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…..

Yield 1/3 less than advertised
Number of copies produced well under advertised amount making this cartridge very expensive. Very disappointing!

Low Output Cartridge on 1200 dpi
If we set the printer to 600 dpi you get good value for money with the printed page being easy to read.On a high dpi this is not a cost effective product

Low output, high price --don't recommend
Personal use and working from home. We go though two cartridges per month. The duty cycle (number of pages printed per cartridge) is significantly less than advertised (perhaps half). Since the printer is a new purchase we are thinking of returning it to get one that uses better value toner cartridges.
