I only needed one cartridge! Will not live long enough to use two!
Already responded that it is unfair to make a customer buy two in a pack when self life and use are considered. $215 for two cartridges is really unconscionable and unfair. Address the issue…..

Excellent toner
I’ve tried generics for my printer but the resulting print is not as crisp and the refill doesn’t last as long as HP brand. I’ll stick with the brand meant for my 8+ year old printer.

Good quality results
I have been using Quill brand toner cartridges for about a year with disappointing results. The black was never very dark and anything in a lighter grey just didn’t get printed. I thought it was time for a new printer. Luckily I decided to try the HP cartridge first. Printing with it is great. I don’t recommend quill brand cartridges. Stick with OEM.

Excellent Service
I was impressed with how quickly our order arrived at the business. The toner works perfectly and the recycling program is a bonus to help the environment.

These toner cartridges are way too expensive I will not buy them from Staples in the future unless the price goes way down.

One at a time
Good news they had the cartridge in the store which we needed immediately for some work my spouse was printing. Bad news I had to buy a two pack because they had no single packs. And there was no price advantage in buying two.

My experience with HP LASERJET printing
HP's LASERJET print cartridges are the professional's choice. These cartridges print many thousands of pages of crisp, eye-pleasing, smudge-resistant text. They are literally a snap to install, and provide months of trouble-free, high-quality service.
