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…..

Great Buy!
I have used these toners for multiple printers in my office. We like we have a twin pack available so we save a few bucks when we buy. It will last us about 2-3 months before we have to switch as of right now we dont print many pages but we do put it to use. I Recommend buying the twin pack although these toners are prety pricey. I do like that they have the recycling ...

We purchased a new laserjet printer last month and the HP78A cartridge was much cheaper then the cartridge we used for our old laserjet printer.We have found the quality of ink is great! And the cartridge last much longer then the old one.

Worry-free production
I love getting on the open highway with full throttle. This toner in its sweet printer is like the open highway full throttle. I can slam through the gears of document upon document and the capacity of this cartridge turns out the print copies without a care in the world. I highly recommend this. I enjoy it so much that want to upgrade my home printer to be the same as ...

Will only use these!!!!
We have purchased all types of toners over our 20+ years in business. We finally all agree - we only buy original HP toners for our machines. Things seem to just work so much smoother.

TONER REVIEW
I love that Staples offers a two pack of toner. The place I work is in a rural area and the fact I can order supplies on-line is such a great convenience for me. I do not have to drive the thirty minutes it takes to get to the nearest Staples store which saves me time and the office money. The people who help me with the online live chat are always so very helpful. Your...

I would love it if it had a bigger capacity for printing more pages. It just seems like it runs out really quick.

Long-lasting sharp
This cartridge seems to last forever - I have never had a problem with these cartridges. The results are always sharp and when they give the warning that the toner is low there are another thousand or so pages I can get out of the cartridge as long as I am printing just with the black. The color cartridges don't have quite the longevity that the black does. I also like...
