Dependable Performance
Although the toner is pricey, I get 10,000 perfect copies from each toner cartridge. I have tried the "reconstituted" toners, but have been nervous that I wouldn't get the kind of copies I need and rely on for my business. So for peace of mind, I reorder the "real" toner and take advantage of promotions offered by HP.

A rip off
This tonor did not last 10,000 pages...at all.
Barely lasted a month with same amount of pages we have always printed.

Toner and delivery was fine. Getting the order processed sucked.
The cartridge is fine and works like it should. Ordering online does not seem to work for me and I get the same suggestion to fix the problem and I end up with the same result. I enter the order twice and then still have to call it in.
Why doesn't your system like me or my credit card?
