lasts for over a year at the rate that I print documents.

HP Toner
This is a factory manufactured replacement toner cartridge for a HP printer. For the best quality printed pages we always use genuine factory cartridges. They do not jam and last longer than other replacement products.

HP TONER 49X GREAT PRODUCT
The toner I purchased from Staples is a great toner because it lasts loner than your normal regular toner. I purchased the toner from Staples since it was on sale and I was able to use my coupons and I never have problems with their products.

HP49X Laser Printer Cartridge
As a writer, I use A LOT OF CARTRIDGES. It's exciting to know that the X series will double the output of my new cartridge. It's easy to order cartridges through Staples.com and the service could not be better. The cartridges are delivered the very next day. And, being a Staples Rewards member really pays off with the e-mail discount notices applied to my cartdige purch...

The best for the money
Great quality, long lasting, easy to put in, works all the time, HP products are the best to buy, would never replace it with anything else,. Always buy the best and that is HP. Never substitute.

Always works
I have had my HP Laserjet 1320 for many years. When it runs out of toner I replace it with an HP original 49X cartridge and it works perfect every time! I tried a generic ONCE. The quality was terrible. I also tried a refill service ONCE and it didn't work at all. Buying the HP original product is the best way to go. It costs more, but I make up for it by saving time no...

Not compatible with HP 1320
After three attempts to replace my 2 year old depleted 49X cartridge with three different new (from HP) 49X cartridges I spoke with HP technical support. Technical support said the 49X does not work with the "basic" HP 1320. (Other models maybe OK?) I was told to use the 49A cartridge. I did, and the 49A cartridge works well; just as well as the depleted 49X previously ...

49X Black Toner Cartridge (High Yield)
Get great copies and cartridge seems to last a long time. When your printer indicates that it needs a new cartridge, you can take it out and tilt it from side to side, put it back in the printer and it continues to prints!

Black Toner HP49X
We go through a lot of toner and have several important documents that are printed on a monthly basis. We have never had any problems with this brand toner and we actually recommend it to other business and people.

Longer Lasting Toner
Although the price for the HP49X cartridge is higher than the normal LaserJet refill, I have found that it lasts very well, and represents a saving in dollars as well as trouble. I give this product high marks.

HP 49X
Well, this is the toner for our current printer and since this is the toner for the printer this is what we purchase. I really do not have an opinion on this product since it is what it is. If you want to use this printer, well duh, you need to purchase the correct cartridge.

excellent choice for exc. printer
I have used HP printers in my home office for more than 25 years, and have found them to be durable and productive. Very little that goes wrong bwith them. The 49x ink on a HP1320 is good, long-lasting, and produces a clean B/W printout. Although I occasionally need a color prunt out, I have an inexpensive HP inkjet for that. As journalist and professor, I recommend bot...

good ink, low maintenance
Cartridge is easily installed and removed. Gives good ink and does not smudge in my experience. The sticker price may appear to be more than budget for some, but there are advertised rebates at times and you get reimbursed when return spent cartridge. Also, when one gets coupons several times a year for making purchases in the store, this is a good item to apply them to...
