Get maybe 1700 pages yield, if lucky
This toner does not get anywhere near 2300 page yield! HP claims its yield is "reasonable" at 1500-1700 . We are replacing this toner 3 times more often than the last model of the same printer. Very disappointed

I buy this product again and again
I've tried other less expensive brands and they just aren't as great. I've never had a problem with this cartridge.

I would buy this product again-great!
This product produces clear, great copies and I would definitely purchase it again and again, as long as I have my current printer.

Very satsified. Just purchased printer.
Just purchased this new printer and this is the cartridge that it uses. Very happy thus far. Much better than the prior printer and cartridge I used to have.

Pop up led me astray
I was ordering the HP 05A cartridge online when a popup appeared suggesting I should try the 05X. Since I was working on a job that was going to require 3000 pages, I thought, Why not? It was delivered promptly, as always, and I went to change cartridges and to my dismay it did not fit my printer! Lesson learned - read the small print and don't just trust a popup. Stapl...

Buy and accept no generic substitutes
I bought a cheaper substitute and it did not fit correctly. I did get about 2 1/2 months out of the cheap substitute and then paper began to jam. This was corrected immediately after the genuine HP replaced the cheap substitute. I neither own HP stock nor do I work for HP. However, despite the price, buy the HP cartridge!

Site wrong! Doesn't fit all printers
The Staples web site seems to indicate that this cartridge fits all my printer model. IN FACT, I bought this printer because of the CPP analysis I did on various printers and cartridges. If I had know that only the low volume cartridge fit, I would not have purchased this printer!

Grad students' can save with this!
I am a grad student going to school to become a teacher; my husband is also in school to be an educator. We write lesson plans daily that can be 20 or more pages long single-spaced. We realized after one semester that our other two printers used enough ink to pay for our HP inkjet printer and a cartridge. We have saved hundreds of dollars just on ink since purchasing th...

Did not fit printer it was purchased for
The product was purchased online and was selected based on being the hi-capacity substitute for cartridge 05A. 05A fits my printer, the HP 2035n The 05X does not. I actually need to return the product for a credit.

BOTH CE505 INK CARTRIGES HAVE FLAWS
The Ink Flag Light comes on almost immediately, even though there is lots of ink left in the cartridge. DON'T trust the light. Wait for the cartridge to actually run out of ink, but have a replacement on hand for the day that eventuality comes true.

WOW
At the cost of this product, I was expecting 24ct.gold dust in the cartridge not black powder. LaserJet ink cartridge prices are completely out of hand and completely unjustified in my humble opinion.

Cost-effective
While there is an expensive up-front cost, in the long run it is worth the price. However, the advertised life expectancy is false; expect 500-1,000 pages less.
