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…..

The toner cartridges work great and are very easy to replace (open box unwrap bubble wrap remove tab holding toner for shipping. Now open printe...

Great Product/Great Price
We use our printer a lot at work and go through ink like crazy! This cartridge holds up well and delivers the number of pages it says it does maybe even more.

Original the best
Although there are affordable options as a toner refill personally I always recommend buying original because you care for your printer and provide better performance.

Dependable product excellent quality
During tax season use for printing multiple page tax returns so larger cartridge would be helpful and avoid frequent changes. During remainder of year cartridge size is okay

too expensive for output
have bought a number of cartridges and the # of sheets printed is around 1600 - 1700 - for the cost of $ 80 each price per piece is expensive

Lasts longer than you think
Ink does what it should and is easy to change BUT be aware: the running low warning starts coming on way too soon. We make it last much, much longer by pulling the cartridge out, banging on the side and it's good for at least another 50-75 documents.

The yeild of this cartridge is good but would like for it to last lon...
