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.
This cartridge is a monster and you figure there's no way you ordered the right one to fit in this printer. Yet, it does! You just pop open the drawer and slide the cartridge in sideways and you're done. And it lasts forever. Well done!
Seems a couple of times (at least two) I've ordered this set of color cartridges and the blue print is more of a light teal. I can not get a true blue out of it. I would say it's the printer but sometimes when the new cartridges are replaced it's blue again. No real explaination just letting you know.
