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…..

Excellent toner cratridge
This HP 78A toner cartridge does what it is supposed to do and does it well. The P1606 printer itself is a little gem - never jams.Got more than 2500 pages from a cartridge advertised to do 2100 pages - Not bad ! Can't complain.

Too Expensive
This is a costly way to have to do business. In the future I will look for printers that have more inexpensive cartridges or refillable cartridges.

HP 78A Toner
I bought a printer that uses toner instead of ink. I figured it would last longer for the price. I personally feel for the price that it should last longer than a month. I do not feel I get the average 2 100 pages per toner. Torn on recommending this product.

Excelient cartridge

Cost less than a single butttttt
We use about 4 78A's per month and about 4 cases of paper per month give or take a case.

So my question that I cannot seem to get answered is do you get less tonner in a double pack?? It does cost less but it seems that you get what you pay for. W...

Low output for the high price
My cartridge went after 1300 pages. HP states the estimated yield is 2100 pages. I printed mostly text and little graphics. I do not recommend this cartridge.
