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…..

Its a toner
What can I say - it's a toner cartridge. No more no less.

speak english
there is nothing intuitive about this. check the chip for damage. where is the chip? there is a tab that needs to be pulled out. how far to pull? will it pop out completely? should i cut it ? no way to know. awful! there are no written instructions anywhere. the visual symbols are dark and indecipherable.

Very Disappointing!
This cartridge doesn't last long at all! And unlike other cartridge's there is 'shake time'. If it starts to run out you better hope you have a spare because it goes from working to nothing. For the price they are such a disappointment. I also dislike there is no high-yield option which means we go through the singles rather quickly. Wish we would have chosen a differe...

Not nearly enough pages for the money
What a disappointment! Approximately 1000 pages per toner. I must have taken the toner out of the printer 20 times - shook it up - and put it back - to get to 1000 pages.
