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.

I buy this product again and again and..
Would really like to see a high capacity version so I wouldn't have to go to Staples so often to get replacements. Not that I don't like staples, I always find things to spend my money on.

Poor Printer Cartridge
I do not recommend buying any HP printer that requires this printer cartridge. We got approx. 500 sheets printed with the cartridge before it ran out of ink. The next time I buy a printer, I'll make sure I research how good it's printer cartridge is. I'm extremely disappointed in this product.

Very Good Quality
This cartridge never lets me down only thing is if you are a heavy duty user such as myself you will be replacing this cartridge every 6-8 weeks.
This is my local printer at my desk, I print documents over 20 pages on our network printer.

Does a good job, wish it was less expensive. Don't get as many printings as some other HP printers

Dissapointing
I bought a new Brother MFP, in fact the printer is a very good one BUT, I didnt realize that it came with this toner cartridge. It is exoensive and does not last at all. The yoeld is so poor that I think I will have to change my printer again. The worst thing is that my printer does not have a High Yield option cartridge. My advise, check the toner yield page before buy...

Rip Off
HP has you locked in on this one. Bought a laser multifunction MP1536dnf at a reasonable price. Went through 5 toners already and they average 1500 page yield. My old Dell toner was the same price and yielded 5000, sometimes more on eco mode. that's more than triple the amount! There are no reasonable alternatives and generic brands are worse. Stuck with this until affo...

More expensive than gas!
Lots of uses. HP has reduced usability and has raised the prices. What! You work for the petroleum industry???

Ink Toner 78A
Definitely does not produce number of copies it states, Far less. The cheaper Dell cartridges from previous printers produce more life and at a major price reduction.
Would definiely think twice about buying another printer which takes these. I bought three printers, should of tried one first.

Yield 1/3 less than advertised
Number of copies produced well under advertised amount making this cartridge very expensive. Very disappointing!

Low Output Cartridge on 1200 dpi
If we set the printer to 600 dpi you get good value for money with the printed page being easy to read.
On a high dpi this is not a cost effective product
