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…..

Good product
Product is good quality but lacks a good yield for the price. An extended version that would produce a yield of between 3500 to 5000 pages would be fantastic.

It is what it is
We have no choice but to use it because it is the one that goes with the printer....it does seem to have a short life on it and is very expensive for that issue

NOT ENOUGH FOR THE MONEY

It pays to stick with the best
I tried re-manufactured alternatives but the quality isn't there. With the 2 pack at least we get 10% off .

Does what it's supposed to....
