I bought this as a backup to the toner that was supplied with my new HP LaserJet Pro M203dw as is my practice whenever I buy a new printer - always want the most high yield toner on had when the original toner needs to be replaced.
The Performance Rating below is based on HP's reputation as it is still in the original box.
After struggling with a 12 year old 'monster' sized Brother 'All-in-One' color laser printer that was so big and heavy i need to buy a small beefy table to put it on, i was ready to get something a little more practical and lower-cost to use. The Brother printer did decent printing for maybe the first 5 or 6 years but slowly started to deteriorate until finally, with yellow, blue and magenta bleeding on all sides of copies i would make, i knew it was time to upgrade. The cost of replacing those 4 cartridges was also a major factor as to replace them all at the same time, using the high-yield cartridges i always bought to save a few bucks, cost about $500. Enough about the old..... (and carrying this down to the curb for the recycle truck was no fun, either!) So the new HP M227fdw printer i bought is much smaller, is only b&w which is all i ever use and fits on my desktop... Prints beautifully and the high-yield HP 30X cartridge i just bought is as easy to install as any printer I've ever owned. As this is only about a month old, time will tell if it delivers the results i expect but everyone i ever asked an opinion about regarding printers always say -- immediately, i might add-- "Get HP!"
So ok..... i did! (4 stars now until it proves it deserves all that praise)
