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…..

Shake It Up Baby Now
Quality is good, but we find that near the end of the ink life, the cartridge needs to be removed and shaken to be able to use all of the ink that it contains. This should not be necessary...

Great value
We love that they combine 2 since we go through them so often. Still can't believe the cost of these things! you'd think it was squeezed directly out of a squid in the cartridge. Oh well, the cost of doing business.

Very Pleased
We use our HP LaserJet as a personal computer in a small office setting and are quite pleased with the performance. It is very easy to change the cartridge and maintain the printer. I recommend this printer for those who need the ease of printing one color documents for review or distribution to their team.

I wasted a lot of time to...

HP 78 A
I prefer the genuine HP product to the other products because they tend to last longer than the remanufactured brands. it may cost a little bit more but you will have a couple thousand more pages for your money. Although the remanufactured brands are less than the genuine product you will get less in the long run because you will have less pages printed and find you wil...

Best Deal Ever for Toner Cartridge
This is the best deal ever for this kind of cartridge because it comes in twin pack. It is more affordable compared to just getting only one HP 78A black toner cartridge. I would say that this product lasts for about four months and used for everyday printing. I would recommend this to all those who has the same printer and get it from Staples because they give the best...

Wonderful Cartridge= wonderful printer
I am very satisfied of the decision I made to buy an HP printer that this cartridge supports. It does not drain ink like previous printers I've had. I've been having this printer for a long time and use it for both home and work use and I am VERY satisfied.
