I only needed one cartridge! Will not live long enough to use two!

Product is good! No...it's excellent.
First, is the service. I live in a rural area.....out of the way....but the deliver is always, i repeat always fast. Add a good product to that and it doesn't get much better.

Terrific toner
For just a wee bit more than re-manufactered you get the OEM when you buy the 2-pack. Good deal!
