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…..

Dependable
Using the HP toners make life so much easier because they are dependable and consistent in colors and amount of printing jobs. The generic of refillable cartridges are definitely not to the same standard - don't waste your money or time!

Used in 4 office printers
We have 4 office printers that use this cartridge. I never want to be without an extra so the double packet saves us real money and always lets me have a reserve. I have yet to have a problem with this product.

What can I say?
This HP branded toner cartridge seems to last longer (print more pages) than an off brand cartridge. We always buy the twin pack due to the savings! We love Staples!

HP 78A
Arrived just in time as the cartridge in the printer just ran out of toner. Placed it in the printer and it worked just as intended.

Great INK
Staples always has this ink in-store but if I don't feel like going to the store the shipping is very fast and it is very easy to order online. I signed up for the 10% off ink program and it works great. I go through tons of ink and I only like to use HP original cartridges so that my printer doesn't get messed up with generic cartridges. I get a ton of ink out of this ...
