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.

Go 42A Toner
I was able to buy two toners for my printer for the price of one Hp 42 toner. Very disappointed.

Several were defective!
These usually last 4-6 months, but we used 5 between Dec 20 and Apr 15. We were told by our repair tech that the toners were defective. They are too much money for this to occur!

HP is better than generic, but expensive
I like the HP toners, tried the 42x, but didn't fit in machine despite being told it would. The only downfall is the price.

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.

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.
