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…..

Very Good Quality
This cartridge never lets me down only thing is if you are a heavy duty user such as myself you will be replacing this cartridge every 6-8 weeks. This is my local printer at my desk I print documents over 20 pages on our network printer.

Rip Off
HP has you locked in on this one. Bought a laser multifunction MP1536dnf at a reasonable price. Went through 5 toners already and they average 1500 page yield. My old Dell toner was the same price and yielded 5000 sometimes more on eco mode. that's more than triple the amount! There are no reasonable alternatives and generic brands are worse. Stuck with this until affo...

Dissapointing
I bought a new Brother MFP in fact the printer is a very good one BUT I didnt realize that it came with this toner cartridge. It is exoensive and does not last at all. The yoeld is so poor that I think I will have to change my printer again. The worst thing is that my printer does not have a High Yield option cartridge. My advise check the toner yield page before buy...

More expensive than gas!
Lots of uses. HP has reduced usability and has raised the prices. What! You work for the petroleum industry???

Ink Toner 78A
Definitely does not produce number of copies it states Far less. The cheaper Dell cartridges from previous printers produce more life and at a major price reduction. Would definiely think twice about buying another printer which takes these. I bought three printers should of tried one first.
