[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] been using these for years at both home and work. Only down side is they are very expensive. But, worth it to me
I "thought" i was saving money by buying "non-hp" cartridges, and although printing looked OK for a couple weeks, even though I was below the page count for the "cheap" cartridges I bought, the printing was light and fading. I thought maybe something else was wrong. So, I bit the bullet and ordered a genuine HP cartridge, installed it and instantly had a "new printer" again. Being the curious one, I opened up the "non-hp" cartridge, and to my amazement, the toner bay was completely empty. So much for the "hi capacity" page counts that the "generic" vendor touted. Even though HP toner cartridges are a little more expensive, in the long run, you get quality printing for the full number of pages advertised, so you are actually saving money.
