Love to change! So Easy!
This is my everyday printer and this printer is printing a lot of documents. The cartridge lasts a long time. I use it until it starts to get light.

Works but ungodly expensive
Works well but is too expensive for a very limited life.

Too expensive
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.

I buy this product time and time again!!
We use this cartridge all day everyday at our office for all types of letters, documents, invoices, and even our checks. Clear sharp print. We all really like it and i am happy with the price of it. Never last long enough but what does.

Fantastic!
We print shipping manifests 18 hours every day 5 - 6 days a week and we definitely need a high quality toner that has a high yield. This product most certainly exceeds our expectations.

It does what a print cartridge should do...make great printing easy. It actually lasts a very long time considering how much we use it. Great stuff but VERY expensive!!!

Always a good toner cartridge
Usually the price of a toner cartridge goes down over time. This toner cartridge has increased in price since I bought the printer. It must be a popular printer. I notice many other businesses use this printer.

High Yield cartridges REALLY worth money
the high yield cartridges are always the way to go. you get much more printing bang for your buck. do the math.
