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…..

Sharper text
This works better with sharper images than 3rd party cartridges in my opinion.

Old Faithful
I have been using HP toner cartridges for the office and home for many years. They are long lasting and provide excellent quality printing. Other toner cannot hold a candle to them.

HP toner a steady performer
We have relied on our HP laser printer as the office workhorse. The cartridge provides excellent clear prints right down to it needing replacement no signs of trapped powder needing shaking and reinstalling. A quality replacement part we will continue to rely on.

Very happy with this older hp printer not impressed with newer hp copiers. This was an expensive purchase for a sole proprietor but glad the toner is still available. This is a great printer for text projects.

It's Toner - It's Expensive
It's toner. It works as advertised. But price is always high and HP ink/toner never really goes on sale.

Genuine HP always top quality
Although one can get aftermarket cartridges much cheaper online they are often refills and do not always live up to expectations. Some do some don't. The HP cartridges while more expensive are always top quality.

Had no choice
I'm ok with the product. The price is outrageously expensive and totally non competitive; what choice did I have? I did appreciate the ease of replacing the cartridge in the printer and liked how the company fosters recycling the used ones.

HP Laser printer toner
It’s always been my go-to for my laser printer. Maybe that’s why it’s lasted so long.
