When this cartridge was installed after being opened from the sealed box and protective wrap, the printer said it was a used cartridge and didn't go through the process of verifying I had installed a new HP cartridge. Very unhappy to pay full price for a new cartridge and receive a used one.
Purchasing toner should not be a significant fraction of the cost to purchase a new printer. HP should find ways to reduce the cost of this product or offer a more economic alternative. The packaging is over-engineered, which also no doubt adds some cost. While I care about the quality of the toner and product the extra mechanism for HP to verify it is genuine does not add value to me.
