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…..

This is a great product.
As I said above, it's a great product, but there is no warning as to when the toner will go out, and I print lengthy documents. Sometime, I'll get close to the end of the document, and the toner just goes out.

Cartridge life too skimpy.
In my opinion, HP gyps you with the amount of toner actually in this cartridge. I have weighed the "full" cartridge against the "empty" cartridge and the only difference was about 100g of toner. It doesn't last for me anywhere near as long as projected. I had a workhorse HP LaserJet 1200 and its cartridges lasted twice to 2.5 times as long as my p1606dn for which these ...

Very short cartridge life for the price you pay.

Most expensive
I change my printer because of old one is not compitable with Acrobate Reader 10.0 or higher. After use of new HP printer nearly 3 weeks I found out cartidge output is very low and too costly to use. Since I bought (Feb 2012)and replaces 3-4 cartidges through April 2012. Now I am using generic and runs good then HP original !!!!

This is a great product
This is a great product, but you need to make a larger size. I do a lot of papers and I'm always running out of toner. I'm thinking about switching printers becauce of it. This toner is not cheap and when you have to keep replacing it gets expensive. Please consider. Thanks

somewhat disappointing
I would buy a different printer- since the cartridge does not last very long and it's expensive to replace.

Erases savings gained with printer
I read printer mfgs. made their money on cartridges. This is my first experience of running thru
a toner so quickly. I've used HP for years. Great machines! This will be an expensive unit to maintain if the cartridge empties so quickly.
