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…..

It works but is too costly!
This cartridge unlike other HP cartridges I have used in other laser printers costs too much for the number of pages it will print.

Recyle
We tried to recyle the old ink cartridge and the only shipping box Quill has for recyle is to ship about 50 cartridges back. As a small user we'd never have enough to send. It would be nice to be able to recyle just one or two at a time and still feel like we're helping the environment.

Printer Toner! You gotta have it!
It's toner. It's from the manufacturer. It's black. It fits your printer. There are two of them! What more do you want?

works well but very expensive
Why doesn't my local Staples carry this in the more economical 2 pack?

Good Quality Product
Crisp images documents. Easy to change out. Relatively clean replacement. The product seems to last longer than I anticipated it would.
