78A cartridge page yield
Terriible performance. I got on 588 double-sided copies (1176pp) from one cartridge that is rated at 2100pp output. I cannot afford to use this printer & will be trying to return it.

HP Ink at Staples
Staples always has the ink we need in stock, easy to find and checkout. Save time and order on line for pick-up in store or delivery to your address. This HP toner cartridge is easy to install in our HP printer and has a good print/ink. Be sure to take advantage of the staples rewards program and recycle your old cartridges for points. It's a great program which we take...

Best Ink for the Best Printer HP Makes
I love this ink because it comes with my trusty HP LaserJet P1606dn printer. This inexpensive printer and the HP78a Toner print flawlessly on two sides of the paper without smudge. Staples delivers it promptly whenever I run out!

Toner Cartridge

I know when I got the new position found that they were getting them f...

Toner of choice
I have always had HP printers and now I have an All-In-One. Once, only once did I use an off brand and it was a mess. I will always purchase genuine HP products.

Good quality but expensive
I don't switch toner cartridges very often, and while remanufactured cartridges are cheaper, the new ones provide better, more reliable quality. I wish they weren't quite so expensive though, it's almost cheaper to throw out the whole machine and buy a new one with a cartridge already installed.

Ink toner
I found a deal on the e-mail that offered a percentage off on office supplies. By taking the offer I was able to save about 30% of the cost of the ink cartridge I purchased. The cartridge was the brand name for the printer I use and is a perfect match for it
The cartridge will give me the 8000 copies I need for my office.

Performs as expected
I love that my printer lets me know when to purchase another of these, in advance of being "out of toner". I had time to order and didn't lose functionality for a moment.

Great product
I am a bug time coupon shopper and I was using an inkjet printer and buying ink every month. I switched to the toner and I have not bought toner in 3 months! I also used to have coupons not accepted because the print was not so good. I have not ONCE had a coupon denied since I purchased this toner and printer! The time it takes to print also is much faster!! I highly re...

Good product but
The but is that from the website I expected to be able to pick it up at my store if it was in stock but upon asking I found that was not possible. They had it in stock but said the store pick-up was not available for this order. So I waited and went to the store when it was said to be ready. However, eventhough I had the email saying it was there the store could not fin...

HP 78A Black Toner
The HP 78A Black Cartridge works wonderfully with my HP Printer. I only use authentic HP cartridges because I know my printer will always work as long as the cartridge has ink. I do wish they would make a HP 78X for this cartridge because the X series does last longer. The quality of print is excellent, clear and precise. It does not smudge or smear.

GREAT VALUE
I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT THE COST OF TONER WOULD OUT-WEIGH THE USES OF IT. I WAS WRONG! I HAD A LOT OF PRINTING TO DO, WELL OVER 1500 PAGES FOR A SUPREME COURT APPEAL, IT WAS CHEAPER FOR ME TO PURCHASE A LASER PRINTER AND TONER TO DO THE PRINTING AND COPYING MYSELF THAN IT WAS TO TAKE IT OUT AND HAVE IT DONE. i AM EXTEMELY SATISIFIED WITH THE PURCHASE!
